MIDDLETOWN, Calif. – The Time Bank of Thrive Lake County will hold a sing-along social and meet up on Saturday, March 8, at Middletown Community United Methodist Church, 15833 Armstrong St., Middletown. All members and prospective members are welcome to attend.

Steve Pollaine, keyboardist extraordinaire, will lead the evening’s entertainment. Lyric books will be provided, and attendees are asked to bring a potluck dish to feed eight to share. It is hoped everyone will lend their voice in song, though if you just feel like listening, that is perfectly OK, too.

Prior to the sing-along, the time bank will hold its regular monthly meet-up. This event includes activities designed to answer your questions about, and get you started in, time banking.

You'll also learn how to get your needs met while helping others, and meet fellow time bankers who you can exchange time with.

Time bankers who attend this event can earn time credits in the following ways:

• Two hours credit for attending the entire meet up;
• One hour credit for each possible new member you bring;
• One hour credit for a potluck dish that serves eight.

The meet up will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. The sing along will begin after the meet up and run until 7 p.m. or later, depending on enthusiasm.

The Time Bank of Thrive Lake County uses the complimentary currency of hours to enable members to exchange services. Every hour is valued the same, regardless of the service performed.

Time bank membership is open to any Lake County resident, business or organization. Office locations include 307 N. Main St., Lakeport (open 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. most weekdays), and the NCO Office at 14832 Lakeshore, Clearlake (open from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., Thursdays).
