Some of you already know about the time bank, but to increase awareness here's a quick blurb:
"Our Time Bank (OTB) is a community of people living and working in the Culver City, Palms and Mar Vista area who support each other by bartering time. For every hour a member helps another member, they earn a Timebank Hour. Then members can use that Timebank Hour to receive help from someone else. Please click here to learn how to join OTB.
Our Time Bank potluck and orientation:
New member orientation at 2:00 p.m. and potluck at 3:00 p.m.
Please be sure to bring your own plates, cups and utensils – and a dish to share if you’d like to receive time bank hours."
It really is a cool idea. More info at
