Join Me And Learn More About Maximizing Your Experience With Southington Patch

Let's face it, we are here to serve the community and we can't do that without input from our readers. That's where you come in.

We've had almost a dozen visitors in the past couple weeks during the office hours at , and I want you to join me and tell me what you think of the site. And please, be honest!

The site has built a strong following, but we want to open up our doors and make sure it's not just a site you will read but one you can use. Whether it's sharing your opinions, learning how to post an event or announcement, or just meeting the editor.

I will be at Caffe Del Mondo from noon to 2 p.m. and I'd love to meet you in person.

Just stop in, introduce yourself and ask anything you'd like about the site. Consider it an open invitation to learn how to navigate the site, receive details on posting events or announcements, share your concerns and what matters to you, or just stop by to say hi.

Of course, if that time doesn't work for you, you can always email me as jason.vallee@patch.com to set up an appointment.

It's not hard to find me — I'll be the one with the laptop labeled Patch. I hope to meet you soon!
