THE COMMUNITY CURRENCY DIRECTORY OF HUMBOLDT COUNTY

August/September 2005 Issue

Summer Greetings from the Collective!

Dear Humboldt Community,

Welcome to the August/September issue of the Humboldt Exchange. With this issue we celebrate that we have completed a full year as the Humboldt Exchange! We hope you are happy with how far this project has come over the last year.

This issue we welcome many new listers, as we continue to grow and expand. For those who’ve been regulars for a while, this issue offers many great new opportunities to spend your currency and trade your goods.

Our first two Pancake Breakfasts were wonderful successes, with over 30 people attending both times. It was a great opportunity to meet folks in person, and talk together. If you have goods for which you are willing to accept Community Currency, feel free to bring them and if you offer services please bring your business cards or other information about what you offer. Anyone is welcome to attend: friends, neighbors and family members – children are welcome! Pancake Breakfasts will continue to be held the 3rd Sunday of every month, from 10am - noon. $5 Community Currency (you can buy CC at the door if you don’t have any) at the Democracy Unlimited Headquarters: 1402 M Street, Eureka (corner of 14th & M). If you’d like to help us cook breakfast or clean up please give us a call!

As promised last issue, Loving Earth Gardens now has their roadside stand up and going in Arcata. They are accepting 20-50% Community Currency on all purchases (see page four for details).

As of print time, we were unable to finalize with a new business to accept Community Currency this issue. However we have several potential businesses on the horizon, and continue to hold out our goal of a new business for each issue. We appreciate your help in growing this project by letting businesses know that you’d like to see them accepting Community Currency. We have a lovely packet to send out, and are happy to meet in person as well. Please make sure to patronize the local businesses accepting Community Currency and let them know how much you appreciate their participation in this project.

This issue also brought us some extra help with organizing and putting it all together:

Ian and Britton have begun forming our Design Team responsible for layout, graphics and the web page. We welcome others interested in assisting in the Design Team, as there are many aspects and tasks to accomplish. Our lead designer, Heather, is happy to train folks who would like to join this aspect of the project.

Tony and Ginger have stepped up to form our Distribution Team, they will be organizing a structure for regular and thorough distribution of the paper directory. They will definitely need volunteers to help do the distribution. They also would appreciate your ideas and suggestions regarding the process, locations and methods that will best get our issues where they should be.

Ginger Fletcher has also joined our collective, and will be directly involved in the many aspects of keeping this project flowing month to month. Ginger comes to the project as a regular volunteer through Democracy Unlimited of Humboldt County. She is also a student at HSU.

Please join us in welcoming Ginger and all the new listers to the Humboldt Exchange, as we look forward to our next year!

In Each Other We Trust!
