What's this I hear about a bonus?

A few of our members got a bonus this holiday season.

In mid-December, I posted an announcement on the Community Weaver home page. It was titled, "Earn a Holiday TD$!" and in it, I asked members to send an email to me with one idea for a community event they would attend.

In return, they received a Time Dollar.

The ideas submitted were excellent -- a good mix of things we have done with some success and some new things. Check them out:

• family friendly event (like a game night)
• potluck
• classes on DIY projects (scrape popcorn ceiling, lay wood flooring, refinish furniture, painting)
• trying out a new restaurant as a group
• attending a community event as a group (Ice Hawks hockey game,  theater or orchestra performance, perhaps even an outing to the Ice Bar in February)

See anything you like?  I hope so, as we will try to incorporate things like this into our calendar for 2013. If you like these ideas or have others, I am always interested in hearing from you at timetrader@familyservicerochester.org.

Keep your eyes peeled (always in the Announcements section of the home page) for new ways to earn Time Credits (more on that in a blog post soon) in 2013, and if you  see an opportunity, be sure to share it with your friends!
