Would you like to get to know your Timebanking neighbours better, or simply find out who they are?!
Social events are a great way to connect and network, and even if you don't set up a Timebank exchange there and then just from having chatted to someone can help you know who to ask directly when you need a hand.
Our social events are usually pot luck, with the host providing any hot drinks. Worried about the clean-up afterwards? We can put out a request for someone to help out with that, or setting up if you need to move things around or get to those things in high up cupboards that you don't use very often!
Turn out can vary hugely from a handful to a houseful; if you feel that you'd rather have a smaller event that's fine, they can often be better for getting to know your closer Timebanking neighbours, and have conversations that include everyone at the same time. There's no fixed time or day, so if you'd rather do a Morning or Afternoon tea than a lunch or early evening meal that's just fine, you don't even have to hold it at your own home, you can suggest a local park or beach for a picnic - these are particularly popular with families, just keep an eye on the weather forecast!
If you'd like to make it an event where a coordinator gives a short talk about Timebanking to your friends and whānau who are interested we can do that too. If any of this sounds like something you'd be keen to do contact your Local Coordinator is you have one, or Paula Walker on paula.tttimebank@gmail.com if you live in Whangaroa-Kerikeri, Te Pēwhairangi/BOI, or Kaikohe-Hokianga. They'll help you gets something set up and publicised at a level you're comfortable with.
