6pm Potluck
6:45pm Movie: Time as Money
followed by Discussion
Location: Ron Robinson's place, 667 W. Hind Dr. in Aina Haina.
Transition Oahu and the Oahu Timebank (oahu.timebanks.org) are teaming up to host a potluck and screen the movie Time As Money: A Documentary About Timebanking.
Timebanking is an alternative economic system that has five core values:
Assets
We are all assets.
We all have something to give.
Redefining Work
Some work is beyond price.
Work has to be redefined to value whatever it takes to raise healthy children, build strong families, revitalize neighborhoods, make democracy work, advance social justice, make the planet sustainable. That kind of work needs to be honored, recorded and rewarded.
Reciprocity
Helping works better as a two-way street.
The question: “How can I help you?” needs to change so we ask: “How can we help each other build the world we both will live in?”
Social Networks
We need each other.
Networks are stronger than individuals. People helping each other reweave communities of support, strength & trust. Community is built upon sinking roots, building trust, creating networks. Special relationships are built on commitment.
Respect
Every human being matters.
Respect underlies freedom of speech, freedom of religion, and everything we value. Respect supplies the heart and soul of democracy. When respect is denied to anyone, we all are injured. We must respect where people are in the moment, not where we hope they will be at some future point.
Please join us as we rethink abundance, assets, and our island at large!
We like to be as waste free as possible at all our events, so please remember to bring your own reusable plates, cups and eating utensils and serving spoons for your dish. And if possible, please include an ingredient label for those following special diets.
