Suzanne

I'll be #7!

We'll be #8.

Patty & Mike

(Why do I say "we"? -- because Mike enjoys receiving them as much as I do)

I desperately want to get in a post card mailing sounds like so much fun. I don't live by any lighthouses or have postcards any ideas on how to get a supply?

Add Maureen Atwell from HL (Mo on the chats)
and the
Youngers 9 & 10.

Count me in!! Will you remind us before July?
That will give me plenty of time to find just the right postcard.

Count me in again. I'm still collecting the cards i want to send out.

I have been getting assistance from many sources to get my booty.

Dennis

JoAnn

21
Lainey1973 are you in, you'd be 22?

If you have room I sure would like in?

Terry D

25 has been the historical group but I'll leave that up to Dave who has been kind enough to do the count and foward the addreeses to the group. Are you volunteering again, Dave? THANKS!
Bob

Geez Bob, put me on the spot why don't you! I was going to offer anyway, but I wanted to be #25. I think Lainey will participate - we have communicated and I offered to acquire some cards for her next week. If she is in, she is 23, I am 24 and we have room for one more.

Still plenty of time, though - this exchange shouldn't start until July 1st so we all have plenty of time to reload. As a mater of fact, I am making not one, but 2, trips to the land of the rolling blackout to get more post cards. I will be accepting donations to help offset the cost of these cards.

Give it a bit and then e-mail me with you snail mail address IF you have not previously been in a PC exchange that I was in.

Dave

[This message has been edited by Dave H (edited 03-28-2001).]

OK folks, here is how I see it. At this point there are 23 players + HL. (I have included Lainey since I brought her back some cards). There is room for ONE MORE participant, or if we go back to John's original rules, 2 (25 + HL).

I have compiled the address listing and will need addresses from Lainey, JoAnn, Punkin, TD and CarolZ. Please email them to me at dhannum@iquest.net . No big hurry at this point. Please be sure to include your screen name as well as your complete snail mail address.

There is no big hurry as this exchange is supposed to run 7/1 to 12/31. We still have 2 exchanges underway (and I have to work on getting those cards out!) By the way, I am very dissapointed that no one stepped up to contribute to offset my expenses involved in actually being able to obtain lighthouse postcards. Had I not been able to obtain proper cards, you would have been receiving cards depicting Kokomo's world renowned steer and stump . So, be sure to send those donations!

Dave

Hey Dave, ...If you need one more to complete the "PC-5 Team", add me to the list. Just let me know if I'm in.

Many thanks,

Bob

Keep your cows and trees to yourself, Sir Dave! Montego, Jamaica ...Kokomo. Now yeh want to bring a tax upon your loyal postcard participants? Lighthouses just lighthouses, 5 in Indiana, I believe? LOL

If you use John's rule... and there's room for 2... count me in!

I would say that closes it out- you agree Bob? We use the 25 plus HL rule, we are officially there. I already have addresses for Bob & Medic, so when I get the last few I will distribute the list.

I'm thinking that I will have to get one of our graphic gurus to add a lantern to the bull and then send that card on its way to Long Island. No tax on the group Bob, just trying to recover some of my investment to get the cards. I know I can count on a generous check from the (edited so I don't lose my access).

Anxiously waiting for those checks to roll in,

Dave

I got 24 + 1, Dave. I counted HL as one of 25 originally. Dave, when you're making the list you'll would know for sure? Thanks again! Checks made out to Cash?(tic)

Bob,
I don't care how you make out the check, just send it to me.

Did you count Lainey as part of the group? I have 25 names + HL (Maureen is in as Maureen, Bill would be the "HL").

Dave

All right, we have 25. The sign up is closed. This group will run from July 1 through the end of year. Please use "Postcard -envelope 6" (postcards with envelopes) for new sign ups for the same period. http://www.lighthousekeepers.com/forums/Forum32/HTML/000028.html

Bringing this foward for Bob. List will go out by July 1. Right Dave?

what list are you referring to?

