This is a full grocery store sized bag of window sensors, control modules, etc...from ***. Great for doing your own home security. Must take entire bag and freecycle what you don't need. There are even a couple of light dimming modules, etc...lots of cool stuff. Would like it gone today sometime.

7.: ADMIN: The Return to School Challenge #2

Posted by: "TacomaAreaFreecycle-owner@yahoogroups.com" TacomaAreaFreecycle-owner@yahoogroups.com

Mon Aug 9, 2010 11:50 am (PDT)

Hello Tacoma Area Freecycle(TM) Members!

This month is the re-launch of the Return to School Freecycle challenge and promotion.

This is a long ADMIN but well worth the read.

Have fun. Enjoy - and remember, it's all for the kids!!!

MEMBER CHALLENGE:

Do you have one of those kids who insist on new things every school year?

Is it just time to do the out with the old and in with the new?

What do you do with the old, slightly worn but not garbage items?

1) Tell your child that before the official school shop they must complete the following:

Clean their room properly.

Find all their old pens, pencils, pencil crayons, markers, erasers, sharpeners, rulers, tape, paper clips, post it notes, liquid paper, glue sticks, etc. and gather them into one box.

Find all their binders, duotangs, folders, report covers, text books, notepads, ruled paper and plain paper into one box.

Find all their construction paper, craft supplies, paints, glitter glue, pipe cleaners, felt, pompoms, and any other craft supplies into one box.

Okay, you now have 3 boxes to sort through with your child and you make a Keep It Box and a Freecycle box.

2) Next you review all the old reader books in your child's room.

What have they outgrown that a younger child would love to read during this next school year?

Make another new Freecycle box.

3) Review your current dictionary, encyclopedias, thesaurus and reference manuals.

Are they ones you use?

Does your child do everything online and these never get touched? Pass them on.

Make another Freecycle box.

4) Next - fling open the closet doors.

What clothes will he/she not wear anymore?

What have they outgrown?

Whats not cool anymore (like we all care - not)?

Make another Freecycle box.

5) Next visit the computer desk (if they have one...)

What programs do they not run anymore?

What programs have they aged out of?

Time for newer more advanced ones?

Put the in the Freecycle box with the dictionaries, etc.

6) Proceed onward to the kitchen... and no not to eat!! Maybe a drink at this point though.

Where are the lunch bags, lunch boxes, snack boxes, juice containers, etc.?

If you don't know - ask Mom!!!!!!!! She ought to know.

Are they going to use the same lunch kit?

No, put it in any of the Freecycle boxes.

Containers getting worn - put it in the box.

7) Onward to the hall closet - or wherever they hid last years nap sack, back pack, carry all.

Will they use the same one this year?

If yes, put it away.

If no, put it in the misc school supplies Freecycle Box.

8) Last but certainly not the least - visit the garage or wherever they throw the old sports equipment.

When did they use that soccer ball last?

Or the old mitt that doesn't fit them anymore?

Have any Soccer cleats that they've outgrown?

How about Ballet slippers that are now just sitting, collecting dust?

Find all the not being used anymore sports equipment and uniforms and put them in a box!!

The end result:

A box of school supplies misc

A box of children's / teens books

A box of reference materials and computer supplies.

A box of clothes.

A box of sporting goods.

Whew!!

And what do you now have - ROOM!!!

PS: Don't forget that there are also college kids who will be looking for all the essential basics - plates, cutlery, cutting knives, small desks, desk chairs, small dressers, small bookcases, bed sheets, towels, desk lamps, posters. So if you are thinking it is time to get a new set of cutlery, please do - and post up the old uneven set of mismatching stuff cause they will really need them!!

Come on parents - it's time to Clean the Clutter, Get Creative, Get Feisty and Get those kids Returning to School!!

Have fun using The Freecycle Network.

Hello all!

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Yahoo! Groups have a planned outage for maintenance TODAY from 2-5pm.

Due to the outage the following may happen:

1. Members may not be able to get onto the sites during that time.
2. Posts may be delayed for up to three hours after the update.

This means that if you do not have access to the site, neither do the Moderators.

Thank you all for being such awesome members!
