We need your help

[vinbek]

Since we are a family of avid cyclists, I thought I would post this here:

My daughter is in a contest at school to see how many postcards she can receive from the 50 states. Each postcard must be postmarked from the state where it is sent. The contest starts today, August 29, 2006. If you see this and feel inclined to help a 10 year old win a pizza party complete with ice cream for her class, please send to Stephanie Livingston, 601 Bali Court, SAn RAmon, CA 94582

Thanks! Bekki (her mom!)

I'll send one out today...it's from the Roger Williams Zoo in Providence, RI.

I'm heading to NH next week.. and I border on Mass...let me know if I can send out additional cards from these states. I love projects like this for the kids!

[PAP103]

I'll send her one from Gloucester, MA

[SadieKate]

So, domestic mail (ie., Kahlifoneea as opposed to those furriners north and east) is good also? I'll see what I can find downtown today.

editing: Bekki, are you trying to get multiple cards from each state or just get as many states as possible?

[jobob]

If she wins, could you post a photo of the party ? :)

pizza and ice cream ... yuuuum ....

[SadieKate]

Forget the photos. Post the date. Not that I'd crash it or anything.

Hey, jobob. Be on stand-by for a high speed pick-up . . .

[chickwhorips]

one will be coming from Alaska.

can you mail me up a slice of pizza and scoop of ice cream?

[chickwhorips]

small world now that i write down your mailing information.

we have a Anna Livingston Memorial Clinic here in Cold Bay, AK. have any relatives that made it up this way?

[Eden]

One on the way from Washington - its Tacoma and not Seattle, where I live, but it happened to be in my desk drawer at work.

[Triskeliongirl]

one headed your way from texas. good luck!

[CorsairMac]

picking up one from New Mexico and tell her how fun!!

[margo49]

Well since Israel recieives about $7.7 zillion in aid and weapons and endless support from the government of the US of A perhaps it would qualify as a state too! I will send one anyway.
Go Steph, you little ripper.
Make sure the olives on the pizza are green as I do not like the black ones.

[limewave]

I'll send one from Michigan!

[Running Mommy]

I know I've got one from AZ here somehwere.. Consider it in the mail!
Hope she wins!!
Denise

[DrBee]

I'll send one from Mississippi and Tennessee (if I can find one at the airport this weekend).

[DrBee]

When does the contest end? I might be able to send one from Louisiana, too.

[eofelis]

One is on the way from Colorado!

[SJCzar]

I'll send one out from Wisconsin tomorrow.

[corrine]

I'll send two! I live in Maryland and work in West Virginia.

[CyclChyk]

I also will send 2 tomorrow as I live in South Carolina and work in Georgia!!!

[Trek420]

[DrBadger]

I'll send one this weekend from Minnesota.

[Lise]

There's one winging its way from Chicago, Illinois!

[Tater]

I'll see about digging one up from Idaho.

[cindysue]

so glad to see you all are helping out my good friend Bekki. Her daughter is a sweetheart and Bekki is one of those people who would do anything for anyone. And she is really supportive of women in cycling here in the bay area.

Get those postcards out :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

[AuntieK]

A Utah postcard is on its way soon. :)

[Running Mommy]

The one from AZ went in the mail yesterday. I even wrote a bit about the town it was mailed from. I sure hope she wins!!

[Beverly Fay]

Is this domestic only, or would one from Ireland count? I'd gladly send her one!

Regards,

Beverly

[solveig]

I'll send an Iowa card out tomorrow. What a cool contest!

[eclectic]

There will be one on its way from North Dakota!

[SadieKate]

Bekki, are you trying to get multiple cards from each state or just get as many states as possible?


When does the contest end?

Bekki, you out there? What's the word on these two questions?

[littlegrasshopp]

One from NC and Arkansas. I'm working on Oregon too.

[crazycanuck]

Does a postcard from australia count in the contest?

[vinbek]

thanks so much for your help. I am overwhelmed with your genorosity. We need one postcard from each state and it must be postmarked from that state. the contest started this week and ends when the first class gets all the states collected - could be weeks or months. Thanks, Bekki

[Triskeliongirl]

well, just post what you are missing after a few weeks, and we'll see what we can do. some of us may have trips planned, etc.

[quint41]

She'll be getting one from Connecticut!

