Welcome to another round of the Pen Pal Letter Swap. This is a three month commitment that is from the month of August, September, and October. For each month, you will write one letter to your pen pal. In that letter, you will include the Topic of the Month which is a subject that you will write about, as well as a Twist of the Month or two. The Twist of the Month item will vary, so it could be something you could make at home say if it was a card, or something that is store bought-(something light in weight that will not cost so much. It is an extra treat that will go along with the letter). And each week, you are asked to check in. Check ins will open up on Monday, and end on Friday. It is MANDATORY that you check in. If you will be away during the swap period, let me know of the dates you will be away for.
I usually give the following months pen pal information the month before so that everyone can get a head start with their letters or finding their twists. Sometimes I write hints as to what the topic or twists may be in the check in thread. I ask that you read the entire thread since I sometimes post messages to individuals there rather then sending out a pm. * This is a way for me to see if you are checking the thread as asked. And also maybe your pen pal may have a question or comment to you.
Since you will be getting to know your pen pal in a more personable way, I ask that you not reveal much personal information on the board. Ex. I hope you have a great trip and add in the dates .. Feel free to chit chat, check in, and as you send out your monthly letter, please post on the board to let me know-(letters/twists need to be sent out by the SECOND SUNDAY OF EACH MONTH-no exceptions. You will have a lot of time prior to send it out if you have something happening during this time). And, as you receive your letters/twists, please post on the thread as well so that I, and your pen pal both know of the arrival-(please post of the arrival as soon as you receive it).
Sign ups will be till June 14. I will then match up names of pen pals, and it will be given to you at a later date either at the ending of June or the starting of July. I will again allow all participants to write their letters, and get their twists earlier then the actual send out month. This will allow everyone to be prepared and have no excuse to be sending late
right? Again, if you will be away during the swap period PLEASE let me know ahead of time.
