(Re)Labelling Letters, Cutting Up Flyers and Deliveries

At the MSCC meeting Marilyne MacLaren suggested that letters not be sent to the council directly, but rather kept for her to take to them. Apparently, letters have a tendency to be 'lost' once they enter that bureaucratic quagmire. She suggested that the best plan is to collect them all so they can be presented en masse, in their most powerful and weighty form.

Certainly a good plan and certainly the right thing to do. But, ughh, I have visions of these letters never getting outside of my dining room! So far they've been printed, binned, reprinted, scrapped and printed all over again as I make mistake after mistake with them (and I'm not even going to think about all the trees that are being sacrificed in the name of adequate parking!). After all that hard work that Paula, Mel and Janne put in folding and labelling what felt like a mountain of letters, it has to be redone!

I have printed off a few hundred new labels which need to replace the old ones. I've also got a few hundred fliers printed that Mailin designed that need to be cut up and stuck on people's windscreens. And, of course, the letters need to be delivered.

So, if you're up for any of those tasks, please, either drop round. Oh, and if you do come round to mine, the doorbell doesn't work, so you might need to knock quite hard.
