Birthday Party Madness!

On Friday, November 30th, the Time Bank celebrated its First Birthday at Contois Auditorium! Over fifty people attended the bash, including 19 non-members who signed up to join! There was food (delicious soups, pasta, bread, and of course birthday cake), live music and games! Woot woot!

The party was a great way to connect new members to old members as well as to spark interest in the community about the Time Bank. I'm excited to see what services these "newbies" will be offering!

MOVIE MANIA!

This Wednesday, November 7 at 6:30 PM the Burlington Time Banks will be showing the movie Money As Debt. Please click on the link to learn more about this amazing (also short--47 minutes) movie that discusses economics, US currency and other relevant topics.

After the movie there will be a short discussion.

This movie will NOT be shown on TV...if you'd like to see it please come to CCTV at 294 North Winooski Avenue! And this is NOT a time bank members only thing....so please feel free to bring your friends!

Our First Timebank Party - A Success!

On February 11th we had our first Old North End Timebank Party. We'll have a video up here detailing all of the excitement. Some highlights include: a silent auction of rambling proportions (we had cookbooks and microwaves and hand knitted hats and original artwork and dolphin lamps); time dollars exchanges happening right before our eyes (there were some babysitting and bread baking arrangements made that would not have otherwise happened); and vegan nachos (with homemade vegan cheese that had us dreaming of marketing and selling it to earn money for our timebank).

All in all, we earned $47 for our Timebank from the Silent Auction, ate yummy food, and made new friends. Thank you to all of you who came and contributed to a wonderful Sunday afternoon. We look forward to doing it again some time soon. Anyone interested in hosting?
