Hi TimeBankers,
It's been a wet week, with definite signs of Autumn leaves beginning to turn, and a little chill in the air. The Farmer's Market Day was a fun event though it just missed being rained out.
We have lots still coming up in October with the Foundation Farm Harvest Party (see Section 2 for details), the recycling project and “350” The International Day of Climate Action. See Section 3 for details on the Volunteer Opportunities.
We are still working on putting together an Open Meeting/ Workday/Potluck for TimeBankers in October or November, with the view of helping member Andrew Schwerin build his yurt. More details in upcoming broadcasts.
Last but not least, there is a new prospective member, Kariann, who some of you know, who is having a very hard time right now due to the heavy rains and could definitely use our help. See the Special Note following:
SPECIAL NOTE: Kariann
Deborah Thompson:alerted us that a hardworking single woman friend and neighbor of hers, Kariann, who is in her late 50s, is in need of emergency assistance as her property was flooded in the recent downpour. It was unlikely anyone would be able to drive in or out before Monday 10/12, but at that point she thinks the creek will be low enough to cross. She will need someone with a chainsaw to help clear debris and helpers to clean up the mud, particularly in the lower level of her house. She recommends you wear mud boots, heavy rubber gloves, bring a heavy duty dustpan and shovel if you can. Someone with a bulldozer will also be needed to put the road back in shape. You can call her at 870 545 3015.
DIRECTIONS: From Berryville, take Hwy 21 South 6&1/4 miles, to the last light going out of town. Take a right on County Rd. 560 (Brushy Creek Rd.), a good dirt road. Go about 3&1/2 miles, stay left at the “Y” and go onto CR 5607. There is a big tree with a yellow sunflower and blue reflector to mark the trail. Go about a 1/2 mile on that road. There is a gate on the way and an old sign that says 'no longer CO Rd. 820'. The gate is always open. There is a big meadow on the right, then the road deadends at a tan cabin with a green roof. Just before the cabin, go right, downhill on the driveway. You will see the creek. There's a yellow plastic chain and the gate is open. Kariann's is the shack with the yellow roof on the other side of the creek.
Kariann says she will be joining TimeBank asap. She will be using Deb's donated hours in the meantime, and later will do what she can to build an account of hours of her own. Meanwhile, if members would like to donate hours to Kariann, that is another way to help her. This is not an official Volunteer Opportunity at this point, but we may upgrade the status if need be.
TimeBank hours will, of course, be awarded to any members who volunteer to help Kariann.
Note: We are still in need of some help with coordinating TimeBank. If you are interested, you are welcome to attend our monthly coordinator meetings to learn more. Please see Section 2 for details, or call or email Natalie at 479 365 3124 or onawah@gmail.com.
Thanks for your participation, TimeBankers!

If you would like to volunteer for either or both tasks, please email Natalie at onawah@gmal.com or call 479 365 3124.
3.Volunteer Opportunities:
RECYCLING DAYS, OCTOBER 17TH & MORE
& '350' International Day of Climate Action
This from June Easton: “On October 17th at the Gas Station on 62 West by the 187 turnoff, there is a community free recycling date. You may have read about this on Geekfest. Joe and I are already volunteering to assist on this day. I thought this would be a good project for the Time Bank.”
Danny Turner tells us that there are actually 3 of them (recycling dates) scheduled around in October. He plans on volunteering. As a group project some people getting together to strip out the metal and such could help to fund other time bank projects. And it keeps these (items) from going to a landfill.
You can contact Danny at turnerpcrepair@cox.net or call 337-303-6447 or alternate:870-480-8874 if you would like to help with this project.
OCTOBER 24th is “350” INTERNATIONAL DAY OF CLIMATE ACTION
This from Jerry Landrum: “Eureka Springs is a “Cool City”, having signed the US Mayors Climate Protection Agreement in 2007, the year the arctic melted far greater than it ever had before. Indeed, climate disruption is happening even faster than science had predicted, with recent studies suggesting that catastrophic temperature rise will occur unless we reduce atmospheric CO2 back below 350ppm.”
For details about the International event, see the website address : http://www.350.org/
For the Eureka Springs event, go to: http://www.eureka350.org
This from the official website http://www.350.org: “350 is the most important number in the world--it's what scientists say is the safe upper limit for carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. On October 24, the International Day of Climate Action will cover almost every country on earth, the most widespread day of environmental action in the planet’s history. Thousands of community events will be taking place globally to raise awareness of the need for urgent action to change the negotiating environment as we head towards the crucial UN Climate Negotiations in Copenhagen in December of 2009.”
The event in Eureka Springs will begin at 10AM and go till 11PM. We will have a TimeBank table at Spring Basin Park along with Planet Home and Outdoor Alliance, from about 1-5PM.
TimeBank volunteers will be needed for several tasks. We need a volunteer to sit at our table for those 4 hours. (There will also be live music and speakers all afternoon at the Park.)
Help is needed with managing some of the events, which include:
a. at 4PM, for 15 minutes or so, about 35 bodies will be needed to form a giant '350' which will be photographed for the 350 website.
b. Mountain St. Challenge--bikers to ride from the base to the top of Mountain St.--whoever reaches the top will be awarded prizes. This is for strong riders. c. At 11am: 10 bikes, each riding 35 laps around the Courthouse.This is for any rider.
d. Flyers and poster to be distributed around town and to various businesses, churches, etc.
At 7pm there will be a potluck at Enthios and the premier showing of “ Eureka Green”, the video, created by Becky Gillette. Music, dancing and celebration! All are invited to attend.
The coordinator for the local event is Jerry Landrum. For more details, contact him at 479 253 6963 or email: jl_landrum@yahoo.com
For help with signing up as a TimeBank volunteer or for help recording hours etc., contact Natalie Mannering at onawah@gmail.com or call 479 365 3124.
