You all-- please put that form letter in a safe place. You will need that password to get your gate pass for PIR!

So excited,came home from work and my older daughter is waving a letter at me as soon as I walk in the door! Finally the "Form "letter arrived.It felt so good to read those few lines at the bottom from my SR.Now the family can post all the letters we've been writing for 10 days :)

beckmcs: I saw where you started another 350 group up top. I posted the link on your group to mamaof5's group. You may want to join hers and then delete your group. We really only need one for each division so you all can get to know one another.
-
-
Mamaof5: If you can, scan the photos on a sheet of paper, front/back, collage style. Even on the back of your letter. They have very limited space to store things up there and that way, they can have more photos at one time.
Thanks for stepping up to the challenge, Sheila!

Any one want to take over for me? I started this group, then found out my daughter's PIR is actually 10.14.11. So, I hate to leave group,but I really need some help to take over page. Thanks!

Thank you for the info. I will send him stamps in this letter and see if he wants me to send paper and envelopes. I like the idea of making up the self addressed labels. I'm also going to include some photos. Are they allowed to have photos a couple weeks into BC?

Geez...I only got one stinkin' letter (son. Okay he DID get pheumonia!)...that I LOVE because it is on RTC stationery. I'm going to copy and frame it!
Oh and the questionnaire...but I don't count that as one whole letter...only half as I had to do all the work!

Lala: There you go! The difference in the amount of letters that GIRLS write compared to BOYS! Mine said before he left that he wouldn't be writing, but he would call. Well, he changed his mind on that in a hurry and actually wrote a couple of pages each time...HUGE for him. Of course, they are MADE to write to someone. So I guess that is why I got 5 letters from him! :-) I'm glad I did!