[uforgot]

Sending one out from Missouri.

[ladyfish]

I can get you one from Virginia. DC too, if I can get up there to mail it. If anyone else can do DC, holler.

[Beverly Fay]

Well, I sent one from Dublin anyway. Hopefully, it will carry some cachet with the contest judges!

[margo49]

Sending mine from Israel tomorrow - it is a HUGE panorama of Jerusalem about 3X regular size!

[vinbek]

Well, I sent one from Dublin anyway. Hopefully, it will carry some cachet with the contest judges!
The teacher thought postcards from out of the country would be great, but they won't count towards the pizza!!! Thanks, Bekki

[massbikebabe]

Massachusetts chiming in...

and if I can get down south a little I'll pick one up from Rhode Island...


karen

C'mon New Yorkers, help the kid out!!

[mary9761]

I'll try to pick up a postcard with some cool pics of downtown Indianapolis, Indiana:D

[Beverly Fay]

karen

C'mon New Yorkers, help the kid out!!

If no one from New York steps up shortly, I can get one of my cousins to do it!

[Evie]

I'll send one from PA!

[makbike]

I'm dropping one in the mail from the Commonwealth of Kentucky. I plan on asking my family in Tennessee to contribute as well. If I make it to Indiana tomorrow I'll search for an Hoosier card.

Best of Luck!

[Duck on Wheels]

No can do any US states just now, but I can send a postcard from Hell (Hell, Norway). No post office there any more, so the postmark will be from Trondheim.

[short cut sally]

I found a nice one from New York, will get it shipped out tomorrow..

[Xrayted]

Well, it looks like Evie's got us covered for PA but I'm heading to Delaware this w/e so I'll take care of that one. Tell Stephanie good luck! :) :)
-X.

[Bikingmomof3]

I do not see Ohio covered, if someone from Ohio sent one, let me know. Otherwise I will track a postcard down and mail it off. What about Wyoming?

[quint41]

Update please. How's she doing with her collection? I just put one in the mail from CT.

[roguedog]

wow.. you guys rock! i'd send one.. but uh.. i'm in the same state

[hsmpcycle]

I'll have my sister-in-law send one from Wyoming. She loves this kind of stuff. I would be glad to send one from TN, but I think it's covered.

[PAP103]

I'm heading to Maine this weekend - will sent one from there.

[vinbek]

Everyone is so awesome! The postcards have been coming in - this is so much fun!! THE ONLY CARD WE NEED NOW IS SOUTH DAKOTA. We are heads and tails above the other two classrooms. We get South Dakota and pizza and ice cream are a fork and spoon away!!! Thanks so much everyone. Bekki

[margo49]

Wonderful!
Take photo's and post them.

I emailed the one TE member I know is from SoDak, hopefully she will get it and be able to do it. If not I will try to contact my friend's daughter who is stationed down at Rapid City. After that I am out of SoDak connections :(

I am from Northern NoDak so I don't get down there very often - in fact probably haven't been there for 15 years but was hoping to do the Mickelson trail this season but it will have to wait until next year

[KabyMom]

OK, got it covered.
One is on it's way from Watertown, SD !!

Hooray! ! !:D :D :D :D

Te ROCKS

so what kind of pizza do we all get to eat vicariously????

[eclectic]

One more thing

Would the teacher be willing to take some pics of the party (I know internet posting of kids can be troublesome - I too am a teacher) but even if it is of their backs it would be fun to see

I guess I shouldn't eat my pizza and ice cream before the card from SoDak gets there but I hope no one pulled ahead in the meantime

[vinbek]

WE WON!! We won the ice cream and pizza party. Today we received the last postcard we were waiting for. Everyone was so helpful. Thank you so very much. Bekki:)

[mary9761]

CONGRATS!! I feel bad that I never got the chance to get that postcard off :( Are you going to take a photo of her with all the postcards??

[Lise]

How cool! I am so happy for you! We most definitely want pictures! :D

[jobob]

Forget the photos. Post the date. Not that I'd crash it or anything.

Hey, jobob. Be on stand-by for a high speed pick-up . . .

I'll be waiting, SK !!!! :D

(congrats to your daughter, Bekki)

[Bikingmomof3]

WhooHoo! Congrats on the pizza and ice-cream party!
