So I think it’s time for a new postcard exchange, don’t you? I’m going to send out names 3 times (June, July, August). Here’s the basic rules (updated from last time) [ol] [li]You sign up here and PM/email me your info.[/li][li]I will send you 3 addresses of Dopers.[/li][li]You send each one a postcard from your part of the world.[/li][li]You receive 3 postcards in the mail instead of just bills and flyers![/li][li]3 Dopers will think you’re awesome and you’ll make their day![/li][/ol] If you are interested, please send me: (by PM or at melodyharmonius at gee mail dot com) [ul] [li]Your Doper Name[/li][li]Your Real Name & Mailing Address[/li][li]Whether or not you’ll send internationally[/li][/ul] **I’m going to make the deadline for _Round I: June_ as Midnight on Saturday, May 28th (aka 11:59 AM 5/28/2010 (EST))** Here’s my only requests: [ol] [li]Please keep the postcards SFW, since some mailboxes may be opened by small children.[/li][li]Please make sure at least your Doper name is legible so the recipient will know who it’s from![/li][li]Please post here when you receive a postcard and who from so i can keep track of active participants.[/li][/ol] _Previous Participants: Please note - I’ll be wiping the slate clean from last year as far as who has already sent to who so you may get a few repeats. But if you participate in all 3 months, you’ll get 9 unique names. I will commit to that much!_ ---

By the way - I will be distributing the addresses on Wednesday, June 1st for Round 1. We ask that you please send out your postcards within 2 weeks. That way your cards should be received in enough time to qualify you for round 2. Deadline for Round 2: Tuesday, June 28th Midnight - EST Deadline for Round 3: Thursday, July 28th Midnight - EST That way I’ll have a few days to figure out the grid each time. Thanks everyone! ---

thanks, **melodyharmonius**! I was just thinking about the exchange and wondered if you’d be doing it this year - I gather from your posts you’ve been a bit busy IRL. So thanks for running it again! I’m in - PM sent! ---
