Patch Newsletter Reader Feedback

Help us make the newsletter better

We’ve been getting so much positive feedback about our newsletter that we’re starting to get a big head. Want to bring us back down to earth with some constructive feedback? If so, take our simple — and quick! — user survey. Your feedback will help us make sure we’re covering the kind of local news, events and scuttlebutt you really care about. And it will help us toward our goal of being an indispensable local resource and the last email you’d ever unsubscribe from.

We’d be so appreciative of your feedback that we’ll enter your email address in a drawing for a small mountain of Patch swag. You know you want that tote bag — so give it to us straight. Thank you!
