1a.: ADMIN: October topics -- Please take a moment to read!

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

Dear Freecycle(TM) Members,

This autumn our thriving group has 6220 members and climbing!

We have an assortment of topics to share with you, please read each short bit.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I want to take a moment to remind members to try to post to their home group first.
Fort Lewis members should post to Lakewood Area Freecycle first.
This keeps things local and those who need base access are all on the same list.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

One member wrote:
Perhaps you could post another warning about checking the spam folder, and adding people you reply to on your contact list. If you don't, the answers to your replies may be sent to spam and you don't get them if you don't check the spam folder. But this week I have had several who have written to tell me the item was mine and when I reply as to when and where, I never hear from them again.

Member #2 wrote:
"very helpful to have cross-streets listed with the location. It helps to know where someone lives."

Another member wrote:
I like how you wrote the ADMIN: The Return to School Challenge #2. I hope it yields a lot of supplies for kids who need 'em. I know that my kids (and I) generated a lot of slightly used office supplies, and the folks who put on those school supplies drives in the summer only want new items. I had not thought of Freecycle for finding families who would use the used materials. Thanks.

A few more members wrote in inquiring about posting multiple items. If you have multiple items to offer, you can post them in separate messages. However, please consider putting similar items into one message and numbering your items for clarity.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

WANTEDS
Freecycle is NOT a gigantic free department store. Please limit the number of wanteds to 3 per 7 days as stated in the guidelines and keep them reasonable. We're not here to furnish your apartment or house. Freecycle is not a charity, nor is it a place to ask for help. Keep the long stories out of the Wanteds.

It is OK to say you need a thingamabobie.
It is NOT OK to say that hubby lost his job, the dog died and your four kids need a purple grey thingamabobie for school.

Just ask, no story needed.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

LIMITING THE NUMBER OF WANTED POSTS
We are planning to do an overhaul on the number of Wanted posts members will be able to post in the near future.

We would like to hear any suggestions that you may have in how to change the guidelines on Wanted posts. We will be creating a poll and asking our members to vote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BORROWING and the TACOMA AREA FREECYCLE CAFÉ
Reminder: Borrowing is not allowed on Tacoma Area Freecycle, but it is allowed on our community group TAFC-- Tacoma Area Freecycle Café. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TacomaAreaFreecycle_Cafe/

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

SUBJECT FORMAT 1-2-3
The 1-2-3 of the subject line:

1. Begin each subject with Offer, Taken, Wanted, or Received
2. Include your item (a one or two word phrase works best)
3. End each subject with your home location in parenthesis
Make sure to use EITHER your city OR crossroads!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Thanks everyone for being such a great group!

3.: ADMIN: Please Vote in Our New Poll!

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

Mon Oct 18, 2010 5:18 am (PDT)

Dear Freecycle(TM) Members,

Due to popular demand, we have decided to amend the guideline regarding limiting the amount of Wanted posts.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

YOUR OPINION COUNTS!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

We would like to invite you to vote in our poll. We are asking our members to vote on the following question:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

What should our guideline on Wanted posts be?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The poll will close in approximately two weeks (depending on amount of responses we receive). We hope a majority of our members will take the time to vote. =^)

To do this, simply log onto the site and click on 'POLLS':
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TacomaAreaFreecycle/

Please do NOT post your suggestion to the group. If you would like to let the Moderators know your thoughts, please feel free to write to the Moderators at: TacomaAreaFreecycle-owner@yahoogroups.com

Please excuse our excessive ADMINs this month. Our site is constantly trying to keep up with the times and we work hard to keep it up to date for our members.

Thank you for being an awesome group!
Your Friendly Tacoma Area Freecycle(TM) Moderators

6.: WANTED: Carabiner Clips - Not for climbing (Roy)

Posted by: "H.L." lucky_equine_love@yahoo.com lucky_equine_love

Mon Oct 18, 2010 2:15 pm (PDT)

Hello all!

I am looking for quite a few carabiner clips; you may have some and not even realize that's what they're called (google, and you can see). They do not need to be the heavy duty one's for climbing. If you have any you don't use, I'd love them!

Thanks, Lindsay

21.: OFFER: Pewter Frames (38th & Thompson)

Posted by: "crochanna" crochanna@yahoo.com crochanna

Mon Oct 18, 2010 8:54 pm (PDT)

I have two beautiful pewter frames that need new glass. Both are 5x7. One is for baby photos and is separated into four sections. It is decorated with hearts, ribbon, a unicorn, a doll, a baby carriage, a bear, and a basket. It is really cute. The other has a network of roses and leaves around the frame. Both have their backing with a stand to hold them up.

I'd keep them if I thought I'd get around to putting glass back in them.
