Love Plum, Oakmont? Share Your Stories As A Patch Mayor

PLUM BOROUGH, PA - Do you think the Plum-Oakmont area is one of the best places in southwestern Pennsylvania? Do you sometimes feel that no one is sharing the good news in the community - the great new restaurant that just opened on Allegheny River Boulevard or that quirky new retailer on Route 286? Do you wish a platform existed to publicize the people and events that make these areas so special?

It does: The Patch Mayor Program.

This volunteer program allows those who love their communities a great way to share their enthusiasm and expertise on local happenings. Patch's reporters will continue to cover the neighborhood's big news, but will work with Mayors to give residents more of a voice on our sites.

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

• Post stories on Patch and social media to spread the word about charity events, local celebrations, civic issues, weather, new restaurants or businesses, and more.
• guide local conversations as the host of your Patch.
• reach your neighbors and fellow residents through daily newsletters.
• earn the recognition of your Patch community.

The ideal Patch Mayor is someone who is a civic-minded, sociable resident who's plugged into what people in the neighborhood are saying and doing, likes to write, is active on social media and wants to share the stories of his or her community.
