[Vision2020] Freecycle?

[Donovan Arnold]

Saundra,

This is kewl. I really like this idea. I was thinking, what if we let the 
student population know about this? They are always looking for stuff during 
the school year, and looking to get rid of stuff during the summer. I bet 
someone in Family Housing was looking for those little hangers you got.

Take Care,

Donovan J Arnold
