Patch Boards: An Easy Way to Instantly Connect with Your Millbrae Neighbors

One of the new features on Patch is "Boards."

Located at the top center of the Millbrae 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 Mayra Flores De Marcotte. You can also select a specific board, depending on what interests you:

• On the "Announcements" Board, you'll see posts like this one about garage around town.

• The "Buy, Sell, Trade" Board works just like a newspaper classifieds section. It's a great way to find what you want locally, such as this information on a Playstation 3 for sale.

• The "Business Updates" Board provides local shop owners with a chance to reach out to customers, telling them about specials or store hour changes, or newly established businesses, such as this childcare facility.

• The "Speak Out" Board gives your voice a forum. Disagree with your neighbor? Don't just stew over it; write about it. You can also engage your neighbors -- like this poster did when they shared an online petition on a local school issue.
