Welcome to Coventry Patch!
I'm Lauren Costa, Editor of Coventry Patch. I've been a resident of the town since I was 8 years old and am so excited that I can finally give back to the community that I call home.
Patch is series of hyperlocal news and information sites, spread out across the country. From school committee meetings to festivals in town to the opening of a new business and everything in between, Patch will be there ready to report.
We all have busy schedules and Patch is here to help make it easier for locals to stay updated on events around town.
Here's an overview of what you'll find on our website:
The Directory
Our listings include profiles on everything Coventry, from churches to parks to schools to restaurants, etc. We also include maps and photos of most businesses in our listings section.
Events and Announcements
Our events calendar will be your source for everything that is happening in the town of Coventry. It'll include everything from club meetings to recreation events and programs, and so much more. Our events team does a great job, but we can always use your help, so feel free to upload events to Coventry Patch. Our announcements section is a great way for you to share important accomplishments or life events with your community. Did your child get a school award? Did you just get promoted? Do you want to thank someone for lending you a hand? Post it on our announcements page and let everyone know!
News
Our news section will feature stories about topics such as politics, schools, sports and business. My reporters and I will be all over Coventry, learning the news, covering events and getting to know the community. We plan to tell these stories in printed form and using multimedia, so photos and videos will accompany much of the content you see on our site.
We want the Coventry community to be a part of making our site even better. We want to help local organizations by publicizing their news and helping them recruit volunteers, which can be done through our site's volunteer section. Upload events and announcements, tell us about community groups you're involved in and, as always, feel free to send us news tips and story ideas. We're also looking for local writers, videographers and columnists, so email me at lauren.costa@patch.com if you want to contribute.
I look forward to serving Coventry and meeting its residents!
