FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Press Release
Battenkill Time Traders Harvest Pie Social

Battenkill Time Traders(the time bank for Southern Washington County region), is hosting a Community Harvest Social featuring homemade pies, on Sunday, October 16th at 4 p.m. at the VFW at 63 Abeel Avenue in Greenwich. Bring your favorite pie to share,or just come for an afternoon of getting to know your neighbors, enjoying great pies, and learning a little bit about time banking and how it can improve your life and your neighborhood.

This first Battenkill Time Traders Social provides an opportunity for members, and anyone curious about the time bank concept, to get to know neighbors, visit with friends,and meet others interested in trading knowledge and skills.
Sunday’s event will feature home baked pies, cider and coffee. Bringing a pie (or other dessert) to the event earns the baker one hour’s credit in the time bank. That hour can then be traded with other members for help with things of interest to the baker.

Time trading, sometimes called time banking, is a trading system that values everyone's contributions equally, hour for hour. For every hour of service given to any member a participant earns one hour, which can be traded for one hour of services from any other member of the time bank. Wide-ranging options for exchange are based on a member’s skills and needs – things like driving an elder to an appointment, knitting lessons, or memoir editing, for example.

The VFW is handicapped accessible, and there will be a crafts table for children.
Everyone is welcome.
