Preregistration required at Just Food Co-op or by calling 507-650-0106.
Is your garage or basement full of stuff that you only use occasionally? Do you find yourself purchasing tools for a one-time project?
Come learn how a west side neighborhood has begun sharing everything from tools and games to trucks and trailers, and building community along the way. Attendees that are preregistered on or before Monday, April 21, will be given template documents that you can use to start your own neighborhood share. Held Tuesday, April 22 at 7 p.m. in the Just Food Event Space (previously the Mercantile) 516 Water St. S.

A new way to share
I just ran across your item about sharing items between neighbors and thought you might be interested in the website I referenced above.
www.householdnetwork.com
Each neighborhood can create a 'network' where they can all connect and list items they are willing to loan to others within their 'network'. Members can list items, expertise they might have that they're willing to share as well as list service providers that they might recommend (such as landscapers, plumbers, electricians, local businesses etc.....). It's a great way to connect within a neighborhood. Best of all..........IT'S FREE !!
