Brighton Patch and Hartland Patch are all about making local connections and strengthening our community. So keeping that in mind, we're hosting our first Nonprofit Meetup at 3 p.m. Wednesday at the Brighton District Library.

Anyone involved in a local nonprofit, including charities, churches and more, is invited to attend to learn more about Patch, our mission and how we can help promote the great work you're doing in the community. There are many free tools the community can access through Patch and we want to teach you how to leverage those opportunities.

The event will start at 3 p.m. in the A/B meeting room at the library. Staff members will be able to direct you to the proper place and the event should run about one hour.

Please RSVP through this link, so we can anticipate how many people we can expect. Light refreshments will be provided.

You can also RSVP via our Facebook event page. We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions about the meetup, please email Brighton Patch Editor Nicole Krawcke or Hartland Patch Editor Tatum Ryan.
