From Joel:
We heard a "tornado" was coming! so we stayed in the Social Room— all five PATB members who are also with the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship (UUFP) of Pottstown, who hosted the whole Time Bank at their facility in North Coventry— with wonderful dips, salads, and loads of desserts. We had a slew of kids in the playground (ages from 2-3 months to 14 years), running to and from the children's education rooms.
It was a wonderful celebration of the coming of summer and a new relationship between Phoenixville and Pottstown, via the Fellowship. Listen to the ideas and successful exchanges we overheard in conversations and in the go-round with the group to brainstorm ways to collaborate, expand and deepen our relationship:
· Create children's activity sessions over the summer, using the UUFP as home base! parents
with ideas can suggest the appropriate age for the activity they will lead
· Introduce Time Banking to the Pottstown clergy group to expand time banking in Pottstown
· Help Myra take furniture to the flea market
· Help one of our disabled children with a gardening project
· Help with the Dance coming up this fall
· Visit Lorraine and John's horse farm for riding (and "therapy")
· Start a food club -- cooking together
· High ladder work painting for Brad, our wonderful plumber
Two new families are joining as a result of this Social. Stay tuned! The Time Bank is expanding -- and we can't help it!
