ReUseIt

I just noticed that my Freecycle.org Yahoo! group email now says it’s a ReUseIt.org Yahoo! group email list!
I figured I’d check it out and it seems that ReUseIt.org is similar in many ways to Freecycle.org.
Go check it out and see for yourself! Most of the people I know used and loved Freecycle.org , so I have a feeling that ReUseIt.org will soon be a favorite, too!

Please visit http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Interim-ReUseIt-Danbury-CT_USA/ and subscribe to the email list & join ReUseIt!

*Edit
Freecycle has changed and is no longer what it once was. Please join ReUseIt because it is a phenomenal resource!

Family Builders

Family Builders is a single parents group that meets on the first Friday of the month. They meet at the First Baptist Church of Fairfield. For more information and to sign up for their mailing list, please call Ellen Mallozzi at (203) 374-9702 or (203) 334-3303.
I do not know if they are affiliated or associated with the church where they meet or with Family Builders Ministries.
What I do know is that it is a nice group of people who genuinely care about one another and they are very welcoming. Their gatherings are filled with child-friendly and parent-friendly activities. Kids of all ages are welcome.
I found another single parent group that was closer than Fairfield, but it had age restrictions for both parents and children and their outings/activities were geared toward a more “outdoorsy” and toward an older crowd (children in their group ranged from 6 – 17 and the average parent was 40+). I did not meet their criteria, so I could not join their group – they didn’t specify what that criteria was (though I suspect it was that my daughter was less than a year old at the time and I was/am 30). I didn’t mind being turned down by them because most of their outings were hikes in the woods and mountains and I am not keen on hiking with a toddler!
