Try as we might, Patch Local Editors can't be everywhere at once— and believe me, we do try!

That said, we can publish almost everything newsworthy in the communities we cover with a little help from our readers.

Are you planning a fundraiser? Did you receive an award? Recently get married? Lose a pet? Find a pet? Take a beautiful photo gallery of something in the Rivertowns? 

Did you try something new (zumba, pottery classes or a language exchange?) that you're just dying to let the community know about?

The possibilities are endless!

Below is a simple how-to guide for posting your community announcements on Patch (please refrain from posting business promotionals.)

1. Go to Rivertowns  Patch—and create an account by clicking "sign up" at the top of the page.
2. Click "Announce something to everyone" at the bottom of the page to create a new announcement. (It's the third option below "Contribute").
3. Make sure to add the photos where it says "Choose file to upload."
4. Once you click "Post My Announcement" at the bottom, you will come to the page that features your announcement. ... Just send the URL to elizabeth@patch.com and I will feature it for you on the homepage. 

It's that simple. But if you do get stuck, call me any time at (914) 714 3051.
