Like any organisation Wairarapa TimeBank needs a steering committee to guide it. Unfortunately those that started out have been unable to carry on but maybe willing to rejoin when others are also keen.

Interesting Time-based currency in Amsterdam
This interesting Time-based currency in Amsterdam seems to have a
far wider scope than that achieved in Timbanks elsewhere.
The Makkie is a reward scheme in the
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.
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.

Wairarapa Green Dollars and TimeBank join each other.
Wairarapa TimeBank has just become a member of the Wairarapa Green Dollar Exchange. 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.
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 will benefit. 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.
