Announcement threads on forumhome

[apfparadise]

hey guys

Wondering if there is a way (must be) to put individual announcements on the forum home. Maybe w/a hidden announcement folder, but all you see is a section above your forum called Announcements, and they just sit there as threads on the forum home only, to be clicked and read. I am sure there is an obvious way to do so, but I am new so I have not found it.

Thanks, in advance, for your help
