Thank you for publishing this information!

@Cityweaver You are so welcome! Terry & Linda are also featured in the Funding Your Coop segment of the 2-DVD set that I've just finished, "This Way Out: A Guide To Starting A Worker Cooperative." Working on the Spanish translation & hope to have it available to the public shortly.

@JJNoire I'm making a playlist of information from you and others on time banks and cooperatives. I'm very interested in developing business models that use social capital and operate in a more old-school workshop model, stressing on-the-job learning for teenagers and young people.

@Cityweaver The 2-DVD set I was referring to, "This Way Out: A Guide To Starting A Worker Cooperative," would be useful. It is geared to small start-up's (10 or less people) will little, or limited, access to capital. It definitely would be appropriate for high school age students. One of the coops featured in the DVD set is Co-Soap, currently three guys just out of college & doing very well with their cooperative. The DVD's to be out soon, just adding a Spanish translation option to them now.
