MSBA Parents Group Clothing and Equipment Program
By Hyacinth Bellerose
The MSBAParents Group is a new online discussion list solely for member parents within the MSBA. To join the group, go to the MSBA’s new web site (www.msbaweb.org) or send me an email at hbellerose@msbaweb.org.
Recently, the group has begun implementing a clothing and equipment sharing program. It is a vehicle to allow parents to give clothing, shoes, equipment, etc. to other parents within the group. Items that might be passed on include: shorter than usual pants, shoes without the innersoles, walkers that no longer fit a child, etc... All of these items are unlikely to be used by other children, even when donated to a worthy cause. We hate to see them cluttering up one house when they could be getting used in another!
The rules for this program are simple but must be followed to maintain privacy for all involved:
- Post an email on the MSBAParents Group offering free clothing, shoes or equipment to other MSBA parents, include as much information as possible;
- Include your direct email address at the bottom of your offer;
- Indicate if your offer is “all or nothing” as we do not want to make this a hassle;
- Conduct all transactions within private emails;
- Once the clothes are given away, do a quick email to the group indicating that the items are taken but do not mention the name of the person to whom they were given.
Please note that all members are still welcome to provide equipment listings for the MSBA newsletter or web site and do not need to be a part of the MSBAParents Group to participate in any similar newsletter or web site offers. If you have any further questions, please call Hyacinth at 978-649-8724. Thank you.
