Coming Soon! Vernon Patch Hits Refresh

About two years ago, we launched Vernon Patch with a pretty bold mission in mind: To make your life ridiculously easy.

That meant covering the biggest - and smallest - stories in town.

At every turn we thought of new and better ways to deliver on our promise, which is why we’re so excited to premiere an improved Vernon Patch next month.

Come mid-December you’ll be able to:

• Personalize Vernon Patch by following groups. A few clicks makes your local news feed custom-fit to the topics you care about. The police calls and school news? Taxes and Town Council? Youth sports? Why not?
• Better organize your day by creating groups of your own. Use Patch to plan a rec sports league or school fundraiser. Everyone can finally be on the same page—literally.  
• Experience a better mobile Patch. We know you live on your smartphone—so we put everything you love about Patch in a smaller, more portable package.
• Share comments and photos more intuitively and much, much faster. 
• Turn any blog or opinion piece into a mini-community of interest, complete with followers of your very own. 

For a sneak peek, check out Long Beach (NY) Patch and let us know what you think. You can also ask any questions—large or small—by emailing Senior Regional Editor Elissa Bass at elissa@patch.com.

You can also register your interest in forming a group right when the new Vernon Patch launches here. We'll walk you through it!
