Hi everyone, and welcome to Mehlville Patch. I'm Sarah Flagg, editor of the site.

My team of freelancers and I will be covering Mehlville's news, events, sports and entertainment.

We want Patch to make a difference in your life. You'll know about the new county ordinance, that string of car break-ins, the outcome of last night's basketball game or the new chef in town.

Staying true to the ethics of journalism, you'll only find unbiased and accurate news on Patch.  Opinions will stay in the opinion category.

Along with news, Patch has an events calendar. You and your family can see what's going on this weekend, as well as add your own events.

Patch's directory was hand-collected by writers and photographers and includes businesses, schools, churches and community organizations.

We want everyone to get involved in this online town square. Post announcements like birthdays and weddings, comment on stories or ask questions in the Q&A feature.

Find Mehlville Patch on Twitter and Facebook, and always feel free to e-mail or call me with any news tips, story ideas and feedback.
