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!)

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?Last edited by SadieKate; 08-29-2006 at 08:31 AM.

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

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??
Don't think of it as getting hot flashes. Think of it as your inner child playing with matches

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
