An Invitation to Arroyo S.E.C.O. Timebank Members
Participate in a Study from June to September Located in Echo Park, LA, run by PARC Inc., Penn State University and Carnegie Mellon University Funded by the National Science Foundation. In partnership with hOurworld & St. Barnabas Senior Services.
 
We are a team of non-local scientists developing a new peer-to-peer matching service, NeighborGenie, to work with hOurworld timebanking, which will recommend people to each other based on convenience, choosing the people best placed to help out.
 
No more waiting around for someone to see your offer or request; we recommend providers to requestors automatically.
 
We are conducting a field evaluation focused on finding assistance for seniors aging in place who need help with simple transportation-centered tasks (rides and deliveries). However...
 
Anyone can use NeighborGenie for ride and delivery offers and requests in the timebank. But science shows that volunteering makes you happier, healthier and longer lived. So why not enjoy these benefits while helping local seniors?
 
As well as installing the NeighborGenie app, timebankers who participate will download the Aware app for iPhone or Android to build a travel prediction profile. This will allow you to be recommended if you will be in the right place at the right time to offer help when needed. For example, if someone needs dry cleaning picked up, the one who regularly goes nearest the dry cleaner and the requestor’s home would be offered this task.
 
If interested in in participating you must:
  • Be 18 years or older and local to or near to Echo Park
  • Be willing to submit to a free background check. We want everyone to stay safe.
  • Have access to a vehicle (can be a bicycle or motorbike) so you can get around the neighborhood to provide assistance to seniors with simple tasks and errands if need be.
  • Have a fairly recent model smartphone; For Android at least 4.0.3 Ice Cream Sandwich (released in year 2011). For iPhone, it must be an iPhone 5 model or up, with at least iOS 8. This is required so you can run the app.
  • Spanish, Mandarin, or Tagalog speaking skills welcomed but non-essential.

Letter Writing to Inmates July 15th

6/5/2017

0 Comments

 
Picture
The Arroyo S.E.C.O. Network of Time Banks' Peace and Safety Committee has been partnering with Mariposa Prison and Parole Ministry since spring, 2014. This project requires no adherence to any faith whatsoever. Some of the inmates do, in fact, experience themselves as remote members of the church; if they write about spiritual matters, we direct the letters to the ministerial staff. A significant focus of the letters is simply human-to-human contact, as well as exchanges of information about release dates and the shipments of dress-outs (a set of clothes and shoes that Mariposa will send, to spare inmates having to reenter society in easily-recognizable prison-issued garb and c.a.r.d.b.o.a.r.d. shoes—at the inmate’s expense). This is not an easy something to do, but it is tremendously rewarding.

Saturday, July 15th, 2017 from 2:30-4:30PM
Hollywood Lutheran Church, 1733 N. New Hampshire Ave. (just north of Hollywood Blvd. in Los Feliz).

Charles Eisenstein in Pasadena 3/19/15

2/16/2015

In a time of social and ecological crisis, what can we as individuals do to make the world a better place?

Renowned author and visionary Charles Eisenstein will give a talk on the critical failings of the mainstream economy and opportunities for change, the topic of his widely acclaimed book, The More Beautiful World our Hearts Know is Possible.

"This inspirational and thought-provoking book serves as an empowering antidote to the cynicism, frustration, paralysis, and overwhelm so many of us are feeling, replacing it with a grounding reminder of what’s true: we are all connected, and our small, personal choices bear unsuspected transformational power. By fully embracing and practicing this principle of interconnectedness—called interbeing—we become more effective agents of change and have a stronger positive influence on the world.” - www.charleseisenstein.net

Learn how a shifting paradigm is gaining momentum in communities throughout the world and how you can get involved in local efforts to promote more sustainable, human-scale economics. A community discussion will be held immediately following the talk.

Tickets available on-line https://charleseisensteinpasadena.eventbrite.com/
or at the door.
Variable ticket price, no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Bring a book to swap at the free market and a cup for tea.

The Local Economy Incubator of the Arroyo Sustainable Economies Community Organization is excited to host this event with the support of:

ASECO Local Economy Incubator Special Event: Peter Dreier’s “Pasadena: A Tale of Two Cities”

2/9/2015

Picture
The Local Economy Incubator of the Arroyo Sustainable Economies Community Organization is excited to host scholar and activist Peter Dreier at the Armory Center for the Arts on Tuesday, February 17th at 7pm. Mr. Dreier will present his recent Pasadena Weekly article and report, A Tale of Two Pasadenas which both document the widening income gap in Pasadena and the Los Angeles region:

“In Pasadena, the income of households near the top ($249,841) is almost 10.8 times greater than the income of those near the bottom ($23,042). Only four of the 37 California cities with more than 140,000 people have a wider rich-poor gap — San Francisco (12.4), Oakland (11.2) Glendale (11), and Los Angeles (10.9). No other cities have a rich-poor gap in double digits.” - Pasadena: A Tale of Two Cities

Learn what this widening gap means for Pasadena residents and how strong community advocacy is needed now to inform the City’s General Plan.

A community discussion will be held immediately following the presentation.


What:      Pasadena: A Tale of Two Cities with Peter Dreier
When:     Tuesday, February 17 at 7pm
Where:    Armory Center for the Arts, in the Community Room
                (145 N Raymond Ave, Pasadena)
Price:      Free and open to the public, donations gratefully accepted
RSVP:     To attend, email asecolocaleconomy@gmail.com
