Since I am still a newbie and doesn't have the enough knowledge to join the discussions. I was just sitting, listening to the other member's discussion and just asking questions in things that I haven't properly understand.
The Open Discussion adjourned at around 12:15 am of April 15, 2018.
Project Initiation
Let us all remember that Teenvestors is not built to mainly promote our posts. This is also one way of connecting to OUR COMMUNITY. We want our Discord Channel as lively as possible that is the reason why we have initiated this project.
In addition, we also want to help each Cebuano Steemians as much as we can do. Since, we are still drafting our possible project Weekly Small Team/Group Meet-up, initiates this one as premiere activity.
With the establishment of this activity and of more activities, we are hoping to come up with a sustainable and firm Cebu Steemit Community.
