<br />
<b>New software.</b><br />
We have decided to use <a href="https://wairarapa.timebanks.org/" target="_blank">Community Weaver 3</a> on-line software. New members are welcome to Join the site and existing members will also need to re-join on the new site.<br />
<br />
<b>Free membership for the rest of 2015.</b><br />
We also decided to waiver the joining fee for the rest of the year. There is no annual subscription and the once-only fee was usually $10/$15.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-953819678607563951.post-41271240028384692892015-08-25T09:41:00.000+12:002015-08-25T09:41:12.734+12:00TimeBank founder to visit Wairarapa!<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

<br />
This is an amazing opportunity for people in Wairarapa to meet Prof Cahn.<br />
TimeBanking is a way of giving and receiving to build supportive networks<br />
and strong communities. One hour helping another earns one TimeBank Hour<br />
TimeBanking builds on the magic of “pay it forward,” one good turn leading<br />
to another and another.<br />
<br />
Widely known as the father of timebanking, Professor Cahn is in NZ for The<br />
Lyttelton Harbour Timebank's 10th birthday - which is celebrating the start of<br />
Timebanking in NZ and making a special trip to the Wairarapa!<br />
<br />
A self declared humanitarian from birth, Edgar Cahn has dedicated his life to fighting injustice and<br />
poverty. Timebanks are now found in more than 34 countries, with over 600 Timebanks<br />
operating in the US and Britain alone. <br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-size: 10pt;">This interesting Time-based currency in Amsterdam seems to have a

Makassarsquare neighbourhood, part of the Amsterdam East District. The purpose
of De Makkie is to empower local people,
to encourage them to take an active role
in their community and to improve liveability in the Makassarsquare neighbourhood.</span></span></span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="color: navy; font-size: x-small;"><span style="color: navy; font-size: 10pt;">Local
residents are rewarded with Makkies when they actively
contribute to their neighbourhood or when helping
out their neighbours on the request of the municipality,
housing corporations, welfare
institutions or professional
organisations. It includes for example: cleaning
public space, doing the housekeeping
for an elderly
person, or helping to organise a local
event. Makkies can be redeemed for goods and services at local shops and organisations such as free entrance to
the cinema, museum, or swimming pool,
a significant rebate at local independent traders or a free subscription at the library. Participants of the scheme are encouraged
to trade among themselves as well. For
example, babysitting or
administrative help. As a rule, one Makkie equals
the value of one hour of work.</span></span></span></div>

This will allow us to tap into the great range of goods, skills and services that the exchange offers and also enable us to pay for this using their virtual currency. The Exchange has been operating locally for well over 20 years and with their resources now more available to us our TimeBank should benefit greatly.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">The Green Dollar Exchange has also just become a member of our TimeBank. We are confident that by being members of each others group both organisations </span><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">will benefit</span>. Also as most of our current members are also members of Green Dollars mutual membership will add other options of exchange especially where goods are concerned.</span><br />

While CES (Community Exchange System) was more comprehensive and easier to administrate most members preferred the cleaner, simpler and less cluttered CW (Community Weaver).</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The accounts on CES will shortly be locked so all exchanges can only be entered on Community Weaver. CW costs US$25 per year to use and it is hoped the cover this with either sponsorship or joining fees.</span><br />

Timebanks from across the country held a national hui. Stuart McKay
attended on behalf of the Wairarapa Timebank.<br />
<br />
“It was great to hear what others were doing, and benefit from their
experience,” he said. “Timebanking brings out those in a community who
like to get involved. A Wairarapa Timebank has the potential to be a
great resource to Wairarapa organisations who work closely with
volunteers.”</span><br />

<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“I thought
Timebanking was primarily a way for people to meet one another’s
needs, with community building a nice spin-off, but now I think it’s
the other way around,” commented one of the people who came along
to a packed public meeting on Timebanking held at the Carterton
Events Centre.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Wellington
Timebank coordinator Hannah Mackintosh and steering committee member
Renee Rushton spoke to the meeting about how the Wellington Timebank
started from a back office with an ancient computer, no pens and no
paper to today’s vibrant group of 175 members.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“A
Timebank is defined by who you are as people in your community,”
explained Hannah. “It’s a journey and you have no idea how you’re
going to get there, it really is about finding out about who is
interested and just calling them up and getting it going.”</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">The
enthusiastic response from the meeting would suggest that there is a
groundswell of support behind forming a Timebank in the Wairarapa.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“A year
before the Wellington Timebank was formed there was a process where
the steering committee built the idea of a Timebank in the community.
They held public meetings and workshops explaining to the community
what a Timebank was,” added Hannah.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This process
has already begun in the Wairarapa, with the formation of an initial
steering committee made up of Hayden McGrail (Wairarapa Green
Dollar), Stephanie Young (Living Economies), Stuart McKay
(Mangatarere Restoration Society) and Catherine Rossiter-Stead
(Pukaha Volunteer Programme).</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><b>The committee held its
inaugural meeting last week to discuss the way forward, with its
first steps centred on researching how other Timebanks in New Zealand
operate. </b>Two members of the Wairarapa community have already
offered to purchase the ‘Community Weaver’ software that helps to
keep track of members and their banked time.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Strengthening
a sense of community and inspiring respect for each other and the
environment is embodied in Timebank Aotearoa’s
mission statement. There are currently 26 Timebanks operating in New
Zealand and the momentum is gathering as people search for
alternative ways of making contributions to society.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span lang="en-AU">Edgar
S. Cahn, the creator of Timebanking, explains how Timebanks weave a
community one hour at a time: “</span><b>For every hour you spend
doing something for someone in your community, you earn one Time
Dollar. Then you have a Time Dollar to spend on having someone do
something for you. It's that simple.”</b></span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This was
clearly demonstrated by Hannah when she recreated a Timebank tree,
showing some of the inter-connections which hold Wellington’s
175-strong Timebank community together. “You can really see how
connections start to be made within the community and <b>how much
people start to get to know one another </b>and link together.
People love the fact that it’s based on give and take, as well as
equality. We need our community and people can get that through the
Timebank.</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
</span></div>
<div align="JUSTIFY" lang="en-AU" style="margin-bottom: 0cm;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">“Timebanks
have just grown so much in New Zealand and I think a lot of that has
come out of Lyttelton, where they demonstrated so strongly the impact
a Timebank can have, especially in a crisis situation,” summarised
Hannah. “The Christchurch earthquake was a terrible tragedy, and
what we learned from that was the importance of community in a time
of crisis. The people of Lyttelton demonstrated the spirit and
resilience of community and the Timebank was a key part of that.”</span></div>
