Fun things in the City is the discussion board for everything that we as New Yorkers want to tell each other about. The posting I posted about added value benefits (in my opinion) the community, and therefor Zaadz. They do great work (just check link to their site), and sometimes need volunteers (also see volunteer board).

Since there is always a first posting to introduce what a specific discussion board is going to be about, I posted a first posting 'Fun in the City'. It has an introductory explanation what should be posted here. I just illustrated it with a 'New York Outing/ Brooklyn' illustration (added value operates in Red Hook).
