Although the thermometer is reading 87o and I have no idea what happened to the other 9 months that have supposedly past to now,
it is technically time to start thinking about mid winter card exchange.

I wanted to know if there is interest in doing this again, I have no problem handling the coordination again this year.
I figure we can start taking names early, give people a chance to get organized.

let me know what you guys think.

*edited to add appropriate information*
Here is the info-copy and pasted from last year- It was good the first time, no need to mess with it ;)

This is in conjunction to and apart from the MidWinter Exchange.
I am sure most people enjoy sending and receiving cards so here is your chance to show your fellow rennie some love this winter season.
Rules-no signing people up for weird newsletters, if you want to participate you have to provide the information. The card can be store bought, hand made or not even in traditional card shape-its really up to you. I don't think anyone here would mind a nice posted note via messenger pigeon  ;D

If you would like to receive or send cards please provide the following in a pm to me. DO NOT post it here for everyone in the interverse to see.

1- Your Name-you can include your screen name just make sure you include enough of your real name that your mail carrier knows who to give it to.
2- a physical mailing address- doesn't have to be your home address but obviously a real address you actually receive mail at.
3- acknowledging that you give me permission to share your information with fellow board members who would like to send you a card. -Just write

Deadline for joining the list is November 23rd
I will send the list out to everyone involved by the 25th of November- everyone will receive the complete list. It is up to you how many cards you send out.
that way you should have plenty of time to send the cards out by the first week of December.

Does that sound good??
If anyone has a suggestion or idea please share.

And the gift exchange, too!!  I'll make a post to start that one going in about 2 weeks.

Thanks, Auryn, for heading up the card exchange again. :-*

If I can make it to the Texas Renaissance Festival on the Saturday after Thanksgiving (24-NOV-12), I was going to see if some of the venders were selling unique Greeting Cards.  If possible, could you post a "count" of the submissions you've received by the 23rd or 24th, even if you don't send the list until the 25th?
