NO!!  I don't want to organize this!  If someone else does and there is
enough interest then they may do it.

Pretty good, huh?  I know about your pal.  Sends about every other month,
but sends enough for both months.  I know what she is doing for August, she
said something about it being a very special month for you.
We are ending the exchange the end of August.  If someone wants to reorganize 
it to continue on the rest of the year, that is fine.  I have figured out
who my pal is and I know that she sends to me regularly, but hasn't received
a package herself in ages!  If someone wanted to reorganize it so that people
who aren't sending are dropped and the ones that are sending are in it that
would be fine.  The only way to get some of this info though would be to get
it from Robin.  Good luck on that!
Later!,
