Upcoming Events:
WELCOME TO OUR NEXT GATHERING ON APRIL 18 AT 6:30pm!!
Here's the schedule:
6:30-6:45 We will start off with a brief social time, introducing ourselves and offering any exchange items we have to offer for free. I feel very strongly that this time to be social is hugely important to our well-being; it’s a precious time for us to greet each other and connect. I love our community!
The speaker is eager to share a great deal of information with us and have plenty of time for Q & A, so I would ask that we all limit our introductions and exchanges to about 2 minutes each.
6:45-7:30 The Care and Share Time Bank (CSTB) is proud to present;
Dianne Kadonaga! Dianne will emphasize her zero waste, sustainable, regenerative, lifestyle and the edible food forest she has cultivated in her suburban backyard.
Would you like to know how you can turn your urban grass lawn into a vibrant organic eco-system and permaculture-based edible food forest that provides food and habitat for people, pollinators, and the planet?
Dianne only had to go grocery shopping four times in the last year as the garden provided most of her needs. She uses methods that are free or inexpensive to build soil health, fertilize, and get seeds, and she manages pests without chemicals, pesticides, or herbicides, while reducing the need to water or weed. She gets to enjoy a beautiful backyard that is vibrant and full of life of bees, butterflies, insects, and other bugs, birds, and all creatures. It is a yard where all live in harmony and share in the bounty of nature.
She will also share lifestyle ideas on how to be more eco-friendly and green.
Dianne has been featured on 10TV and Columbus Dispatch for Zero Waste Families and Eco-friendly lifestyles, and Sunny Glen Garden was presented with the GreenSpotLight award from Mayor Ginther and the City of Columbus in the small business category for demonstrating excellence in sustainable business practices.

Past events
We had a wonderful GATHERING ON MARCH 21 at 6:30pm!!
Our presenter, Art Yoho, would like to start his presentation at 6:45, so I would ask that we all limit our introductions and exchanges to about 2 minutes each.
Art Yoho, who is working on the community solar project for the Cooke Road Corridor Renewable Neighborhood, spoke to us about his project.Art shares, “Community driven and distributed renewable energy is a new model for electric power. It offers the ability for individuals to share in the ownership and benefits and by Doing so contribute to the common good. Caring and sharing in the context of this project has ecological, social, and economic concerns and is wide open for sharing. Practically and perhaps poetically everything we can contribute came from the Sun and now we can receive and contribute even more. This is a great time to be involved.”
Our speaker, Art, has shared a story with us. “The Sun, caring, and sharing are topics in this document. If it is appropriately serves the audience it is offered as perspective only, not persuasion. I will only refer to it if asked and the presentation will be focused on the specifics of our neighborhood driven desire for a life style of zero emissions. “

WELCOME to the Feb. 21 GATHERING (formerly potluck). Here's the schedule:
6:30-6:40ish, We introduce ourselves and talk about anything (typical greetings). We'll try to limit these greetings so that we can have plenty of time for our presenter!
Then we will take about 15 minutes to watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rVSqLjqhh-E a video to bring us all up-to-speed about community solar till 6:55.
A member had brought up the fact that she didn't plan to attend a "solar" Gathering because she is a renter, and therefore she can't do solar. Others have told me that their house isn't right for it, others tell me it's impractical for them due to shade, expense, it's too "ugly", their homeowner's association won't allow it, etc. I urge you all to watch:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VS0fCWPsts4. Basically, we can all do this!
Then we will hear from our guest speaker, Cathy Cowan Becker - an expert on renewable energy and chair of Ready for 100 Ohio for about 20 minutes. She will talk about the development of utility scale solar in Ohio, and a little bit about community solar.
The remaining few minutes before 7:30 will be a question and answer period.
