Romeo’s tip of the week: Get Involved in Your Community

Posts by Romeo, the little black dog.

Hi everyone!

This week has been a good week for me and alot of my human pals and others across this great country we live in. This week many of you voted to re-elect the President of the United States. Congratulations to EVERYONE that exercised your right to vote. Something some may not realize is that no matter which box you filled in on your ballot, it’s actually your responsibility to vote. It’s amazing what some had to go through to cast their vote with all the recent destruction from hurricane Sandy. We have so many remarkable human beings in this country. Everyone can play a part in the care of our nation. Young or old, two-legged or four-legged, we have responsibilities to each other.

I try to do my part by being a good and loving pet to my momma. I let her know when I need to go out, and I don’t tear up her things. When I see she’s feeling sad I try to comfort her. Everyone can do little things to make their community a better place. I’m thankful for good neighbors and friends and the leaders in our country.

My tip this week: get involved in your community. You can make a BIG difference even by doing something small.

Just a short thought to get the word out quickly about anything in your neighborhood.
Share something with your neighbors. Write a new post... What's up? Make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something

I'll be a bit more direct than Jerry. The new site is a mess. Visually it's extremely cluttered.Read More It's slow, very slow. There appear to be no RSS feeds, a major negative. Following a few links sometimes sends you to a different community's Patch site. And what happened with the editing staff. Unless I missed something, suddenly there are new editors without any warning. No matter what the circumstances, normally such a move would be accompanied by an announcement of some sort. Venice may be the greatest editor ever, but it looks like she is splitting her time among several Patch sites, so the odds are stacked against her. Her "latest activities" list even suggests that she is editing a Patch site down in the San Francisco Bay area. With all due respect, Patch sites should be hyper-local, and the best route to that is a local (i.e. Mercer Islander) editor.

The Jury is still out. I liked the "Old Patch". J
