	~~=== Plan of Action for Mods for October 2017===~~
	~~On the 13th, 20th and 27th, if you use Facebook and/or Twitter, please make a personal appeal to your friends adapted from the text [[EBay_My_Favourite_Charity_2017~~#~~Twitter\|below]]~~

	~~On the 16th, please send both a Special Notice on Yahoo, and an Admin on FD, adapted from the text [[EBay_My_Favourite_Charity_2017#Suggested_first_Admin_to_be_sent_out_by_groups_to_members:\|below]].~~

	~~On the 28th, please send a second Special Notice on Yahoo and an Admin on FD, adapted from the text [[EBay_My_Favourite_Charity_2017#Suggested_second_Admin_to_be_sent_out_by_groups_to_members:\|below]]~~

	Do you know any people with large social media followings, or local community groups / Facebook pages? Please ask them to share something from the text at [[EBay_My_Favourite_Charity_2017#Suggested_first_Admin_to_be_sent_out_by_groups_to_members:\|below]].

	~~====Suggested first Admin to be sent out by groups to members:====~~

	~~Subject: Groupname: Freegle needs your help!~~

	~~Dear Member~~

	We need your help! I'm X, and together with Y and Z we're the volunteers who run this group. You may remember that last year there was a competition on eBay with a top prize of £7,000 for the winning charity. We were thrilled that Freegle won the second prize of £3,000. The good news is that this year eBay are holding the competition again.

	~~Freegle has basic running costs of around £20,000 a year, but no regular income other than member donations, so a prize would be a huge boost to our funds.~~

	Please can we ask all of you who use eBay to mark Freegle as your favourite charity? We are then in with a chance of winning some of the money eBay are offering this year. It costs you no more than a few seconds of your time, just click the link and select ‘save as favourite’ - http://freegle.it/ebay

	~~Thanks so much for your support, we really appreciate it!~~

	~~X, Y and Z~~

	~~====Suggested second Admin to be sent out by groups to members:====~~

	~~Subject: Groupname: Last chance to vote for Freegle!~~

	~~Hi again~~

	I'm X, and together with Y and Z we're the volunteers who run this group. You will have seen our earlier message about the eBay competition, in which we're hoping we'll get enough support to win a prize.

	Great news, we are doing well with lots of members already having nominated Freegle as their favourite charity. But the competition finishes tonight, so we would really appreciate anyone who hasn't yet nominated Freegle to help us out now. You simply have to click the link and select 'save as favourite' - http://freegle.it/ebay

	~~Thanks to everyone who has voted/nominated us so far and to those that are just about to do it! Fingers crossed for a prize, it will mean so much to us.~~

	~~X, Y and Z~~

	~~====Twitter and Facebook====~~
	~~There are a lots of Tweets and Facebook posts scheduled nationally to go out for the whole of October.~~

	~~Suggested basic text for tweets:~~

	~~'''"Please support #reuse and vote for Freegle to win a donation from @Ebay4CharityUK~~
	~~'''Go here >>> http://freegle.it/eBay~~
	~~'''You just need to save us your #favouritecharity – only takes a minute to do!"~~

	~~Suggested basic text for Facebook:~~

	~~'''Freegle is free to use but not free to run!~~
	~~'''Support #reuse at no cost to you >>> http://freegle.it/eBay~~
	~~'''Mark Freegle as your #favouritecharity via eBay for Charity UK and that counts as a vote for us to win a big donation - thank you!~~
	~~'''(it only takes a minute to do)~~


	~~Please retweet any you make on your group via https://twitter.com/thisisfreegle~~
	~~and share the FB posts via https://www.facebook.com/Freegle/ (that can be done via modtools too)~~

	~~===Member votes===~~
	~~You can see how many of our lovely members have voted for us so far - https://www.ilovefreegle.org/stats/ebay~~

	~~Users of Freegle groups receive a message with each email generated by FD - "Please vote for Freegle to win up to £7000 of much-needed funding. Save us as your favourite eBay charity - click here."~~
