Posted by Benjamin Cutler on April 29, 2003 at 00:36:51:Hello Friends,
I am writing to let you know about Emerald Ecos Community Currency. We are an organizing group of 6 people who have been meeting regularly since August of 2002. We have been in the process of developing our ideas about how we could initiate a local currency here in Eugene. There are numerous local currency systems in cities and towns across the country. Most notably is Ithaca HOURS in Ithaca, NY (www.ithacahours.org). They have been making and using their very own local currency now for over 11 years! Beginning this Saturday May 3rd we will be staffing an information table at the Saturday Market. At our table we will be talking with people about local currency and how it can work for the community. Please come down and have a chat with us about how you can easily support community currency.
Sincerely,
Benjamin Cutler
