Dear All,
We are setting up a new activity, the Tiny Estates Community Exchange. Many of us are downsizing, and others just have things they no longer need or have space for. We hope this will be an opportunity to pass things on to someone who needs or would like them.
This Exchange will take place initially once a month - we'll be posting the first activity date soon and more details of how it will work.
Thanks to Valerie (the Chairman Tiny House) who has offered to be our Liaison for this activity. If you'd like to help out, let Valerie know.
And if you'd like to suggest something you are looking for, or something you are thinking of offering to give - feel free to start doing that here and then,everyone will have an idea of some of what's available.

Our first exchange will be Tuesday October 26th from 5p.m. to 6 p.m. on the community center porch. Bring anything you would like to give away and/or come looking for goodies. Any items still remaining at 6 p.m. need to be taken back to your home.

Headed there anyway for game night to get a feel for how this will go. I have a consistent history of misjudging the usefulness of my possessions.

Just a reminder that this evening (10/26) our first community exchange is taking place from 5:00p.m. to 6:00p.m. on the community center porch-though I'd like to start wrapping up around 5:40 p.m. or so to allow plenty of time for game night set up. Both game night and the community exchange are perfect ways to spend a rainy autumn evening!

We have some things to give away, but this started way too early. I don't get out of work until 5PM if I'm lucky, and I'm usually coming from my office off of Progress Ave in Harrisburg, and I'm often dirty and sweaty from working on wiring and equipment, so before I do anything social I need to get presentable as well.
It's been mentioned before that not everyone here is retired, and I'm going to respectfully mention that again. With a 5PM and even a 6PM start, many working people aren't going to be able to attend these events. Please consider us when scheduling.

Trying to accommodate everyone's schedules and preferences for events is a challenge and we appreciate patience as we have quite a few new programs we are setting up as well as new volunteers who are helping with the events and activities. One of the beauties and occasional burdens of community is figuring out the dynamics of gatherings including challenges like scheduling...everyone's input is appreciated and considered, as we move forward together. We'll see many of you at our next Exchange, hopefully...last evenings was pretty much rained out.
