A community Calendar and community guide for Brooklyn. Thoughts on joining events on the same page.  Questions were asked about how to send info to these organizations so that everyone can help/benefit from cross promotion.  Need more stuff for kids at the Labor event was brought up.  Levi made several ideas and conversations as to what could be.  Brit, and Ann mentioned ideas of how to get partnered on events.  Levi suggested to setup a meeting around September 2016 for all organizations to meet up.  Levi also mentioned about having events the same weekend as other events so that there is more of a draw to Brooklyn, rather than pockets of events spread out.  Ann mentioned about having an appreciation event and Brit also mentioned that was a good idea in 2018, Levi suggested it could be done in 2017.
