Getting Postcards from the United Front of ActiveRain

Real Estate Agent with Mapleridge Realty, CT 203-206-0754 REB.0759001

Getting Postcards from the United Front of ActiveRain

 

I have been helping my Grandson Raphael and his class with a project for school. The task is to reach out to friends and family across the country to get postcards with postmarks from the states as well as including 2 facts of that state.

 Getting Postcards from the United Front of ActiveRain

 

The response from friends, family and ActiveRainers has been very positive but there are still a few gaps to fill over the next month.

 

The missing states are detailed as follows: 

 

Alabama
 Arkansas
Colorado
Idaho
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Louisiana
Minnesota
Mississippi
Missouri
Montana
Nebraska
News Jersey
New Mexico
New York
Ohio
Oklahoma
Oregon
Rhode Island

South Dakota
 Tennessee
Texas
Vermont

West Virginia 

 

 

I have been making attempts to reach out to fellow Rainers that I have befriended along the way, but there are still a few are that need attention. Any assistance we can get from others would be greatly appreciated.

 

All postcards should be mailed to:

 

REMAX Professionals
945 Queen St N
Southington CT 06489

Attn: Raphael Antonacci

Again my heartfelt thanks go out to all that have been gracious enough to respond. The post card count is currently at 49 with a card sent from Washington DC as well.

Hey Ed... our daughter lives in Missouri. I will ask her to send out a card.

And I see you are missing one from Colorado. I'll ask our other daughter who lives in Colorado to send you one. And I'll ask our granddaughter who's a sophomore at Vanderbilt to send you one from Tennessee. And I'll try to rustle you up one from Texas via our grandson who lives in Houston.

Nina Hollander   We got a post card fo CO with no name on it so I am going to presume it was from your daughter

Sally K. & David L. Hanson   Yes the state was covered, but if you find one, it would still be appreciated. Plus it would put you in the running for the final secret surprise.

Ginny Gorman   I have held back from a direct reach out but as the list was prepared I wanted to contact my special friends for a little help

Susanna Haynie   When I saw the list you immediately came to mind, Thank you.

Michele Cadogan-Cell 917-861-9166   That would be so cool.  Thanks so much.

Hey, Endre Barath, Jr.   I am starting a more direct approach . I sent out a few emails last night but got distracted as they generated some return phone calls and the night then got short

Nina Hollander   Yes, I did get the card from you last week. Your extended family will fill a lot of voids, thank you so much. We have a niece that lives outside of Asheville and just yesterday we talked about her sending a card as well. What we also discussed was our visiting that way at some point and for sure I would like to drive down to the Queen city for a cup of coffee with you.

Ed Silva hi Ed... I've already heard from my grandson in Houston and he said he'll get something out with interesting TX facts this week. Would love to see you when you are in Asheville... it is about an hour and a half drive, so we might want to make it lunch!

Thanks for reaching out to me Ed. I'd love to help your grandson reach his goal by mailing a postcard from Mississippi. The trouble is where to find a postcard! I'm hoping my local drugstore can help me with this task. Tell Raphael to be on the lookout for a card from the Magnolia State soon.

Wrigley Field post card on it's way... and my daughter (in Cleveland) will be sending him one, too.


Hope that helps.

Ed - I just posted a bunch of cards for Rahpael. Hopefully most will meet the requirements. If not I think he'll at least enjoy the cards.

Carol Williams   Kathy reached out to offer Texas with my first post, but so far may not be familiar enough with the state as nothing has been sent from her.
