Winter/Holiday Scavenger Hunt!

/

Would you like an extra hour to spend on a yoga lesson, a ride, getting that hole in your pants patched, or any of the other services offered by Silver Spring Timebank Members?  Earn a Bonus Timebank Hour by taking part in our Winter/Holiday Scavenger Hunt!

The hunt takes place on hOurworld.  Log in to look for the answers (and also get some ideas for what offers or requests YOU might post).

Most of these questions ask you which SSTB member can provide a certain service. There may be multiple members who can do that --- you don't have to find them all, just give us one. (Hint: Check the Offers tab, search bios under the Members tab, or just use the Search box!)

List your answers in an email and send to slater.tina@gmail.com.  Deadline is TUESDAY, December 21, 2021.

We'll get back to participants mid-January with the answers and how to record your bonus hour.  Let's get started!  

  1. You are trying out for a part in a play, but you need to speak with a foreign accent.  Who could coach you?

  2. My mother lives alone, has poor eyesight, yet used to be an avid reader.  Is there anyone who could read aloud her favorite book to her?

  3. I’ve kept a bunch of beads (from broken necklaces). Could someone make them into bracelets or a new necklace?

  4. We’re hosting a surprise anniversary dinner for some dear friends. I’d love to have a floral arrangement as a centerpiece. Who could make one for me --- or even teach me?

  5. My potted orchid was lovely when I bought it. But I’ve had it for 5 years (it’s still alive – Hurray!), but I cannot get it to bloom.  Whom should I call?

  6. I’m planning a week-long trip.  Is there someone who could look after my bird?

  7. One of our members is known as the “Green Elf” --- can you tell us why?

  8. Our place of worship is on a mission to reduce food waste.  Can someone offer us advice?

  9. An old friend is coming to town for the weekend to visit me.  But I don’t have a spare room. Is there someone in Silver Spring who could offer an overnight stay?

  10. Who are the 3 newest members to join the timebank, as of the day you submit your answers to the quiz? Hint: Use the Members tab.

  11. Can you find 3 timebank members who live close to you --- not including members of your household! Hint: Click on the Members tab, and filter using the Distance Limit button.

  12. Where would you look to find out how many exchanges Mary Campbell has done and how many times she responded when emailed? Hint: the Profile page is the info other members can see about you – so go to Mary’s Profile page and check her Member Bio.
