    <h4>UMBC community 
    members are in need of coats, hats, gloves and scarves as well as other items.  Since we don't 
    have a coat closet, please join this group and post any warm weather 
    clothing that you want to give away on this group.  The items in your 
    closet that aren't being used would be greatly appreciated by our 
    community.</h4>

    <h5><span>THIS
    SITE IS NOT TO GIVE AWAY UMBC PROPERTY OR SUPPLIES.</span></h5>
    
    <h5><span> </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span>One
    person's "stuff" is another person's "treasure".  If
    students, faculty or staff have items they own, that they no longer need (that
    were not purchased with state, federal or grant money), they can post those
    item(s) here.  Anyone who needs the item(s) posted should contact the
    poster and arrange a time to pick up on campus during daylight hours in a
    location where other people are present.</span></h5>
    
    <h5><span> </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span>Anyone
    in need of anything can post an "In Search of",
    "ISO".  Anything that is legal, ethical, and doesn't hurt anyone
    is fine to post as an ISO or as a "giveaway".</span></h5>
    
    <h5><span> </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span>Suggested
    items to give away or request are coffee makers and other small appliances,
    hats, coats, gloves, scarves, furniture, etc.  </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span> </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span>Everything
    must be clean and in good working condition, not recalled or damaged.</span></h5>
    
    <h5><span> </span></h5>
    
    <h5><span>IMPORTANT: 
    All items are free of charge.  No goods, services or money changes
    hands.  We have no storage space on campus for donated items, so all
    transactions are done on an individual basis.</span></h5>
