Community

A Time Bank is a community of people who support each other. When you spend an hour to do something for an individual or group, you earn a “time credit.” Then, you can use that “time credit” to buy an hour of a neighbor’s time or engage in a group activity offered by a neighbor. It’s that simple. Yet it also has profound effects. You get to know your neighbors and friends and build an old-fashioned extended family of people who take care of each other. A Time Bank changes a whole community. Bring a dish to share and learn about the Care and Share Time Bank.

This event is a fundraiser for Friends For Life Animal Haven, an all-volunteer organization that is dedicated to the goal of “no more homeless pets.” We are committed to promoting better care and understanding of companion animals through education with an emphasis on the importance and benefits of spaying and neutering. Each year, hundreds of animals come to us for protection. We want to continue to be there for them but we need your help.

This year’s Grand Marshall: Jim Obergefell

Jim Obergefell and his late husband, John Arthur, are at the forefront of our fight for national marriage equality. As a married couple, it was their struggle to get Jim’s name as a “surviving spouse” on John’s death certificate that catapulted marriage equality [Obergefell v. Hodges] straight to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Juneteenth, or June 19th, 1865, is considered the date when the last captives in America were freed. Although the rumors of freedom were widespread before this, actual emancipation did not come until General Gordon Granger rode into Galveston, Texas and issued General Order No. 3, on June 19th, 1865, almost two and a half years after President Abraham Lincoln had signed the Emancipation Proclamation.
