Shelly,

I'd like to volunteer to work with your organization.
Specifically, I'd like to be a 'collection point' for
our neighborhood.  It's recently come to my attention
that many people don't know what to do with their old
computers (in fact, a neighbor gave me one yesterday
that she was going to throw away).  Our neighborhood
has lots of computer users (we distribute our newsletter
primarily via e-mail and have discussion forums online.
I could put out the word that they can call me to p
ick up their used computers and collect them for your
organization.

Interested?
