"Main Street Meet-Up" Scheduled for Lamorinda

Lamorinda Patch is pleased to announce that its inaugural has been scheduled for Tuesday, May 15 at the Veterans Hall
at 3780 Mt. Diablo Blvd. in Lafayette.

The informal, very Patchy — and free — gathering is built to give business owners already using Patch and those who want to use Patch insight into how doing so will help increase their visibility. We’ll serve refreshments, give out door prizes and swag and set up learning stations dealing with social media, business directories, blogging and other ways you can tell your story online.

We'll be meeting from 8:30 a.m. to roughly 10:30 a.m. so as not to take too much of your valuable business day.

If you're interested in joining us on May 15, drop us a line with your company name or affiliation in the comment section of this post and we'll add you to our list of attendees.

We’ll be helping participating business owners claim their Patch Places business page on our site, a free service that you can use to better promote your business.

And if you’re already an active Patch user, we’d still like you to come and help your fellow business owners and the Patch team learn more about what works when it comes to navigating the web. Reviews of our first three Main Street Meet-Ups, held in Walnut Creek, Livermore and Newark, have been stellar, with more than 80 participants giving us high survey marks and feedback that they found the event extremely valuable.
