Thanks for your interest in participating in the Spring TimeDollar Fair by sharing your skills with our community! To do so, you just need to follow these three simple steps:
Deadline for entering a Service or Item into the Fair is Thursday May 12th!
1) Decide what Offer you’d like to enter
Please note that your service or item should fit within the Offer Categories we are showcasing: Home Improvement Services, Yard and Garden Services, Summer Lesson Services, and/or New and Gently-Used Yard Sale Items.
2) Login to your SkillShare account and create a NEW Offer Ad following these instructions:
a) Click on the “My Profile” tab and then the “My Services” sub-tab
b) Click on the “Add New Offer” button
c) IMPORTANT! For the Category, select 
Community Activities > Miscellaneous
This is so that all Spring TimeDollar Fair Ads will be in the same place and therefore easy to find for all members
d) Start the title of your Ad with “Spring TimeDollar Fair Offering – ” so, for example, “Spring TimeDollar Fair Offering – Vegetable and Herb Seedlings”
e) List all important details in the “In Detail” box including any limitations (for example, I will only provide this service to the first two members who sign up at the Fair) and the TimeDollar price and any reimbursement for materials requested (for example, this service/item costs 4 TimeDollars plus reimbursement for garden plants).
For an example of what your Ad should look like, login and go to the Community Activities > Miscellaneous category and check out Laura McCall’s Vegetable and Herb Seedlings Offer.
3) Show up at the day of the Fair!
