Travel To Madison
Madison is a great place to visit! One of only a few cities in the world built on an isthmus, Madison has become a destination mecca for national and international meetings and conferences, offering both small town charm and a range of cultural and recreational opportunities usually found in much larger cities. Voted the Friendliest City in the Midwest, Madison sports the best of all worlds with incredible natural beauty, limitless outdoor recreation activities year-round, an amazing array of cultural opportunities, fabulous shopping, and superb dining. Downtown Madison, set on a narrow strip of land between two glacial lakes, is very pedestrian-friendly, and within walking distance of the Concourse Hotel. Read more about travel and lodging.
We’re opening a large family childcare center for the Hispanic and Anglo community in Eugene, with a Time Bank and job incubation and training, and lots of other services. We’re just getting started. So we need everything! I would especially be interested in knowing what the Hispanic community’s response is to time banking and what is the best way to present it there.
My goal is to create a network of timebank across the state of Michigan, so I would like to get as many best practices from a wide variety of kinds of timebanks as possible. Our is a neighbor to neighbor timebank, so I’m especially learning about timebanks within organizations and within rural areas.
