Help An Interesting Lady in Return For Free Board
LETS Can Help With Grey Nomads Willing To Share Skills
June 2, 2008Meeting Petroleum Needs With WWII Technology?
June 3, 2008Maureen is an active ‘young’ Melburnian in her sixties – BUT she’s broken her leg and is now getting around on crutches and can’t drive her car or do any of the other things she normally does. Her Sydney-based son found PWF on the net and thought we might be able to reach someone interested in approximately 3 months free board in return for some light home duties and driving Maureen to doctor/physio appointments at Outpatients at the Austin Hospital.
About Maureen
Maureen sounds like an ‘up and at it’ person and would be an interesting companion:
- She has run a 4 star Bed & Breakfast in Perth, for which she did a lot of the renovation and interior design and which featured in several magazines at the time
- She describes herself as a ‘travel addict’
- Maureen loves good movies and is a member of the Dendy Club
- She loves gardening and her California Bungalow has a nice garden in tree-lined May Street, West Preston
- Maureen loves animals. She is involved with the Guide Dog movement and also with the Canine Teaching Hospital at Sydney Uni.
- Maureen Lives in May Street, Preston West, Melbourne.
Diamond Valley/Northern Suburbs LETS May Be Able To Help
After speaking with Maureen it just so happened I was contactedby Annette Loudon from Sydney LETS (Local Exchange Trading Scheme). I had no idea how broad LETS’ interests and community involvement is, so, checking up, I rang a Melbourne branch this morning to see if they might be able to help Maureen. The answer was ‘yes’ they do do this sort of thing and they would put out the request. 6 months ago this request could have been filled immediately, but today a search will be necessary.

Hello I am a 47 year old Journeyman electrician and I am trying to become a volunteer in the Peace Corp.I have submitted the application and have met all there requests.However I have been told that there are no volunteer positions in the skilled trades at this time and that its advisable for me to get some volunteer experience in the meantime.So maybe I could be a volunteer to Maureen?
Namaste,Roy Lyons
Thanks very much for your offer Roy – Maureen has managed to get some help through LETS. Good luck to you with your volunteering.
