SBN currently has around 40 members with an active website and frequent e-mails. Join by clicking on the Yahoo! group’s link on their website (search “Scottsville barter network”), though you don’t have to be a member to access the directory of goods and services (sustainablescottsville.com/barter).
The group has an open meeting the first Tuesday of every month, in the likeable form of a potluck dinner around 7pm in Scottsville Park’s gazebo. According to Michelle Maggiore, “our meetings are congenial and rarely very business-oriented. People just mention things they’d like to do or get help with, or local news, and then thank people for other things accomplished since the last meeting.”
