Comment by Sarah Moore on September 29, 2011 at 8:48am: That is cool George, Thanks.

Comment by George Owen on September 28, 2011 at 9:43pm: I have volunteered to be the Liaison between Transition Milwaukee and Milwaukee Area Time Exchange. I'm out of town for most of the next two months, but starting next year I am looking forward to nurturing the relevance that each group has for the other.

Comment by marc on July 6, 2010 at 10:36pm: Additional upcoming orientation dates:

July 8th 1 p.m. 2520 N. Dousman
July 15th 6 p.m. Friends Meeting House 3224 N. Gordon Place
July 21st 6 p.m. Future Green 2352 South Kinnickinnic Avenue
July 21st 7 p.m. All People's Church 2600 N. 2nd Street.

(there are 270+ ning users of Transition Milwaukee. There are under 160 people signed up at http://community.timebanks.org/jointb.php?gid=313 What will it take to get "the 100 of the missing" to sign up?)

Comment by marc on October 12, 2009 at 5:31pm: signed up....get involved.

By being signed up, you are now involved! All the timebank needs from you is the filled out form and for you to go through the training.

After that, you post what you would like to have done, and what you can offer others.

Comment by Joe Hill on October 10, 2009 at 9:17am: I just signed up on timebank.org.

I would be willing to help and get involved.

Comment by marc on June 9, 2009 at 9:15am: I'm going to need people involved who can work their media contact lists once the site is live, people who can work with their local citizens to sign up and use the software, people who can do the background checks and people who can take the routed voicemails and respond to them.

And one person "from the community" to sign up to be on the Board of Directors.

This is being done on the shoe-string-y-ist of budgets (aka we don't have the 1/4 of a million in grants that Dane county has had) so it needs bodies to do some of the work. Once it demonstrates it can work (within the context of our limited budget of time) - someone can work the grant writing angle like Dane county.

I'd like to see it as a community building effort - so can the members of transitionmilwaukee.ning.com step up to the task?
