Freecycle Deanna

[Guest guest]

That's the big joke at my home. Donna, you drop off 2 bags at Goodwill and come

home with 3 filled with books and Levi 501's with holes.......LOL

Oh, I also gather food for the soup kitchen in my area and there's always

people at the end of the freeway ramp with signs for food, work, etc. Guess

what? I cook so much food that I bag up the leftovers and when I hot the signal

on the way home I hand them my vegetarian food. They love it. I have a whole

fan club out there on the streets. I have to do it, it's in my heart and soul.

Mya my niece is the same. Day after Thanksgiving we made tons of peanut

butter and jelly sandwiches and fed the homeless down on Melrose Ave. and some

areas in West Hollywood. It took only a total of 2 hours out of our 24 hr. day

to help others.

Hooray for you Donna. You will receive so many blessings for

donateing all the usable things to those in need. I do the same..In

our family we " re gift " and my daughter and I buy as many items as we

can from the ARC and Goodwill. We laugh as we drop off a bag and then

come out the door with a bag of *new stuff*. In the last week I

bought a pair of designer jeans for $3 and a pair of hand painted

earrings (signed by the artist) for #1..Sat. is 1/2 off sale. Anybody

need anything? LOL

Re: Freecycle

 

 

Donna,

I believe that the name and logo 'Freecycle' is a registered

trademake and one cannot use it. You would have to choose another

name and be careful not to infringe on their name.

You can start a local Freecycle using their name only with their

permission and instructions.

You have to have permission from freecycle.org to start a new local group. They

make sure that you are not in another groups teritory and no one near has a

problem with a new group. They willl provide assistance and mentor you through

setting one up.

Since freecycle is a trademark name and copyrighted name, you cannot start a

group without their approval.

There are some rouge groups that have sprung up, but they cannot use the name

freecycle so have limited success. With all the new stories recently about

freecycle, people will be going to freecycle.org to find a local group and won't

find a rouge group.
