I have noticed a card exchange list here, and this site will NOT
welcome card exchange people from this group. Yowie is doing a great
job and there will be no stepping on toes, or on paws on my part.
Gift exchange only.

Why aren't RPCA folks welcome on the RPCC list, if they are members of
both newsgroups? Or am I just reading that wrong?

Do folks in RPCA want a SecretSanta? Bit late for this year, but could
do it for 2012.

Oh, RPCA people already have an RCPA card list, maintained by you i
believe, I think, and nobody wants to step on your toes here.

Ah, I figured (hoped) thats probably what you meant, but thats not how I
read it. My apologies for the misunderstanding.


Sekrit Santa gift exchange is another matter. RPCA has no gift
exchange at present and anyone who wants to sign up for that before
Dec 1 is welcome.

Gifts mailed to outside the USA would probably be late in arriving,
but within the USA there is plenty of time left.

Thanks for inviting us! You're very kind, and I for one appreciate the
thought.

Sad to say, but whilst I would love to participate, just sending the
cards (as most of mine are overseas) throws my budget out. I could not
afford to send a gift overseas too (especially when for some
inexplicable reason it costs an extra $9 to send a parcel to the USA
'because of security' but if I sent the same parcel to Canada or Mexico,
it would still land at LAX ,and would still be handled by USA mail
services, but I wouldn't need to pay the 'security fee')
