During Hurricane Sandy, while some social networks provided a way for people to sell generators and rationed fuel at usurious prices, there was one New York based online community, Quentins Friends, that went into high gear as the go-to place for members appeals for help and offers of assistance today its overwhelmed with thanks for friends who came to the rescue of storm victims.

What these volunteers also bring, of course, is a big New York heart and a very practical approach to solving daunting problems. This community is amazing. Weve had so many Quentins Friends come out today to donate food, clothes and water for victims of Sandy.
Quentins Friends Founder Quentin English, himself a zone A evacuee (still waiting to return to his home along with his wife, seven year old daughter and 5 month old baby boy), observed:
"This is village-style online community vs. the possibly more self-serving social networking we see today its people actively seeking to help each other - Im here for you today and I know youll be there for me tomorrow."
Quentins Friends (http://www.quentinsfriends.com) is a private, invitation-only online community where members connect at events, and via the website around their practical, social, professional and cultural interests and needs. Based on the principle that our friends are people with whom we share certain values, all the members have made a commitment that, in all dealings with fellow members, they will respect and uphold the communitys core founding values: honesty, integrity, courtesy, respect, generosity, gratitude, positivity, open-mindedness, fun and a sense of humor(!).
