Gary:
They have a freecycle group in Port Alberni - and so I joined up
after reading your post! To me it's just another avenue for giving away -
and at my age and stage of life - I'm dejunking and paring down - no more
kids at home full time - trying to have a simpler life - thanks for the
information looks like it's doing a good job here - I like that it's free to
everyone - free to give away (no dumping charges - or needless polution)
free to get (can't get much better than that). Anyway thanks for making us
all aware of another resource. :-)
