Macomb Patch is all about making local connections and strengthening our community.

That's why we're inviting local, small business owners, marketing managers or anyone interested in learning more about Patch, to join the Patch Happy Hour Networking Event June 6 at the Tavern at Tina's, 50870 North Ave., Macomb, MI 48042.

From 4 to 6 p.m., we cordially invite you to have a snack, relax with a drink and introduce yourself to your neighbors. 

Also, you'll have a chance to learn a little more about Patch, our mission, and how we can help you grow your business. There are many free tools the community can access through Patch. We want to teach you how to leverage those opportunities.

Also, since we're in the online business we've gotten pretty good at harnessing the power of social media. If you have any questions about Patch, social media or just want to meet some local business owners, you'll find the Patch Happy Hour Network very useful.

The Tavern will be providing light snacks for participants and there will be a discount on all drinks, as it is Happy Hour. Wednesday is also Italian Night at the Tavern, so you may want to make plans to stay after to enjoy your favorite homemade Italian dishes.

Please RSVP on the Patch Happy Hour Networking Event page on Facebook, or email Macomb Patch Editor, Jenny Whalen, at jenny.whalen@patch.com.
