Moving a Local Group to Freecycle.org from Yahoo Groups

This is a Guide for moving a Local Group to Freecycle.org from Yahoo Groups which hopefully answers questions for those Moderators whose local group is currently on Yahoo!Groups, and are considering or in the process of, moving their group on site directly. See also the Guidelines for Moving on Site once you've decided you are ready.
