Hello Letter Lovers...

Take Letter Writing to Go

With the warmer weather, many of us are on the road to destinations unknown! Why not share a postcard of your travels? Worried about forgetting something vital to your snail mailing? Check out this community post about letter writing 'to go' kits. 

Archive Update

After a much needed admin day in March, I am happy to announce there are some 2,000 letters yet to be "featured" in our inventory. It took two days to detangle 6 jumbled series of 457 letters but they're sitting pretty in their numbered binders now! 

2nd Grade Penpals

When a teacher needed a creative way to get her students interested in writing, she struck gold with an idea for the kids to write letters to U.S. veterans. 

June Workshop

Our friends at From Me To You are holding a June Workshop! You can register here for an evening (or afternoon wherever you are!) of letter writing loveliness.

If you're looking for a way to get more proactive in your letter writing, check out the From Me to You 'Donate a Letter' project which matches your letters with folks experiencing cancer. 

Write More Letters

The 'Write More Letters' Project supports U.S. Veterans and Military Families through the sale of mugs, totes, and tees! 100% of the proceeds go to Hope for the Warriors.
