A Lighthouse Postcard Round Robin #6 is about to start. Round robins are a bit different from usual postcard exchanges, and can last a long time as long as everyone stays honest and keeps the mailings/postings current. It's a great way to exchange and build your collections. Please read the following comments and general guidelines as they are applicable:

1) For USA mailing addresses only Standard size postcards only, no oversize cards please.
2) An envelope with 10 lighthouse postcards will be sent to you to look over. Select any or all of the 10 cards you are interested in keeping. Replace the removed cards with the same amount of cards that were removed, always keeping 10 cards in the “robin”. Duplicate cards are welcome, but please do not put more than 2 in the same robin cycle.
3) Cross your name off the list provided and mail the robin to the next person WITHIN 5 DAYS of your receipt. Notify that the RR has been received/forwarded by posting a note to the thread, thus keeping all advised of current status. One must have the capability to post to the thread to be eligible for participation.
4) If during the course of the RR, you become unable to comply with the mailing requirements common courtesy would be appreciated with a post to the thread so stating the delay. All will understand as we all have these (vacations, illness, business travel, etc). It is the individual responsibility of each of us to keep current with the status of the RR.
5) I will administer RR#6 and start it off once the listing is complete. A person can remove their name from participation at any time by notifying me with a simple email note.
6) All postcards (std size) added to the robin must have a lighthouse on the front and must be clean and unused.
7) I will shuffle the mailing order after each cycle and send them out again.
8) This RR#6 is limited to 10 people. So if you are interested post your willingness below and email me your name, address, and forum name and mention RR#6.
9) As of now there are eight(8) openings left as two are included already:
1. Pharologst
2. Mombo Sue

Joyce

Don't forget to email me your addresses, (#'s 5 ,6, 7) as well as future signeees!!

Sign me up too

George, can the postcards be ones we create ourselves?

Darlene

Yes, so long as they are about std postcard size, and are well done. If you yourself wouldn't mind receiving them then they are probably AOK.


LADYBUG is #8.

Great idea Darlene! I think we can get a better variety of cards if we can include postcards made from our own photos. I cannot even begin to count the times I've been to a lighthouse and there are no postcards of it to be found anywhere.

If I counted correctly there's still a spot for me
JoAnn

Joann is #9. Only one more spot to fill !.

Still need responses from a few signees above. After we get #10, I'll give those not responding a email nudge before I reopen it to fill any slots.

Looks like we can start this in about a week. I'll post a new thread with the RR#6 list and start off the mailing.

Currently:
1. Pharologst -confirmed

I, myself, would prefer "real" postcards. Many forum people, including Darlene, are very clever at producing postcards, greeting cards and the like (while I am not ) I certainly don't mind receiving these items and appreciate the work that goes into them. I'd say it would be fine to include some of these here but I wouldn't want to have too many in the mix.

It's true that many lighthouses either don't have postcards available for sale, or if so they tend to be on the expensive side as they are "money makers" for the lighthouse. That's fine if you only want a few but when you are buying in quantity they can certainly add up. And then there are also many lighthouses that you just can't find cards of anywhere. In these types of situations if would be nice to have a "handmade" card.

George,
If it's still available, we'll take #10.

Welcome Tom & joyce, you are in fact #10 and take the last available slot!!!

I will prepare the package in a few days and start a thread for posting when I mail it out.

THANKS GUYS & GALS!!

SIGN-UP IS CLOSED FOR RR#6

George,

I've been away form the computer for only two days and already the sign up for RR#6 has started and ended before I even knew it was going to be.

Could you please also do a RR#7 so that the rest of us can get in on the fun too! And if so I'll be the first to sign up!!!!!!!!

Shortcake

Sounds like a hint to Mombo!
