ONLINE CONNECTION & ELATION
There is no way to deny the internet and social media have allowed us to be connected in more ways than ever. This round robin links virtual relationships to snail mail! We all love happy mail, I mean, that’s why we are here. Sometimes, especially when starting out, the wait for those first postcards is painful because it can take so long. That is what is nice about the forum and RR’s! They allow us to make connections with those we are meeting virtually and turn it into something real. The internet allows us to connect with others we probably never would’ve met otherwise. And, that can be awesome…it can make you feel ELATED
This group merges the two things. Maybe it’s someone you’ve met on another platform or right here on postcrossing. Each month we will have the opportunity to send and receive multiple cards from our new friends! In this RR, you will share in your postcard messages and/or choice of postcards anything you’ve discovered ONLINE that makes you feel CONNECTED and/or ELATED!
All in North America are welcomed to join, but the round robin is limited to the first 28 people who sign up, including myself. If you have not participated in the past, please be sure to send me your address when you sign up. I will keep a master list of addresses, but if it is your first time please message me privately.
THE RULES:
- Sign up when the group is marked OPEN Sign ups will typically begin the last week of the previous month and end on the 3rd of the sending month. If the RR fills before that it will be marked CLOSED
- New participants must privately message me their addresses before I will add them to the RR.
- Participants must be at least 13 years of age.
- Only individuals may participate - no groups.
- You may not sign up for a new month if you have neither sent your cards nor reported having received cards for any previous month. If you reported having sent your cards, but no one has reported receiving your cards in a previous month, you may not join.
- Send one postcard to each member in the group, unless requested, please do not send in an envelope.
- Send all postcards by the 18th of the month.
- Do your best to send a postcard that matches the wishes of the receiver.
- Unless requested, do not send free postcards, TouchNote cards, flyers or folded greeting cards.
- Please sign all your postcards with your postcrossing username and the RR number you are assigned that month!
- Reports must include a description of each card received and the name/number of the sender before I will mark them off as received. Posts will not be marked sent/received without this information. It is much too difficult to check each persons name and number each month.
Example of sent/rec post… “Hi #00 here reporting all cards sent.” “Hi again #00 here reporting received cards from @ReadWithMelissa #1111”
You must post all your sent and received cards in this forum. Private messaged notifications will not be accepted. It is important you list the date, the number of the sender and the username of the sender.
I reserve the right to exclude unreliable and unkind participants!
MOST IMPORTANTLY
Remember why we are all here! Connection…elation…fun…friendship…So let’s remember to send and receive all items in that spirit!
If you have any questions please feel free to message me!
Happy Postcrossing! 
Once you’ve been added to the months RR you will find your name listed here. Please remember we can only take 25 members each month.
