"Patch” rounds up recent standout blog posts from Local Voices bloggers.

Want to get your officemates or community organization together to help them learn more about Patch? Let us know.
This week, Patch editors had the pleasure of meetng dozens of people from around St. Louis, on top of the many, many more who we interact with on a daily basis as we bring news from around Arnold straight to you. A few weeks ago, we met with staff at the Donald Danforth Plant Science Center as they ate cake and celebrated June birthdays. People signed up for our newsletter and got some Patch gear in the process. A day later, Patch editors from around St. Louis converged on Kirkwood to sponsor an evening with members of the Social Media Club of St. Louis. What great fun to connect with people in person who you "see" so often on Facebook or Twitter. We'd love to do more of the same with you or your organization. We're all ears! Email arnold@…
