Events and Announcements
Our events calendar is chock full of places to see and things to do. From library programs and board meeting notices to support group information and book signings, we've got it all. In the Announcements section you'll find all sorts of feel-good news about neighbors' recent accomplishments and life events. We couldn't cover it all without your help of course! So feel free to upload your own events and announcements directly through our site.
We've teamed up with the local police precincts and fire departments to let you know just what's going on in our neighborhood. This will include fires, crime reports, accidents, and road closures.
You have an opinion and we want to hear it! Readers are encouraged to send us your thoughts. You will also find columns and useful information from local politicians and residents in this section. And we encourage Montclair students to write for us as well! Interested in being a regular columnist who can contribute Montclair-related content? Have a video you'd like to share? Contact Shelley@patch.com.
Ah! The driving force behind it all! Our Montclair Patch staff will be here, there, and everywhere in search of local news. We'll be in the audience at the school board and town council meetings, on the sidelines at local sporting event games, in the crowd at the July 4th fireworks, and videoing your kid's holiday concerts.
We are not just about Montclair, but for Montclair. We want your comments, opinions, announcements, and ideas. If you think there's something that we should cover, let us know. You can email me, editor Shelley Emling at Shelley@patch.com or call me at 973-744-3112. Follow us on Twitter at MontclairPatch and "like" us on Facebook. I look forward to getting to know Montclair even better and meeting all of you. Please, let me hear from you.
