This month’s program: “Polyamory: Options to Consider”

Polyamory is an increasingly popular choice among those who are atheist, Humanist, or otherwise non-theistic. But non-theists aren’t the only ones adopting polyamory. Theists and those who are “spiritual but not religious” are also joining polyamory-focused communities such as Poly Columbus and are practicing ethical non-monogamy.

Join us for pizza and socializing at 12:30pm. Pizza from Papa John’s will be available for $1.25 per slice. Program starts at 1pm.

Join more than 240 like-minded individuals in the Columbus area who find that banking on their community helps to save them time and builds a better world! Your time is valuable! Spend it wisely! What is timebanking? Timebanking is a tool by which a group of people can exchange their time and skills rather than acquire goods and services through the use of money. How does it work? Spend an hour doing something for someone, get a time credit, and then use that credit for anything from food preparation to pet care or even transportation for a family member!

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.
