Due to the overwhelming response to the L.A. Times article, The Echo Park Time Bank has created an application form for new members. We have also convened a steering committee to help oversee the application process.
A big thanks goes out to Howie for setting up our application and reference forms on line.

The applications are due by September 20th, 2008. The steering committee will review the applications on September 27th and applicants will be notified of acceptance by October 1st.

After this first round we will not be reviewing applications until November.
Thanks for your patience while we attempt to figure all this out.

Good Turnout for August Workshop at The Public School


The Echo Park Time Bank Workshop on August 24th was a great success! Thank you to Sean and The Public School for generously hosting the meeting, to Caleb Lund who drove from the OC to help us out, and to all of you who came and participated. There were around 35 people in attendance and it was really encouraging to hear from everyone. We are so excited about all of the enthusiasm and look forward to getting to know new members.
