Mingle With the Patch Editors and Writers Tonight

Come on over and meet the people who bring you your Patch! Families are welcome. No need to RSVP (unless you're a Patch writer, we'll add you to the list below.)

Doug Kriegel from Sherman Oaks, Craig Clough from North Hollywood/Toluca Lake, Anna King taking over for Lauren Rosenblum for Encino, Mike Szymanski of Studio City, Saul Daniels of Chatsworth and many others are expected to come. Those are just the editors!

Most of the Patches in the San Fernando Valley are turning one year old around this time of the year, and we are inviting all the people we've written about, and people we've yet to write about to come over and meet us all in person.

Next Monday evening, Sept. 26, come over to from 5:30 p.m. to 10 p.m. for a no-host public event to meet the people who put together Patch. There will be light food provided, but the full menu of The Federal will be available for purchase upstairs.

Stay tuned for who will be there for sure, but we will invite all the columnists, editors and bloggers from the local Patches.
