Greetings Tacoma Area Freecycle(TM) Members!!
NOTE: This is a 5-week ADMIN that will be sent once per week through the first week in April. If you do not wish to participate, feel free to delete it.
Membership
We have over 6400 members! We just might cross another threshold this month with your help. Tell everyone you know about Freecycle and watch us grow.
**********
A helpful tip from one of our members: a lot of Freecycle messages end up in bulk/spam folders. Please check those frequently.
**********
Who posts Received? When you've posted a Wanted post and then been gifted the item, please remember to post your Received post.
**********
Location--Including location on the subject line helps people to see how much impact their gift may make on an environmental level, but also it may inspire your neighbors to respond when they recognize the local area you're from. It is required on EACH post submitted.
*****************************************************************
I thought we'd try this again this year since we received so many wonderful comments about it last year:
Today kicks off Week 1 of the Spring Cleaning Challenge. The Challenge is to see if there is an item or two in your Kitchen and/or Dining room that you can Offer on Freecycle.
Remember the idea is to make a little space in our homes before the warmer weather brings guests and new adventures into our lives.
Go dig deep into the backs of your hutch, cabinets, and pantry for items you haven't used in years.
Or, are you planning on getting any new table covers, place settings or cookware for your entertaining? If so, I'm sure there is a member who would put the old ones to good use.
What about those old grocery bags? Someone might have a use for them. How about your old egg cartons? Join the challenge and see what nifty things you have to offer!
Stay tuned for next week's challenge!
