Money is an EXCHANGE unit for goods and services, and U.S. money is getting funnier and funnier as the debt grows by leaps and bounds. So NOW is the time to start a LETS [local exchange trade system] in the valley. Please come to the Wildflower Cafe for a potluck and discussion of an alternative currency at 11:30 on Saturday, Dec.6. We will pass a basket for donations to help defray Michelle's [owner of Wildflower] costs.
Though you may not know me, I am working through the Alliance for Sustainability, which is how I got most of your email addresses. Please R.S.V.P. so we can have a handle on how many to expect. You were chosen to attend this meeting because you are a " shaker and mover;" that is, you already have some expertise and/or a group to build on.
If you don't know much about alternative currencies, a couple of good websites are www.ithacahours.org and http://reinventingmoney.com.
I hope to see you all at the Wildflower for a great beginning discussion on how to get an alternative currency in the LV. Please feel free to invite other people who are interested in this venture. We will discuss ways to open the idea to the community.

NOTE: THERE IS A POTLUCK MEETING JANUARY 11TH TO TALK ABOUT L.E.T.S. IN THE LV. IT IS AT THE CARING PLACE IN ALLENTOWN. WE WILL POST DETAILS ASAP.
