It is really an excellent idea. I was planning to organize a walking paper mail out in my home town in a few months to see how it could work out. I was planning in my case to contact the mayor office to see if I could coordinate with them if they were interested. The idea of postcard is very good. If you need help, let me know I will see what I could do. Emilie Laffray
