It was bound to happen sooner or later, but it certainly came sooner than I expected. The Letter Writers Alliance now has over 400 members! Yippee! That means you all get a nifty little gift from Kathy and I. This will be the next-to-last free mailing that we will do. Our final one will be for 500 members. After that, I have to ask that you send in a S.A.S.E. for the freebies. Purchasing or making the gift isn't what's breaking my little piggy bank; it's the postage costs.
And remember, if you want in on the free mailings, you MUST send us your address and membership number for the database. Signing up for the Pen Pal Swap is not the same as sending in your info for the database. Unfortunately, we can't just apply your ship-to addresses to the database because some people give the memberships as gifts or buy multiple memberships. Believe me, I tried just writing down everyone that ordered and it did not work; so we ask for members to get involved. It's baffling how many people don't send me their information. Here's the list of currently missing members:

Just email me your info if you'd like to be in the database!
I'm a new member (#424) and would like to sign up for the mailings, but I'm having a bit of trouble with your email link (entirely my fault I'm sure since I'm no computer whiz). Would you mind sending me an email at iamcschaefer AT hotmail DOT com, and then I can send you my mailing info in reply? Thanks, love your blog and links!

This looks wonderful - I can't wait! When I first saw this photo on Flickr, I wondered - how the heck much MUST all that cost? I could do the math, yeah, but ... it must be astronomical. Y'all are generous and I appreciate it. Whenever it's time to send in SASEs, I'll do it happily.

My precious little booklet arrived this week. Thank you so much! Finding the LWA was such a treat :-)

Thank you so very much for the notebook! Mine has a great cancellation stamp urging me to 'join the Red Cross roll call'. And yes, I also support the move to SASEs when necessary. Also, saw your products in person at The Curiosity Shoppe last week... wonderful!
