   Hello,
   I would appreciate information about finding a room to stay in at one of your members’ homes while I attend the conference in June.

   Thanks for helping.

   hi Kate
   Did you attend the last TBUSA conference in Madison?

   If you did, you will know that members of the Dane County Timebank offered accommodation in their homes for Time Dollars. It meant that out-of-towners who could not stretch to paying for a hotel on top of registration and travel would have somewhere to stay. It was a great idea that came out of the Dane County Timebank and it worked beautifully.

   However, it does mean you will need Time Dollars that you have earned — either in a local Time Bank or by helping out with the conference.

   We still need to get this set up for the current conference. We have not started listing the Dane County members who will be willing to do this, and we do not know what the supply of accommodation will be at this point — so we’ll have to get back to you when we have details in hand.

   Thanks for your interest!
   Chris

   I am looking for a place to stay during the conference, and I would love to do the same for anyone visiting the Los Angeles area.
   Best wishes,

   Greetings! I am hoping to attend the conference in June and would very much appreciate a home to stay in while I am there. We are a very new time bank and have very little cash flow at this point. I will be funding my trip out of my own money and would very much appreciate not having to pay for the hotel… I am looking forward to hearing from you!

   I would love to stay with a Timebank member, too! Great idea. I have plenty of Timebank hours in the bank and will be helping at the conference as well.

   I would also do the same for timebankers visiting the Detroit, MI area.

   Here’s what a past attendee said about staying with a TimeBank member:
   “I had arranged to stay with a Dane County Time Bank member in her home along with her two young sons when I went a couple of years ago…It was within walking distance of the conference. Having never flown in my life, that in itself was an experience, but more than the thrill of flying, the thrill of a gracious host city, Madison, was most certainly the prize. I have forever made a new friend and connection, Christie, the woman I stayed with, and met the folks that make time banking a reality not only for Cape Ann but worldwide.”

   Hi –

   We on Cape Ann are trying to drum up 5 people to attend the conference together. We are exploring lodging possibilities. If we (or some of us) want to try home stays, will there be enough hosts to respond to the number of interested guests? Please keep us in mind. Thanks.

    HI,
    I am planning on attending the conference and am very much interested in both a scholarship and possible home stay. I’ve been working at a new Time Bank in Waterville, Maine, and have lots of Time Dollars.
