March Madness is Here!!

Welcome to April, Ok, so it's technically still March but Spring is certainly in the air!! It's starting to get warmer out, and hopefully we'll soon all be able to open our windows on a regular basis.

This also means Spring cleaning!

Get out to that garage, up in the attic or down to the basement. Now is the best time to get that extra stuff moved out and into a new home!

FREECYCLE IT!!!!!! http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MilwaukeeFreecycle/

You'd be surprised what other people would love to have. Stuff you don't even realize you still have. How about that thingamajig you have in that dusty box in the back corner of your basement. I know it's safely guarded by a field of spider webs, but if you arm
yourself with a metal bowl on your head to protect your hair from getting dirty (please wash it before you cook the family dinner, well, if it's for the in-laws, it's up to you), goggles to keep your eyes safe, some earmuffs to keep critters out of your ears, gloves to
keep your hands clean, and a bio-hazard suit to protect your clothes, you can make it through the army of webs and get to that box. Then you can FREECYCLE IT!!!!! (and get the webs out of there too) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/MilwaukeeFreecycle/

It'll be fun, go for it. You never know, someone might actually really really really need that thingamajig, and you might be the only one that still has it.

We are locally run and moderators are local to the area we cover. My group has the area within a 22 mile radius of the 53202 zip code. We serve the Greater Milwaukee area as well as Bayside, Bay View, Cudahy, Brown Deer, Fox Point, Franklin, Glendale, Greendale, Greenfield, Hales Corners, Oak Creek, Saint Francis, Shorewood, South Milwaukee, West Milwaukee, Whitefish Bay, Wauwatosa & West Allis, as well as a few more I've probably missed.

Like I said above -- If your home zip code (check it out on Google Maps) is within 22 miles of 53202 you will fit right in. If you are outside of that area but are still interested just give us a shout and we'll point you toward one of our sister groups in the area. Waukesha, Kenosha, Ozaukee, to name a few also have a great Freecycle program going, with the same great intentions that we have. Please don't be fooled by some of the imposters out there. We are and always have been the real deal!
