Story: The East End Time Dollar Exchange is a network, a community of people. Once I went into the East End Time Banks office to get a haircut from Robin, the Coordinator.
They happened to be preparing a mailing, so after my haircut I earned my Time Dollar back by putting address labels on envelopes. While I was doing that, another member came in and mentioned he was looking for a bicycle. I told him I had one I had been thinking about selling. The next day, I sold him my bicycle for 2 ½ Time Dollars. That’s how it works. People helping people.
