Nancy Gallant’s Summary

At this point, I am working to bring my innovative vision for a mission-driven business enterprise to reality. In a financially-self-sustaining business model, I am creating a "repurpose center" where members of the suburban community will be educated, inspired and empowered to live an authentic, personally fulfilling life that includes increased awareness of, sense of responsibility toward, and efforts in support of, socially-conscious and environmentally-friendly lifestyle choices and activities.

At Time Well Spent, opportunities and activities will include monthly DeCluttering For Good donation drives; introductory and ongoing self-awareness presentations, classes and events; common challenge support groups; common interest and environmental workshops; sales of original art created by artist members using recycled and upcycled materials; and an ongoing and inspiring re-use program that takes recycling beyond the typical expectations, to the next level of increased awareness, responsibilty and opportunity. You may read the details of the planned space at http://twsblog.wordpress.com/layout-and-use-of-space/ .
