You are a part of a social experiment created by a fellow Irvington resident that is seeking to solve the problem in our communities of social isolation and its accompanying deleterious effects on mental, emotional, and physical health. Not to mention the healthy functioning of a society.
There are a number of costs associated with this project in which the plan is to manage them with advertising revenues. Full disclosure about the financials are available upon request. This project is started with an outlay of thousands of dollars with the hope of breaking even with advertising dollars in the future. This is an experiment. It’s a risk that seems worth it to take steps to solve some of the problems that currently face us.
