New community skill-sharing program in La Honda: LinkAges (June 28)

LinkAges, a non-profit project of the Palo Alto Medical Foundation, helps communities set up a “time banking” system that connects people of all ages to support the well-being and quality of life for all members of the community.  As members contribute services (computer help, mending, baking, small repairs, running errands) in exchange for hours and use those hours to receive services in return, connections are formed and neighbors become communities once again.

The La Honda Information and Referral Service and Puente are pleased to present Christina Araiza, MPH, LinkAges Community Engagement Manager who will provide information about how to implement this valuable program on Saturday, June 28th at 10:30AM at the Puente office in downtown La Honda, 8865 La Honda Road.

For more information, call (650) 747-0605 or email lahondalynnette@earthlink.net.
