HOUR DOLLARS

Article featured in the St. Paul Pioneer Press, written by Don Boxmeyer.

"You need your house re-roofed, but you don't have the money right now. Somewhere, though, there's a roofer who needs guitar lessons. You may not know a guitar from a glue gun, but your gardening skills could come in handy if the karate teacher has a big yard and the roofer yearns to be a kickboxer. Such are the workday machinations of Hour Dollars, a fast-developing East Side community-enhancement program that's built around the barter, the good, old-time trade that is just about the most basic and most honorable form of business transaction in existence."

Article featured in the Eastside Review by Holly Andren " New bartering program comes to the East Side. Participants can exchange skills, meet neighbors through Hour Dollars program. East Siders who would like to volunteer their skills but also could use some help in return can participate in a new bartering program."
