Thank you to everyone who contributes to the Bank of I.D.E.A.S. newsletter. I actually ready it completely through (sometimes it takes me a couple of days) and I always find information to use or share.

I hope you are well and i think your latest newsletter in many ways was the most impressive one. It seemed to have a couple of really simple but substantial initiatives in it. I liked it!!

Hello Peter ..... I must say your newsletter is choc-a-block with so many fascinating and different articles worth reading. I wish I had one of those time banks right now! What an incredible innovative concept to recognise volunteering with so many applications. And your quotes always give me a chuckle and provoke many thoughts about my community.

I just wanted you to know that your BANK OF IDEAS NEWSLETTER is really wonderful! Not only is it thorough and diverse but also entertaining. I enjoy so much receiving it...I always look for articles & photos of you first and then sort of still expect to see something that relates to my dad, Dr. Ed Nelson (after all these years). So it's wonderful and also a happy reminder of my dad and our visit to your fair country as well
