In the case of three Time Bank members, this expression only begins to touch on the positive circle of giving/receiving recently set into motion.
Christl, one of the first to join the Phoenixville Area Time Bank, has been baking delicious bio-dynamic bread as her contribution to earn time dollars. She had earned quite a few hours, some of which she generously donated for Kerry and Howard, who have experienced some challenges over the last year, including a serious illness. With ther family visiting for the holidays, there was not much time to prepare. Gratefully accepting Christl's Time Dollar gift, Kerry immediately put the call out for some assistance.
Even though this is a full and sometimes stressful time of year, John, a new member, quickly responded. He provided the services needed just in time to ensure the tasks needing attention in Kerry and Howard's home would be tackled before their family arrives.
Christl offers her wonderful homemade bread. She has also given extra hours for those members who, at times, are not able to earn Time Dollars, but, who, nevertheless, receive the help they need. John jumped right in to complete the circle, as well as to earn his own Time Dollars for future use.
This is just one of the stories that unfolds within the network of members who are making their own TimeDollarConnections. Tune in for more!
