New Years Greetings From the Folks at the Olivette Patch

A little something for everyone. Even a Harold Stassen political button.

As the tradition goes, one of the Patch editors gets the privilege of passing out New Years greetings. This tradition goes all the way back to 2010 when Patch first arrived in St. Louis.

The Olivette Patch is coming upon its 6 month anniversary.

New Years greetings to the 7,800 residents who proudly call it home, and the thousands who arrive each day for work.
