Topic: Please drop me a note if you are participating this quarter

ITS THAT TIME AGAIN...............

If you want to continue participating, please drop me a note so that I can include you in this quarter. If you are new and sent me a questionnaire, please remind me so I can go back through my messages and pull them out. If I sent you a questionnaire and you haven't returned it yet, please do so ASAP!

I will give you all until Wednesday at 9PM to contact me so I can get everyone assigned by the weekend. Usually gifts should be sent out by the 15th if at all possible, but, the first quarter tends to run late due to holidays.

If you had problems with your pal and haven't contacted me yet, please let me know right away.

Looking forward to a great year!!!

Thanks.

Lisa,

You will receive a questionnaire to fill out (have I sent you one?) which will tell your pal a little bit about you. On it, you will list things you collect and the kinds of things you like.

As far as how much you spend, that is totally up to you a long as it's at least $10. Most of the pals I have personally had, all but one have been terrific and have either gotten tremendous deals or they have spent more than $10. I always spend at least a little more than that, but again, it depends on what your pal likes and what kind of deals you can find!

The "secret" part is up to you and your pal. I made up a fake name on this site to use to contact my pal and I think others have done the same. Others "out" themselves up front. Totally up to the 2 of you.

If you have other questions, let me know.

Thanks.

Rona

Topic: Questions about how this works

I'm signed up to participate starting in January. I do understand the requirements of weekly (at least) contact and monthly packages. Just wondering how people contact their pals. Once we send the first PM, they'll know who we are, right? Not to mention the return address on packages. Which is fine with me, just wondering how others have done it. I suppose I could send a regular email, but my email address is my full name so that's not so "secret" either LOL. Of course, maybe the idea is that they may know our names, but they don't really know anything else about us?

Also, what kinds of gifts have others sent/received in the past. Again, I know the "rules", that it's a $10 minimum... just wondering what types of things are normally sent (and I suppose the price range - is it normally right around $10, or do people spend a lot more?)
