Post Card Round Robins - 08/11/06 05:16 AM
OK, it's been a while and a certain Yankees fan has been bugging me about re-starting the Post Card Round Robin exchanges. For those not sure of what these are:
• Exchanges should be about 6 people each.
• The exchange leader puts an envelope of 10 lighthouse post cards into the mail to the first person on the list.
• That person reviews the cards in the robin. They may remove any or all of the cards, but must replace with an equal number of lighthouse post cards from their stash.
• Robin gets sent on to the next person on the list.
• Repeat until the robin returns home to the person who started it.
Hopefully along the way the participants have had an ever changing selection of cards to choose from to add to their collection. With people from different parts of the country we generally get a nice assortment of US and sometimes international cards.
Basic rules are pretty simple:
• Must be new/not written on or mailed cards
• No more than 2 cards of the same light may be inserted into the robin. Want each recipient to have a nice selection of different cards to choose from.
• As noted before, cards must feature lighthouses. Lightships are acceptable.
• Each person should review the robin and have it back on the road within 2 days or so
Interested? Sign in below. If you have not previously participated please email me your snail mail address.
