New in the neigh*borrow-hood!

Hello fellow neigh*borrow-ers! My name is Dave Tomback and I am a co-founder of neigh*borrow. I recently came on board full-time and will be dedicating my time and effort to growing neigh*borrow.

I firmly believe that the website can play a significant role in helping us all save money, conserve our planet's precious resources, strengthen our communities and create new, lasting friendships with our neighbors.

I hope this blog will be a useful tool for letting everyone know about new developments in the neigh*borrow-hood and for communicating with our growing community of neigh*borrow-ers. See you around the block...I mean blog!
