TimeBank Efficiency
-
Don't hesitate to respond to an offer or request. This is exactly how new sharing and relationships are built to strengthen our community.
-
Please respond in a timely manner to calls or emails you receive from your neighbours about the requests or offers you've posted.
-
After you've communicated with a neighbour and determined that a service exchange is appropriate, make specific arrangements (date and time) for the exchange.
-
Fulfil the exchange and save a record of it in your hour's account.
-
Come back and review offers and requests from other members.
Do this, again and again, to help keep our community alive and flourishing.
