Here we go again another month coming and going!
Please remember that you should be focusing in getting your pal's gift out on time this month. Especially with the Holidays nearing us. We don't want to leave our pals stranded.
The month of November went pretty good despite of some people that never sent out their gifts and didn't even try to contact their pal or me to give an explaination. I had to shuffle a few people around drop a few members and so forth.
I want to thank everyone who has committed themselves to the program and has not let down their pal. Communication is the key and I ask every one of you to please keep the communication lines open with your pal. A word of encouragement in between mailing out gifts. Send an e card to your pal and let them know you are thinking of her. Just an email saying hello and have a wonderful day goes a long way. Yes sending the gifts on time is important but you need to build a friendship with your pal, and you get to learn so much from that person that a questionnaire does not answer. When you send your gift please write a personal note and mail it out with the gift just don't sent that gift out like that. You don't have to purchase a card just write a small note.
I would like to ask all of you to please make this easier on me and commit to your pal every month. Please do not wait for me to hunt you down by personal message thru OH or personal email to find out what is going on.
Luckily, I am a stay at home Mom but I have my hands full I have a 6 year old a 3 year old, I take care of my 16 month old grand daughter and I am 6 months pregnant. I went into preterm labor a few weeks ago and I am suppose to be on bed rest. I am not saying this so you all can feel sorry for me. I saying this so you all know that this is a huge task and it would be easier on me if you all would stick with the secret pal agreement.
Have a wonderful Holiday Season and please please comply!
I will be gathering all info for January 2008 and I will be getting all out to whom ever is participating by Dec 17th thru the 20th.
Thanks for all your help in advance.
P.S. If you have the need to contact me please do it by my private email [email protected] I have so many persoanl messages sitting in the OH that I have not had to time to read them all and answer them.
IF you haven't contacted me to let me know if you will not be or will be continuing the SP program for the new year. I will drop you off the program after December. (this is for the ones that have been participating from before Oct & Nov 2007) It is way too much work trying to track down everyone to see who wants to continue or not.
Thanks again!
I am who I am and accept my feelings wholeheartedly.
Those that mind don't matter, and those that matter don't mind.
