Patch 101: Patch 101 is open to the public at large and is a great way to learn how to maximize all that Patch.com has to offer! Patch.com reps will be here to give a brief overview of "what" Patch.com is all about, then we'll break off, with laptops (please bring your own if you have one – we have wifi), and help individuals and small groups learn how to post events, open blog accounts, etc… or just answer questions. There will be some delicious Updike's Newtown micro-roasted coffee and lunch catered by Eddie’s BBQ. It's free and informative so mark your calendar and come on by. 11 a.m. at The Hive, Lafayette Mill, 650 Ten Rod Road.
