What is Patch?

In case you're still wondering, here's a pretty good explanation.

Patch is a multitude of community connectivity, helping keep everyone "in the loop" on what's going on right here in Fox Point and Bayside. This video gives an overview of our mission, keeping everyone connected and informed.

Thanks for visiting, and if you come across anything at all that you think needs more attention in Fox Point and Bayside, or you'd just like to grab a cup of coffee, always feel free to email Editor Sarah Worthman.
