Patch 101: Follow these Steps to Add Calendar Events

Part of Matawan-Aberdeen Patch is our events calendar. We add upcoming events as we hear about them, but we don't know about everything going on in the community.

So we need your help. If your church is having its annual picnic, let us know. If your son's soccer team is holding a fundraiser to raise money for new uniforms, tell us where to go to help. There's room for bake sales, yard sales, school events, concerts, lectures, government meetings, fairs and more in our calendar.

Follow these steps to learn how to add your event, and help us fill our calendar.

1. Select "Post Your Event" at the bottom of the calendar displayed on the home page.
2. Give your event a title. IE: Comedy Night at the St. Clement
3. Enter a date and time for the event.
4. Either search for a location in the "Where" spot, or enter the address of the event.
5. Add a description letting the community know what the event is for, who can come and anything else you think is relevant.
6. Choose a category for the event.
7. You can add a link to the website, contact information, price and a ticket website, but it isn't necessary to post the event.
8. Click "Post My Event," and it will show up on the events calendar shortly.

If you include a photo, your event will most likely be featured on the homepage! Whether it's a snapshot from a previous event of your group or a photo of your church, we would love to see it.
