After the success of the Holiday and Valentine card swaps, I propose we organise a few more opportunities to send nice things in the mail!
I was thinking Solstice, World Stationery Day (20 April) and World Letter Writing Day (1 September). If there is interest I am more than happy to organise and run these ones.

The Mefi Card Club got started from exactly this sentiment -- after the Christmas and Valentine's Day swaps, people were having such a good time that they wanted to keep on sending/receiving. I was actually thinking about making a Metatalk post, just to let newer members know that it's a thing. It just passed its 4-year anniversary!
It's basically an on-going card swap. You sign up for when you want to receive cards - this can be specific days, months, or every month, and then on a monthly basis, you get a form to let me know if you want to send out cards, and how many. I take those two inputs, do some matchmaking, a lot of copy/pasting, and then send out the assignments.
If you are interested, send me an email at meficardclub@gmail.com.
If you want to do larger , more specific swaps, go for it! I think your holidays are good ones. I'd probably sign up, at least for the solstice ones.

I put your comment on the sidebar, Sparky Buttons, but feel free to make a Metatalk post, too! (I can update the sidebar post to include it)
