Meet Your Patch at Sertinos Thursday

The busy life of a Patch staffer can keep us running from place to place, but for two days next week we're making extra time to do what really matters: meeting our community in person.

On March 22, editors and managers from Smithtown, Kings Park, Commack and Hauppauge Patches will set up shop at Smithtown's from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. to meet with locals. We'll be there to listen to the great story pitches you have and to help users get set up with our free newsletters and other tools for staying informed. At the same time, if you run a local business we'll be there to help you to better educate the community about what your business offers.

So come on down. It's , plus we'll be giving out free coffee and other Patch gifts to attendees.

So come on down. It should be a great time. We're looking forward to meeting you.
