Sample Admin: New local Freegle Community opened

(This is a sample admin message you can ask a neighbouring community to send out.)

Dear members,

A new community has opened for (insert community name and URL).

We ask that members use their home community first when offering or requesting items.

If this new community would be your home community, please consider joining it now.

Using your home community first has personal, collective, community and environmental benefits:

Reduces competition for items
Reduces no-shows
Saves money - by reducing the amount of travel members need to do to give and receive items
Reduces abuse of the system, since a smaller community is less anonymous - members get to know each other better, which leads to fewer bad behaviours
Makes Freegle more accessible if you don't have transport
Means bulky items may be collectable on foot if they're only a few streets away
Reduces the number of messages per community
Increases good neighbourliness and local community spirit
Reduces the environmental impact of the distance travelled

With thanks from the $groupname team.
