My group wants a donation or deal for our cause

I have tried 2 or 3 ways to allow this type of ad
"My group wants a donation or deal for our cause"
When I let just anyone place ads like this I have had club officers contact me and say "He/She has no authority to be asking for items/services in our clubs name" so I end up in the middle of it and I don't want to be in the middle of it.
When I have let individuals place ads like this I have had instances of the person then taking what was donated to another site and auctioning it or selling it. I do not want to be in the middle of that either.
I am all for groups/clubs/good doers getting deals or gifts from those willing to donate them.
I have set up a new FORUM:
"My group wants a donation or deal for our cause"
where an AstroMart member can ask for donations of time / goods/ deals off retail etc. It will be up to the giver to determine if the group deserves their help and do the background work to be certain they are actually going to a good cause.
If you see someone place a request for donations please refer them to the new FORUM:
"My group wants a donation or deal for our cause".
Thank you

This is now the place to ask for donations.
I have tried others and I always end up being the bad guy and I am really not interested in that anymore.
If I won't let a non officer post an ad I am a bad guy - If I let a non officer place an ad then the officers complain.
I have really kinda had it.
ATWB and the Yorks do at least our share of donations to the astronomical community and I encourage anyone that can to give - HERE is the place to ask for donations for the time being.
Posts put on the classifieds will result in deletion.
Thank you for asking.
