group that introduced

me to Freecycle. It was mentioned back when we were discussing the Clubfoot

Swap idea. I joined the freecycle group of a neighboring county that day and

have also started a budding group in my county. Thank you. I really enjoy it

and the concept is wonderful!

Freecycle is a a nationwide organization (freecycle.org) that is divided into

local groups..online via Yahoo Groups. In the groups people post things they

have as OFFERS, clothes, books, furniture..everything. that can be imagined

as long as its legal, free and appropriate for all ages. Then people reply

privately asking for the items, if you get picked then you pick the items up

(keep

in mind the groups are local). Also works the other way, you post what you

have as an OFFER and people email you asking for the item, you decide who gets

it and they come take it off your hands. You can post Wants and people reply

offering what you are looking for too. Everything has to be free though, no

trading, no bidding, no selling. Very neat. You should check it

out..freecycle.org.

I have gotten Kaitlin lots and lots of clothes...some consignment quality,

some worse and some better....either way, they were free and she will wear

them. I also got a futon frame...it is really nice. I gave away a printer,

some

picture frames, curtains and a calculator...more space to put the stuff I get

from freecycle now :-)
