NORWAY — Time banking will be discussed by Stacey Jacobsohn at 7 p.m. Thursday, Sept. 20, at Fare Share Commons, 443 Main St.

Jacobsohn leads the Mid-Maine TimeBank in Waterville. Individuals and groups “connect, share and learn” as they exchange skills through the use of time credits. Community and social networks are strengthened.

Jacobsohn, an award-winning researcher as a student, is a musician and graduate student who runs her own faux-finishing interior decoration business, along with exerting a leadership role in the time bank movement.

Time banking has gone worldwide since its founding in the 1980s. The intellectual author of time banking is U.S. lawyer and political activist Edgar Cahn.
