Mailroom Monday: August 9, 2010
One card was picked out of the box to represent "the" 500,000th....it happened to be one by Martha B from Santa Rosa, California. It's a sweet little back-to-school card using a Mo Manning image...darling! Here's the card making its way into a box and off to the Post Office - en route to Camp Delta in southern Iraq!
And here's Carmen - one of our favorite USPS clerks! She's always got a smile for us, asks how things are going, and wants stories - we'll be sharing some of these photos for her to post on the P.O. bulletin board!
Thanks to all of you who have handcrafted every one of those beauties - they may say it takes a village to raise a child, but it takes a whole nation to make half a million cards!
And now on to this week's report....we shipped 4500 cards at a cost of $162.50....and our first box ever is on the way to deployed heroes in Egypt. The ship pictured for the Navy unit is the actual vessel it's going to!
