far-flung as the BritishWest Indies.
Services are freely shared--not traded. Each member commits to provide service upon request, up to the weekly maximum she or he stipulated upon joining. There's no maximum applying to services used.
Members offer the full gamut of services: professional, technical, creative, instructional, domestic, and blue-collar. Anything useful is welcome, as long as it's offered without charge of any kind. Out-of-pocket expenses are paid by the receiving member.
Available health-related services include massage, hypnotherapy, traditional psychotherapy, aromatherapy, weight control, guided meditation, and electrotherapy. Members also offer singing telegrams (accompanied), artwork to order, driving, party services, music instruction,
jewelry repair, top-level photography, tennis lessons, academic tutoring in virtually any subject, and hundreds of other free services, even hotel stays. Services are added continually. View more current services here.
(A small number of members have their own websites, links to which are found at this page.)
OUR LOW FEE: Your total cost is only $59 a year (under five dollars a month), plus a one-time registration fee of $66 per household. The entire initial amount of $125 can be made up easily by a couple of services, and is guaranteed for thirty days.
