VIMF tickets for sale at The Broken Spoke at 50% Community Way!
Posted by admin in Comox Valley, cw$ on 04/07/2010
These are announcements from Michael Linton (open money development group):
- 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.
- 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.

Comox Valley Community Way – currently at 65 businesses & cw$125,420 & counting!
Posted by admin in Social Media Solutions, cw$ on 19/02/2010
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 –>
COMMUNITY WAY MARKET DAY THIS SATURDAY IN CUMBERLAND!
Posted by admin in Comox Valley, Social Media Solutions on 02/12/2009
Got community way dollars (cw$)? Here’s your chance to spend them with local businesses, support community groups, and listen to fine music by Rodrigo, Joanna Finch, Larry Ayer, and Amanda Sullivan. Its not just fun and games either, although cakewalks, door prizes, and meat draws will be great entertainment. It’s a unique fundraiser for 26 community groups doing important work in the Comox Valley.
All vendors at the community way market at the Masonic Hall in Cumberland this Saturday 1-9pm will be accepting cw$ and Tarbells will be providing food and drinks for cw$ as well.
If you don’t have any cw$, you will be able to buy them at the market from any of the 26 registered community service organizations through the community way exchange. Any cw$ you don’t use on the day can be spent at any of the 55 registered businesses in the Comox Valley http://communityway.ca
Registered businesses and community organizations will be able to draw cw$ on their accounts through the exchange at the market or through community way exchange agents Broken Spoke Coffee and Bike Shop or Surecopy.
New businesses and community organizations are welcome to join and will be able to register at the market.
