VIMF tickets for sale at The Broken Spoke at 50% Community Way!

These are announcements from Michael Linton (open money development group):

  1. There are a (small) number of Music Fest tickets available for cw$75 + $75 (+ tax) at the Broken Spoke Coffee House (871 2229). So please don’t miss a great event if you really want to be there and have cw$ to spend.    Policy is a maximum of 2 tickets per business on the first pass, and while there may be more later, it’s more likely not, so get your call in now if you want some.
  2. We are going to call each of you – the underwriting businesses of thecommunity way program - to ask for a meeting of perhaps 30 minutes or less, hopefully sometime in the next few weeks, preferably in person, but perhaps by phone if that’s more convenient.

It is now almost a year since the Comox Valley community way was  launched, and now we want to meet each of you individually to exchange information on this first year’s experience – what’s working / not working etc etc – and to review current and imminent options.  We want to hear what you have to say, and we want you to know what’s in planning.  You might find a moment to review thischart and perhaps check on your on-line account – but this is not urgent and will be covered in any meeting.

While these meetings aren’t in any way essential, they are very much recommended.  There are good reasons to predict considerably more activity in the coming year than the last, and it pays to be prepared.  Besides, as part of the introduction process covered by your cw$ registration fees, you already paid for this meeting, so there’s no cost like that – it’s only a matter of your time.

So this (email) is your notification that someone (probably me) will be calling soon, hoping to find a convenient time to talk, and to listen, at more length.

Cannabis for Health Forum

The North Island Compassion Club (NICC) is holding a Cannabis for Health Forum on Sunday April 25, 1-4pm at the Florence Filberg Centre in Courtenay. Admission by donation (CDN$ and cw$) or free.

Presenters include Ted Smith and Gayle Qin from the Cannabis Buyers’ Club of Canada, based in Victoria; Mik Mann, a licensed grower and Marijuana Access Regulations Advocate; a panel of NICC members; and plenty of time for questions and discussion.

According to the Canadian Government website, “Health Canada grants access to marihuana for medical use to those who are suffering from grave and debilitating illnesses” such as chronic pain, multiple sclerosis, cancer, epilepsy, HIV/AIDS. Since the program covers fewer than 4,000 people in Canada, many use compassion clubs and friends to secure good, clean cannabis.

Although smoking is the preferred method for immediate relief, there are many other ways to use cannabis as edibles, oils, salves, & balms. Ted and Gayle have developed 29 edible and skin products that are now available through NICC and their recipes are available at http://www.cbc-canada.ca/recipes/cbcoc-official-recipe-book

To join NICC and purchase cannabis products requires proof of medical/therapeutic condition. For more information, see the Cannabis for Health Facebook group or phone 250 871 5207.

Comox Valley Community Way – currently at 65 businesses & cw$125,420 & counting!

It’s been just over a year and we currently have 65 businesses accepting cw$ as payment for their goods and services. Go have a look at all the participating businesses who are making this initiative work. They are, after all, the places where you can spend the good money.

I also have it on good faith that LUSH Valley Food Action Society want all the cw$ they can get. Anyone from the Comox Valley willing to donate cw$ to LUSH Valley can do so by visiting the Hub and dropping some cw$ bills into our jar. If you have an online account in the community way system – most people who join the program have these accounts to allow paperless transactions – you can contribute by going to the DONATE page on their site, logging in and then transferring funds to account name: lush.

You can also get to the cw$ online accounts login page quickly by clicking on the cw$ seal in the sidebar –>
