The L/A time bank is a wonderful gift to the Lewiston/Auburn community. How does it work? “Time Dollars are a type of community currency that anyone can earn by using their time, energy, skills, and talents to help others. One hour of service provided to another human being or to the community earns one Time Dollar. You can spend your Time Dollars on any number of services.” To join or to learn more about the program, call 207-782-5783, ext. 1607.

Millennium Declaration UNILETS Resolution C6 to governments is for a time-based currency to restructure the global financial architecture.
