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.

Dave, I'm IN! If you need another exchange leader, I can do that too. Just let me know.

I'm back - and just in time! I am in and ready with a new batch of beautiful cards! It appears I have lost some of my privileges - I'll bet I'm not even #14 anymore. I wanted to use a Brindfan critter and the system told me I'm not allowed to preview!!! Anybody listening?!!

Why? I think they help to convey emotions so well!

Great, 12 participants. I will leave this open thru Friday if anyone else wants to play along. We have enough for two robins, but one or two more in either of them would be fine. Lots of fun, and a great opportunity to build up your collections.

After a great first round the robins are taking a couple of weeks off while a number of us journey to Maine. If anyone would like to join in this next time please post a note here. If I don't have your address you will need to send it to me.
