Welcome to the first annual Christmas Card Exchange Program! I hope all of you enjoy the program & that it brings you a little extra joy during the holiday season! I'm doing the rules & the way the program works here because it's a bit easier than updating the event since I'm on my phone.
Below, I will explain how the program works & the rules for participation.
How it works:
Each person that signs up will be required to purchase a minimum of three Christmas cards. I will select three different people for each person participating. You will send a card to each of the people selected for you by me. Please remember that a card for each person is the only requirement. No gifts are required. The minimum is three cards but if you'd like more, you can request more. The idea is that someone suffering the loss of a much wanted baby will receive a little extra joy during a difficult time of year: Christmastime. By getting cards from three different people, it gives the idea that someone else is thinking of you at a difficult time.
Rules for participation:
1. You should purchase three Christmas cards. Each card will be sent to a different person. The names & address will be provided by me.
2. To participate, you must have an angel baby or have been affected by the loss of a baby (grandparent, aunt, uncle, brother, sister, ect.). You can also be a friend that just wants to help. I have a few fans that are supportive friends of angel parents.
3. Sign up cut off date will be Monday, November 18, 2013.
4. If the person (or people) selected for you lives outside the country you live in, the cards are to be mailed out by Monday, *December 9, 2013.
5. If the person (or people) selected for you lives within your country, the cards are to be mailed out by Monday, December 16, 2013.
6. If you need to drop out of the program, please notify me via Email at mamasbby84@aol.com. I understand that unforseen circumstances can come up, life happens. I can take the people you have or find someone else to take them. Please remember, Christmas is a hard enough time without adding grief. We want to bring joy, not take it away.
7. Any type of card will do as long as it's Christmas related. If anyone has a specification such as no religious cards, please notify me. I understand that people have different religious beliefs. I respect everyones beliefs, whatever they may be.
*The date is earlier to allow time for the cards to get to their destination. I know things can get backed up around the holidays. We want the cards there by Christmas, not after.
I will be posting on the fan page closer to the end of October to get everyones address. This will not be a secret so you should include your name on the cards. The most important thing is to notify me if you decide to drop out. Anyone that drops out without notifying me first will not be allowed to participate in any future programs.
Rules are subject to change. If any changes are made, I will update everyone immediately. You don't have to be invited to join the program. Anyone is welcome to join. I'd like for everyone that signs up to like the fan page for the program so updates are visible to everyone. If you know anyone that has lost a baby that you think could use extra joy this holiday season, please let me know & I can add their name & address and I can get cards sent to them.
Thank you, everyone, for your continued support of the program!!
