3 Reasons To Be Lake View Patch Mayor

CHICAGO, IL — Do you sometimes feel no one is tooting a horn about the Lake View neighborhood? Wish YOU had a platform to sing the praises of people and events that make the neighborhood special? If you love your community, become a Patch Mayor and the voice of the Lake View Patch.

As a Patch Mayor, you'll be able to:

• spread the word to your neighbors and fellow residents about about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, big games, that great new store or restaurant in Lake View, people worth knowing — and more — through your articles
• guide local conversations as the host of the Lake View Patch
• reach your neighbors and fellow residents through daily newsletters and Facebook
• earn the recognition of the Lake View Patch community

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 or town 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.
