Patch Boards: An Easy Way to Instantly Connect with Your Riverdale Park and University Park Neighbors

By Richard Cook
One of the new features on Patch is "Boards."

Located at the top center of the Riverdale Park-University Park Patch home page, the "Boards" enable you to make an announcement, speak your mind, or sell something.

On the "All Boards" page, you can check out the latest posts from your neighbors or Patch local editor Richard Cook. You can also select a specific board, depending on what interests you:

• On the "Announcements" Board, you'll see posts about support groups or lost pets.

• The "Buy, Sell, Trade" Board works just like a newspaper classifieds section. It's a great way to find what you want locally.

• The "Business Updates" Board provides local shop owners with a chance to reach out to customers, telling them about specials or store hour changes.

• The "Speak Out" Board gives your voice a forum. Disagree with your neighbor? Don't just stew over it; write about it. 

Think of Patch as the virtual town square, the community bulletin board, the school PA system, a place to share ideas and ask questions.
