Are you interested in joining into a post card round robin? Read on. . .

Round Robins are a group of folks who exchange post cards among themselves. A distribution list is established, with each person to receive the robin in sequence. They start with a leader putting a set of new, unused lighthouse post cards in the mail to the first person on the list. When the cards are received, the person should review them, remove cards they would like to add to their collection, replacing them with a like number of new cards and then gettting the robin mailed out to the next person on the list (this should happen within a day or two of receipt so the robins move along.) The robin is completed when the package returns to the leader, who is also the last person on the list.

Pretty simple rules apply:
• Must be new, unused card
• May have no more than 2 of the same card
• Need to move the robin to the next person within 48 hours or so.

As the robin starts out and is received by each person, they will post a note in a thread dedicated to that robin so folks will know where the robin is at. Depending on how many folks are interested, we may begin multiple robins so they don't get too large.

Interested? Sign in below if you are. If you have not participated in the last set of robins or post card exchanges (or have a new address) please email me your snail mail address. If you are interested in serving as one of the leaders, please also email me.

I'm interested either as a leader or participant; it doesn't matter to me.

Looks like we have the required 10 participants, St. Dave.

If any of you haven't given Dave your mailing address, please email him now. I'll include a set of mailing labels in with the Robin so you can send it on to the next recipient.

Not so fast, John. We are going to leave sign ups open for at least a week. We will see how many want to participate. We also won't go with 10 person robins as they are too large. We will be doing multiple robins that interchange members each round, similar to what we did last time. I will post when we close the sign-ups for this round, so folks, please sign up if you would like to participate.

If we can get 2-3 more folks here in the next few days we will start up with 3 robins. If not, we will have 2 slightly larger ones. Don't miss this opportunity to add some great new cards to your collection.

I'm going to close this Sunday and assign people to a robin, so if you are interested now is the time to let me know. You will next be able to join in when the robins have made a full circuit and are back at the originator - probably 4 to 8 weeks or so.

Sign up for this round is closed. There are 15 players, divided into two robins. John C and Darlene will be the originators of the first round. You have been sent an email about which robin you are assigned to (12 or 13) and will get another one from either John or Darlene with the order of the robin. They will also be starting threads for each robin for you to post in.

Keep the robins moving, and have fun. Hopefully you will end up with some new cards for your collection.