List has been sent to all. Todd & Judy, you need to contact me concerning the list. Your e-mail bounced. Anyone else who does not receive needs to let me know.

Dave

Well, folks it is July 2. (Almost the 3rd according to the forums.) Who will be the first to get their cards in the mail?????

Dave

Well I will probably send mine out later this week if I can remember where on the computer is the address list.

I purchased some great new cards that I hadn't seen before at coastal area stores.

Bob

I'll see what I can find while I'm on my trip. Surely, there will be some cards of some of the more unknown lights that are sure to pop up in front of my camera lens.
Derith

Well the new one has started.Today I rec'd a card from Sheryl Iovanna a very nice one of Cape Henry showing both lights post marked
5 JUly and arr.7 July.Thanks Sheryl.Bill O'Brien

Got Sheryl's as well, really unique and nice addition to our collections. Mine will go out sometime in late August after a few trips this summer to look at a few!!. Don't forget to get a guess in on round 2 of the Name the Flame game Pic next Thurs 7/12.

Well I have rec'd my first card and got mine in the mail on Friday.Let the games begin.Bill O'Brien

Two today - Sheryl's of Tibbetts Point & Bill's (OSeabee) of Spring Point at sunset. Both great cards.

Dave

Mailed my cards Wed the 11th,however it took a package via parcel post 23 days to come from Nevada to Astoria!So if you don't receive your card in a month email me!
JoAnn

Rc'd 2 more this week a beautiful sandy hook from Carol Z and a great shot of old point loma from Mo.Good to be getting cards again. Bill O'Brien

I received a Sandy Hook card from Carol today. Idiots at the post office cancelled it on the front (sometimes they just don't understand the concept of a picture post card. Fortunately, in their cost cutting efforts they are using some pretty low quality ink and I was able to clean most of it off.

Bill, you will find that Maureen's card is from the last exchange (first half of the year).

Dave

[This message has been edited by Dave H (edited 07-14-2001).]

The card from Mo was dated 9 July and regardless of when it was for last one or this one it is a very nice card and I really appreciate it.Bill O'Brien

I received JoAnne's card of Point Reyes with yesterdays mail. Another nice addition to the collection.

Dave

I received three great cards this week Sandy Hook from Carol Z, Statue of liberty from Beaconfollower, and Marshall Point from Bill O'Brien! Nice start to my collection. does anyone put them in albums to keep? what is the best way? Dave I was just wondering if I will get a card in the mail from you that may be the same as the one I'm sending, since your were the purchaser? LOL

A DAY ISN'T A DAY UNLESS YOU'VE SEEN A LIGHT!!
LAINEY

I bought a photo album for my card collection. It was one designed for 4x6 photos one to a page. Each plastic sleeves holds two cards (one you see on the front, one on the back.)

It was hard to find an album that didn't have a built-in paper dividing the front window from the back one. But I did find one. I picked this one because I could insert just one card and in each sleeve(after removing the removable paper) I could see both the front and back of the card -- so I could view those cards with messages on the back.

It came with about 40-50 sleeves.

I found it at Aaron Brothers.

If you want to make your own album, simply buy refills for photo albums. Most will fit in a standard 3 ring binder, so you can start with a small binder and move to a larger one as your collection grows. You can get refills in a number of configurations and sizes. I have ones that will hold 4 (2 back to back) and 6 (2 portrait pockets and 1 landscape pocket) in 4x6 size. I also have some that will hold 4 5x7 size, as we have received some oversize cards. There is no divider between front & back, so you can display your cards and be able to read the message on the back.

These normally cost about $2.50 - $3 for a pack of 10 pages. Find them at Target, WalMart, Staples, Office Max and any related stores.

Want to get fancy? Use a view binder that has a cover you can insert a page in. Make up your own special cover that tells what is inside.

Dave

p.s.: Lainey, NO
