Have Some News? Tell the World

Did you recently become engaged? Having a baby? Did you just get promoted?

Belmont Patch wants to help you get the word out.

Our announcements section lets you post free updates about engagements, weddings, births and graduations, right here on Patch. You can upload your cute engagement pics and post the link on your Facebook page. Your friends and family can even leave you congratulatory comments as a lasting reminder of your exciting news.

You can also post announcements if you're trying to raise money for a fundraiser, publicize an award you or your organization has won, or if you want to remember a loved one through an obituary. 

All are free on Patch, and if you send an email to vanessa@patch.com when you upload your announcement, I will feature it on the front page. What better way to let the world know your news?

The video on the top right gives a detailed tutorial on how to post your announcement; you can also follow the instructions below:
