SWEL Timebank meeting Tuesday, June 5 in Third Place Commons

Friday, May 18, 2012



The June SWEL (Shoreline Woodway Edmonds Lynnwood) Timebank meeting will be held on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 at 7 pm at Lake Forest Park's Third Place Commons, located at 17171 Bothell Way NE, in Lake Forest Park. 

The Commons is on the upper level of the Towne Centre, adjacent to Third Place Books 

Previous events have been potlucks of one kind or the other, but rather than  compete with the wonderful food vendors located in the Commons, we encourage you to patronize their businesses or eat before or after the orientation at home. 
Timebanking is an organized system of sharing services, where a central organization keeps track of time spent working for others.

There are over 100 successful timebanks in the United States, including the Eastside Timebank, which serves the cities of Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue.  Timebanks use a low overhead, self-organizing internet based system to help people exchange their talents and passions with other members so that they can enjoy the necessities and niceties of life.  Read more.


If you are interested in joining the SWEL Timebank, bring these three items:

  1.     A completed application (found on our website)
  2.     Picture ID
  3.     Phone numbers for two personal references

How do timebanks work? 
An hour you spend doing something for a SWEL Timebank member goes into the bank as one time hour. You can then use this time hour having another SWEL member do something for you. 

Timebanking is different than bartering because you can provide a service to one member and receive a service from someone else. All services are tax-exempt, and each hour of service is of equal value.

SWEL stands for Shoreline,  Woodway, Edmonds, Lake Forest Park

What are timebanks?

There are over 100 successful timebanks in the United States, including the Eastside Timebank, which serves the cities of Kirkland, Redmond, and Bellevue. Timebanks use a low overhead, self-organizing internet based system to help people exchange their talents and passions with other members so that they can enjoy the necessities and niceties of life.

In addition to our generous volunteers, SWEL is possible because of a generous grant from the United Way of King County and help from the Eastside Timebank and Senior Services' Aging Your Way initiative.

How do timebanks work?

An hour you spend doing something for a SWEL Timebank member goes into the bank as one time hour. You can then use this time hour having another SWEL member do something for you.

Join us on November 9th and find out how timebanks can strengthen our communities.
See you there!
