JOIN THE UPCYCLE EMAIL GROUP
If you find yourself 100 percent that person who has been voluntold that you need to declutter your home, or are looking to sell something to a fellow employee at a family friend discount, or is looking for something specific or giving things away, then this email group (upcycle@santacruzcoe.org) is for you! There are some ground rules for joining this group, and they are as follows:
No promotions or spam: Self-promotion (you're selling $5 necklaces or supplements as a side hustle, as an example) spam, and irrelevant links are not allowed.
Be respectful and respect people's privacy.
No listing pets for sale or automobiles: You can put that on the refrigerators in the break rooms.
Items purchased or sold/acquired are not held to any regulation, and you will agree to not hold the Santa Cruz COE responsible for any damages that may incur involving said items.
All emails sent to this group will be moderated, and anything deemed inappropriate or does not follow these rules will not be sent out to the group. You will be notified if your items are denied.
It should go without being said, but illegal substances are not appropriate.
More rules will be made up as we go along, and the group will be notified if there is indeed a new rule that needs to be added.
Any violation will be subject to you being removed from the group, and is not contestable unless you can do 75 push ups (off of your knees) without taking a break in front of a crowd of 10 that are all eating hot dogs around noon, and you haven't had breakfast yet.
