We cordially invite the public to join and contribute your experience, knowledge, and wisdom either as a member or as a staff administrator,” said Budak. “Working together we can further our collective capacity to build a better future.”

Budak continued, "If you're currently looking for employment, taking one of these 'volunteer' positions at the Time Bank would be useful for your resume. And, if you're retired and looking for something worthwhile to do, you'll get spendable time bank compensation for your contribution."
