Love Georgetown? Share Your Stories By Becoming A Patch Mayor

The Patch Mayor program is recruiting local residents to let their neighbors know about events and issues in Georgetown.

GEORGETOWN, DC — Do you sometimes feel no one is tooting a horn for Georgetown? Do you wish you had a platform to sing the praises of people and events that make your community special? If you love Georgetown and think it should get just as much attention as the other DC neighborhoods, sign up to become a Patch Mayor.

Here are 3 reasons why you should sign up:

  1. Use Patch and our Facebook and Twitter pages to spread the word about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, weather, high school sports, new restaurants or businesses and more.
  2. Spark and guide local conversations as the host of Georgetown Patch about what's happening nearby — be it a lost pet or a controversial issue.
  3. You'll be published on Patch, reaching thousands of your neighbors and people in Georgetown.

The ideal candidate is a civic-minded, sociable resident who's plugged into what people in town are saying and doing, who likes to write, is active on social media and who wants to share the stories of his or her neighborhood and guide community conversation. A Patch Mayor is a trusted contributor who's curious about the people, places, events and news that make a place unique.
