[CRNMC] Time for Action - How About a Time Bank?

[Tammy Davis]

Hello All,

Thank you Tim for your positive feedback to my 12/26 comments. It is 
feedback like yours and that which I received from 3 other folks that 
keeps me going!

I would like to share this info about a *transitionus webinar 
<http://transitionus.org/event/re-weaving-local-transition-towns-timebanking>* 
that took place on 1/20 about *Time-Banking* 
<http://timebanks.org/get-started/start/> and the newly formed *Time 
Bank Media site <http://timebankmedia.org/>* from *Transition Town Media 
<http://transitiontownmedia.org/>*. Though I highly recommend taking a 
look at all 3 of the sites linked here, I think starting a Time Bank 
here on the coast would be an excellent way for us to get moving forward 
to building social capital within our communities, and therefore 
becoming less dependent on the corporations we are working to abolish.

I am right now perusing the enormous amount of information provided by 
these new resources but I am specifically interested in being a 
coordinator for a local time bank. Therefore, I am looking for people 
who are interested in joining me in a start-up group. I also would like 
to engage some young people, including high school students, in this 
project and perhaps encourage them to start some projects of their own. 
Suggestions on any of these ideas would be greatly appreciated.

To find out more about starting a Time Bank, go to both of the Time Bank 
sites linked above - /
timebanks.org <http://timebanks.org/get-started/start/>/ and 
/timebankmedia.org <http://timebankmedia.org/>/

More useful information can be found on these sites:
Community Currency Knowledge Gateway <http://community-currency.info/en/>
Governance is Life: Organizational Governance for the Next Economy

Everything we need to begin creating the change we wish to see in the 
world is available to us. Information about  literally anything is at 
our fingertips, and there are some outstanding model projects out there 
from which to model or glean ideas.

Peace,
Tammy
