    Dear Friends, This invite note is a follow-up to my earlier communications regarding a new interactive webinar series that I would like to add to our current Community Action Network gatherings. Here is a link to more information about these current gatherings:  http://timebankswork.net/tiki/tiki-download_file.php?fileId=463 Our Wednesday, January 17, 2018, test interactive webinar attracted two participants.  The test interactive webinar worked easily for us and I’d like to try this again. The theme, Creating Abundance, feels like a good focus for the Community Action Network. If there are no objections, I'd like to use Creating Abundance on Subject line for these particular interactive webinars and email conversations.
