Have you become a Greater Greater Washington supporter yet to help us afford our new Associate Editor? Michael Perkins has offered to make a Metro map hat for the first person to give $250 or more.

Can you become a “Greatest supporter” by contributing $250 for a year or $25 a month? If you’re the first one to do that after this post goes up, Michael will make you a hat to keep your head nice and warm! If you’re not the first, or if you can only afford to give us a smaller amount, you still will get the very warm feeling of supporting a website that provides you with a lot of thoughtful content and an engaged community to discuss it every day. Thank you for your support!
