Last week there was a presentation on time banking at Monmouth University. Ashley Lobbato and several other dedicated staff members at MonmouthCares are working toward implementing this program in Monmouth County.

The slide show that was part of last week’s presentation can be viewed at the link below. It was created using an application called Prezi that allows for imbedded videos on some screens and takes a minute to load once you click on the link. Take a look to learn more about this really cool initiative.
