Every week, Elmhurst Patch lists dozens of announcements that are posted by the public, and sometimes by the editor, about things you need to know.

New announcements show up all the time, about classes, business awards, special deals, student achievement, seminars, contests, park district activities and more.

Announcements are not the most obvious content on Patch, so we want to bring them to the forefront from time to time, just to make sure you don't miss anything. And, our deepest thanks to everyone who posts this valuable information.

For anyone who is thinking of posting an announcement, it couldn't be easier. Simply log in to Elmhurst Patch with your e-mail address, scroll to the bottom of the home page, where you'll find the "Contribute" box. Click on "Announce something to everyone" and then fill in the blanks. It's that simple.
