Want to Learn How to Use Patch?

Local Editor Dawn Aulet will be teaching a free class at Joliet Junior College.

Patch offers its users the ability to read news, interact with their neighbors and comment on stories. But that is just the tip of the iceburg. You can post your events, like your garage sales on the site. You can post announcements or share photos on the site for your neighbors to see. And, lastly, you can blog on the site and we would love it if you did.

But we know that the though of any of these things can be intimidating. So we have a way for your to learn how to use Patch to your advantage. From 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m., Feb. 28, at Joliet Junior College, Local Editor Dawn Aulet will teach community members and business owners how to do all of these things and more. The class is free, but you do need to register.

You can find information on the class and registration instuctions here.
