March 1 Tip: Read LEO cover story about "Time Banking"

Read the cover story in this week's LEO about "Time Banking" in Louisville
(the March 1 Compassionate Living Tip from Interfaith Paths to Peace)

Time-banking is a community-based expansion of the basic concept of bartering, driven by the “time dollar,” a unit of social currency invented by Edgar S. Cahn, a lifelong social justice advocate.
Instead of trading goods and services, members of time-bank organizations trade their time. Every hour is referred to as a “time dollar.” Once earned in service to the organization or any member, time dollars can be traded for an hour of service from any other member of the group.
