    Lightbulb Please, say Thank You!

    Please, say Thank You!

    Did you send that summit photo you promised? Drop a postcard to that favorite hostel? Send a note to that maintaining club? No doubt you remember seeing those kinds of postcards and photos displayed proudly at many hostels, stores, and post offices. They really do mean a lot to those that receive them.

    Mailing addresses for almost all the AT folks are in the ALDHA Companion and AWOL's book.
    If you need help finding any addresses, post here or drop me a line. I'm positive we can find any addresses you want.

    Vistaprint will do 50 postcards for $7.50, Staples is about the same.
    'Thank You!' cards come in 8 packs for a buck at Costco.

    You also can get creative - I remember Pat Shaw getting a 'Thank You' drop box of her very own once, with a card signed by dozens of hikers, some cookies, and a hand-made hat and mitten set! Pat really loved getting cards from 'her kids.'

    Thank you!

    "[ATers] represent three percent of our use and about twenty percent of our effort," retired Baxter Park Director Jensen Bissell.

    I sent quite a few and got some responses which I didn't expect, they are definitely appreciated.

    A great reminder. Thank you cards and letters are quickly becoming a forgotten practice, sadly. But they are always appreciated
