Apologies for any cross-posting and sorry for taking the
liberty of doing this Ann but I just thought all our time
bank friends might like to hear the following bit of news.

Last night at City University, Inge Rowlinson-Lauder of
Hilldrop Time Bank was named "Islington Volunteer of the
Year 2007." Inge was presented with her award by Emily
Thornbury MP. This was at the annual celebration organised
by the Islington Volunteering Association, the networking
organisation that aims to bring together everyone from the
voluntary, public and private sector involved with
volunteering within Islington. Nobody in the Islington Time
Bank Network had any idea this was going to happen. Wearing
one of my other hats I am Treasurer of the Association and
they even hid it from me!

Inge is now in her early 70s. You might get an idea of her
attitude to this from the fact that last year she took part
in the Walk for Life marathon and raised over #200 for
people living with HIV and Aids. Throughout her time in
Islington she has been involved in a large number and
variety of community activities but in 2005 she discovered
and joined Hilldrop Time Bank. All I can say is, lucky old
Hilldrop. There she is currently running two sewing courses.

She is very skilled so both courses are packed-solid and
both have a waiting list. The six sewing machines, irons and
ironing boards she decided she needed to run the courses
were all paid for with a Community Champions Award she
personally (of course) went and won from the Scarman Trust.
She is, quite frankly, amazing.

It was a pretty good night all round for us really because
three other Islington Time Bank members also collected
certificates in recognition of the value we all place on
them. These were Joan Hewitt, also of Hilldrop Time Bank,
Val Dunmow of Caxton House Time Bank and Kaaren Morris, the
(still) unpaid Broker and creator of the Upper Street Time
Bank. Well done everybody. Peter Roberts - Broker
