Hello! Do you think Freecycle(TM) is a great community resource? Is it
helping you clear out your clutter?

Do you wonder why nobody thought of doing this before? Maybe you
should be a moderator for this group!

Currently, the Tacoma Area Freecycle group is in need of additional
local moderators and we are asking for volunteers. If you are
interested, please read through these qualifications, and if you think
you meet most or all of the requirements get back to us as soon as
possible:

MODERATORS SHOULD HAVE THESE QUALIFICATIONS

*Must live in the area served by Tacoma Area Freecycle.
*Have a basic knowledge of the Freecycle rules. They can be looked up
and learned fairly quickly.
*Time! You should have an hour or so throughout the day and evening to
devote to moderating a group.
It is a volunteer position - there is no pay or tangible benefits,
just the joy of knowing you're giving back to your community.
*Computer, Internet access and computer skills. (Obviously another "must")
*Internet experience. Knowledge of Yahoo!Groups is a huge plus, but
not required.
*Writing skills. Correct spelling, proper punctuation, complete
sentences, and proper grammar are a must.
You must not type in "chat mode" or "IM mode." This means no all
upper or lower case typing!
*The ability to follow instructions. Guidelines have been set up for
all Freecycle group moderators to maintain
in order to be listed on the main Freecycle web page.
*A positive attitude and the ability to keep your cool when dealing
with irate or irresponsible members.
*An interest in environmental causes - you know that Freecycle isn't
about FREE stuff but about keeping stuff
out of the landfills and building community!

There are materials available to help teach people the tricks of
moderating a Freecycle group and there will be a more experienced mod
assigned to the group for a while. The ideal is to have two (or more)
local co-mods managing the group.

Tell us about yourself! Please let us know:

1. Your full name and where you live
2. The email address and ID you use on Freecycle
3. If you belong to other Freecycle groups and which one(s)
4. Any relevant experience that would be helpful for us to know.

If this sounds like something you'd like to do, get back to us right
away! And if you know someone else who would make a good moderator,
please pass this message on to that person. Let us know if you have
questions. We're happy to help!
