Corvallis Freecycle!

Howdy ho!

I would like to share some great news with you today!
The local newspaper, the Gazette-Times, has run a story on the local Corvallis Freecycle group that I started three years ago and moderate.
You can read the whole story here.

It took me almost three years to finally contact the paper and ask them to cover the story about our local branch of Freecycle. The interview was Monday and went pretty well~!

Deep down, I was kind of hoping it'd be a front story kind of "Story Next Door" series that they do (complete with photo!)...but the little article on page A3 is not too bad I guess ;)

The story's had a positive effect on the Corvallis Freecycle group already.
This morning there were 974 members...and now at 11:30pm are 983 members!
So that's 9 new members in one day. Not bad! Hopefully, as the week wraps up, there will be even more. Maybe I'll even get more aggressive with advertising and put flyers up~?

Yay for Freecycle~!
If there isn't one in your town yet, go ahead and start one! Let's keep more junk out of the landfill and circulate our excess, rather than hoard it!

Until next time, take care and Happy Freecycling!!
