What else do I need to know about Groups?
/Any Timebank member may create a new group. Please check to see if the group you want to create or something similar already exists.
You are welcome to join existing groups. No invitation is needed; however, please respect any established parameters (eg., a group for people who live in Silver Spring Towers or a group for IT professionals).
Any Timebank member may view who is in existing groups by clicking on the underlined number to the right of the group name. (That number shows how many people have joined the group.)
Group members can post about upcoming group events, related magazine articles, ideas of interest to that group, etc.
When a group member posts an announcement, it is sent, in real time, to the email addresses of all other members of that group. So please keep in mind that group members may have different preferences for how much email traffic they receive.
In general, no Timebank hours are awarded for creating groups or planning/participating in the group’s activities. There may be occasional exceptions, and it’s fine to ask.
