Lake County >> The Time Bank of Thrive Lake County will hold an informational meeting at Jellystone Park on Saturday from 4 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. On-site babysitting may be available by a Time Bank member, with advance request.
The Time Bank of Thrive Lake County began about four years ago, and has grown to 465 members with over 12,000 hours exchanged. Time banking communities have formed around the world. Members connect in practical ways and get necessary services, exchanging time instead of money. Every hour is valued the same, regardless of the service performed.
The Cobb event will feature fun and interactive activities designed to help new members get started, learn more, and keep current members going with time banking. The formal session will be followed by a potluck and social. Everyone is welcome.
The new Time Bank Special Events group will meet following the formal session. This group consists of vendors, musicians, technical support, event planners and site staff, i.e. anyone who would like to use or earn credits through their participation at community events associated with the Time Bank. At the meet up this month, the group is inviting Time Bank members new and old to assist with a rock concert planned for June 13 at Jellystone Park.
Time Bank membership is open to any Lake County resident, business or organization.
