Enter MyCoop. \u00a0Having been invited to MyCoop by mutual friends , they posted their first \u201cbook of the month\u201d pick and followed up with online discussions. Eventually, fellow readers began meeting in person at local coffee shops and at nearby independent bookstore, Hullabaloo.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMyCoop gave us a way to meet people online in a neighborhood where we didn\u2019t yet know anyone, and made it easier to make new friends who share some of our same interests,\u201d said Alfonso.<\/p>\n<p>Dan and Alfonso found it easy to register their MyCoop account, start discussions and connect with others, but they also continued to discover other features. \u201cWe scheduled our first \u2018formal\u2019 event and just put it in the Marketplace and then asked our friends to direct people there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><i><strong>Note<\/strong>:\u00a0 Here at MyCoop we are always happy to hear stories from members about how the platform is helping members connect with neighbors and make new friends.
