Fall 2022 Scavenger Hunt!

/

Would you like an extra timebank hour to spend on a hair trim, learning to play bridge or pickleball, or could you use help assembling your IKEA furniture?  Did you know that there are timebank members who can fulfill each of these requests? You can earn a Bonus Timebank Hour by taking part in our Fall 2022 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, one will do. (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 US.  Deadline is FRIDAY, October 21, 2022.

We'll get back to participants in early November with the answers and how to record your bonus hour.  Let's get started!  

  1. We’re hosting an anniversary dinner for good friends. Is there someone who could make a laser-cut wooden cutout saying “36 years together!” to use as a cake topper (it’d also be a great memento for them!).

  2. Your kid loves nature and you’d like to plan a child-centered nature activity for them and their friends. Who can offer some suggestions on where to go and how to do this?

  3. Long ago, you used to play bridge. Now you and some friends want to get back to it. But you definitely need a refresher. Which member can help?

  4. You looked in the mirror and think it’s time for a hair trim. Who has the skills and equipment?

  5. You’d like to stretch your body and try some yoga, but don’t want to have to leave your home. Is there someone who would work with you via Zoom?

  6. Oh dear, your car battery has started acting up. Does it need to be replaced, or could it be something else? Who has a screening device for batteries?

  7. You’ve recently retired and now that you’re home full-time, you’d like the place to be more peaceful and welcoming. Which timebank member(s) can help you with decluttering?

  8. Pickleball/pickle ball is all the rage these days! You’d like to try it --- is there someone who could show you how?

  9. You just got back from a trip to IKEA and want to assemble your furniture finds!! Who might be able to help you?

  10. You’re submitting a paper, or an article for a newsletter. But first, you’d like an “eagle eye” to look it over. Can you name a member or two who could proofread it for you?

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

  12. You’re going to the University of Michigan for a college visit. What Michigan timebank member offers lodging? (Hint: Under the Services tab, click Inter-trade, and search Offers)

  13. Where would you look to find out how many exchanges Don Slater has done and how many times he responded when emailed? (Hint: the Profile page is the info other members can see about you – go to Don’s Profile and click on Achievements)

  14. You received a notice that the offer you posted is about to expire. Do you know how to change the expiration date on your offer? (Hint: Under the Services tab, click Edit My Offers, and then what’s the next step?)

  15. An upcoming SSTB event is the OCTOBER Virtual Social --- do you know what date it’s scheduled for? (Hint: click on the Home tab and look under Announcements)

Thanks for participating!!  Mail your answers to US by FRIDAY, October 21, 2022.
