Hi all,
Kristie made a suggestion in her b'day thread but I don't think anyone saw it so I'm going to repost it here. I think it could be a fun thing to try out if people are interested.

Okay, I had this idea for a birthday card exchange kind of thing. Now that my birthday is over, I can introduce it and not have anyone think I just want cards

Anyways...is there any way we could do a birthday card exchange. Maybe anyone willing to get them could PM Isa their addresses. However, your address would then be given to anyone who PMed Isa for them to send one, so you'd have to feel comfortable about more than one person getting it. I think it would be really cool to get a birthday card in a foreign language and stuff. What does everyone think?

I realize that there are lots of members and this could be costly for people sending a card all the time. That's why it's voluntary and you wouldn't have to send one to every single person. It was just an idea to discuss
