Our Community
- We are postponing the Repair Cafe event, which was originally scheduled for this October, to this Spring. This will allow more time to really organize a great event. If you are interested in helping with the process of making this event happen, please contact Tony or Kip!

- Most trades go well. Folks get stuff accomplished, try out new or existing skills, share their resources, and sometimes make lasting connections. However...as we all know...some trades are problematic -- things don't go quite as expected.
The Board is looking into forming a committee to consider how trades can be improved. Would you like to be part of the discussion? Please get in touch with Donna so we can get this discussion off the ground!

Take the Two-Month Time Trade Challenge!
So, how did it go???
Last month, we challenged all Time Trade members to commit to doing at least one time trade exchange each month for the months of August and September. Were you able to do this? We'd love to hear about how it went!
What is hard about doing trades? What would make it easier for you to participate more regularly? The Board is looking for ways to encourage greater engagement with our community and participation in our organization. What would you like to see happen? What projects would be interesting to you? What if we had more funding, what could we do then? Please send your ideas to me, and I will find ways (board meetings, newsletter, etc) to share them with our organization!
