Patch sites are designed in a way that is easy for users to post their own announcement. It's all good. We want you to tell everyone about the marching band competition, the latest service project for the Boy Scouts and Girls Scouts, the ribbon-cutting ceremony for the new business in town or the soccer kick competition at the school fields.
