1). Create an Event

• Our Events section has a bunch of things going on in the community. You'll find everything from town meetings and after-school activities to plays and fundraisers.

2). Post an Announcement

• Our Announcement section is a great place to make the Acton community aware of really anything you deem important.

3). Blog

• Join our Local Voices and blog about anything you want. Write as much or as little as you want and as often or a little as you want. If you already have a blog on a different site, feature it here for more readers and bring people back to your site. 

4). Business Directory

• Our Patch Business Directory is an easy place to see what types of local businesses are in the community. Local business owners: , hop online and add photos, menus and promotions, and reach out to your customers and respond to ratings and reviews today.
