Does anyone know if there is a Twin Ports Time Bank? (Some places know it as time exchange or other terms.) If not, has there been one and it failed? Any info would be appreciated.

Time Bank is a service exchange where a person will do a job for one person and “bank” time for help from another person for people that might not know what it is. I mow your lawn and you re-shingle my roof. That type of thing.

I am trying to find someone willing to sit with me for an hour or two and tell me the story of his or her life. I am a graduate student in a marriage and family therapy program and this is for a project about the development of individuals by circumstances in their life. None of the interview is “therapy” and there is no analyzing involved.

I really would love to interview someone from the WWII generation. I would love to do this over the weekend or early in the week next week, as my paper is due the following weekend. If anyone is interested, or know someone who would be willing to participate, please email me at joellynsteele @ gmail.com.

I am yet another student @ UMD in a journalism reporting & writing searching for a story.

We are working on a history of Duluth story… I was spending some time in Bixby’s and noticed the community knitting project…

I would love to find someone who has a quiet history of working on community grassroots projects… know of anyone?

or any other suggestions?
