Looking for an alternative economy? Need a ride to the airport, help
with your garden or a massage? This workshop will talk about time
banking - exchanging services based on time - and tell you all about the
Time Trade Circle (<span>TTC</span>),
a local time bank with 800+ members all over the greater metro-Boston
and Eastern-Mass area. The workshop will explain how to join if you are
interested, and forms will be available. I'll explain how time banking
is different from bartering, how our local Time Trade Circle time bank
works, what kinds of services people trade, and how members participate through their online account. <a href="http://www.timetradecircle.org/" target="_blank">www.TimeTradeCircle.org</a><br><b style="color:rgb(255, 0, 0)">Learn more and RSVP:</b><b> </b><a href="http://www.sojust.org/events/17664391/" target="_blank">http://www.sojust.org/events/17664391/</a><b> </b>(bring your own dinner)</p>

Bring your favorite outdoor game or check out the assortment of fun
we'll have on hand: Frisbees, kickball & chalk (for 4-square!), jump
rope, basketball, softball (bring a glove) and whatever other
randomness we can think of. If it's hot we can run through the fountain
sprinkler to cool off. Around 1pm, we'll likely get out of the heat by
going to Ula Cafe for lunch. So look no further if you want to cross-promote your events and
campaigns while perfecting your Frisbee forehand, you're seeking
like-minded progressives to hang out with in Boston, or are new to the
area and looking for groups to get involved in. <br>
