Hi Liz. thanks for you recent photos of the Memorial Congregational Church in Sudbury. I'm the publicity coordinator for the church and want to claim ownership of the church profile on patch.com, since there are some inaccuracies (your photos are new and accurate). can you direct me to the person who's responsible for institutional entry claims? thanks.

Hi Liz, I sent you an e-mail on June 8. I'm an experienced magazine/online editor looking to start a Patch in my community of Groton, MA. We need your help out here!
Why a Groton Patch (perhaps combined with neighboring Pepperell or Dunstable)? Our newspaper (the Groton Landmark) is part of a big conglomerate, so they print very little local information. Our other newspaper (the Groton Herald) will only print news for advertisers. The pulse of our community—the arts, nonprofits, interesting residents, local restaurants and businesses, events—goes unmentioned. I rely on a local listserv to find out what's really going on.
Why me? Let's talk! 978.314.0501
