PUBLICITY KIT
April is National Card and Letter Writing Month
(NCLWM). The 2004 theme is "send mail they'll treasure."
This year, NCLWM celebrates writing and sending cards
and letters to family, teachers, friends, and neighbors; to
fellow students; and to movie characters Shrek and
Donkey. NCLWM encourages sending greetings at Easter
and other times throughout the month.
The Postal ServiceTM has partnered with DreamWorks
to use the Shrek and Donkey images to help promote
NCLWM. Images will be used on various Point of Purchase items (April 1-June 30) to promote the release of
the movie Shrek 2 on May 21. Additionally, the Postal Service has approved a special cancellation die hub with the
Shrek image that will be used to postmark mail at Processing and Distribution Centers during this same period.
Postmasters and customer service managers are encouraged to help promote NCLWM by taking advantage of
the DreamWorks partnership and by implementing one or
more of the ideas in this kit or by developing a unique
activity of their own. All employees are encouraged to
participate.
Many individuals living in nursing s or assisted
living facilities have few, if any, people visit or send them
mail. Participating Post OfficesTM can host letter writing
projects encouraging schoolchildren to send cards to the
residents at Easter and throughout the month. Partner
with local nursing s and assisted living facilities to
provide stamps for the students' letters. Give recognition
to the participating schools and nursing s, such as a
National Card and Letter Writing Month "Certificate of Appreciation" signed by the local postmaster.
To keep the NCLWM momentum going throughout the
month, announce to local customers that each week will
be an opportunity to give thanks to a special person by
writing and sending cards and letters. Here's a sample
schedule that could be used for the month of April:
• April 5-9, "Give Thanks to Family" week
• April 12-16, "Give Thanks to Teachers" week
• April 19-23, "Give Thanks to Friends" week
• April 26-30, "Give Thanks to Neighbors" week
Participating Post Offices can work with
local elementary schools to organize a card writing project among classmates.
Partner with one or two schools and suggest 5th and 6th graders for
this project. Postmasters should contact greeting card publishers in their community,
using the Yellow Pages or the attached Greeting Card Association (GCA) membership
list (see page 6) to ask for free blank greeting cards. Start with the public
relations or marketing department when telephoning and mention to them that
- because of the GCA's "Greeting Cards for Kids" program - you hope
to obtain a certain number of blank greeting cards and to have them join as
a partner in this community outreach project.
You can also access the GCA membership
list online at http://www.greetingcard.org/members.html. Click on Cards
for Kids Program to learn more or see the attached summary of the program
on page 24.
Have each student prepare cards for two different
classmates using the theme "What I like about you is... ."
Suggest some positives phrases to the participating students. Examples include:
• "What I like about you is you always speak to me in
the mornings."
• "What I like about you is you always call me when I
am out to make sure I know about the work."
• "What I like about you is you always make me
laugh."
Be sure to encourage student creativity. The cards
should be addressed to the individual students at school
and distributed by teachers to student mailboxes. If students don't have mailboxes, you can create a row of
brown paper bags with student names on a wall in the
classrooms. School personnel can ask the school's Parent Teachers' Association for help in purchasing stamps
for this project.
Have students read the cards in the classroom and
vote on the best three cards. A possible prize could be a
certificate announcing the winner of the What I Like About
You contest, signed by the principal and the postmaster.
Work with community newspapers to have the letters published.
Many elementary school children have seen Shrek at
least twice. Shrek sends a great message of accepting
people for who they are. Post Offices can work with one to
two elementary schools in their community (suggest 3rd
and 4th graders) to host a letter writing project in which
students would prepare a letter to Shrek and Donkey
thanking them for a great movie and sharing the most important lesson they learned from the movie in 50 words or
less.
Have letters sent to the English and Reading departments of the participating school and give prizes for the
best letters. Letters can be judged by a committee of parents, teachers, or high school English students. Possible
prizes could be boxes of stationery and panes of current
commemorative stamps or movie tickets to the upcoming
Shrek 2 movie (call local theaters to ask for donated movie tickets).
• Work with a local school (suggest 5th and 6th graders) to encourage vacationing students to send
cards to classmates. Have students bring in all
cards received to share with classmates. Students
who have visited the most interesting places could
receive a prize, such as a philatelic item. Let students decide the most interesting places.
• Work with a local school to initiate a writing project
encouraging students to write letters or send cards
to a favorite author. Suggest that they write and
send a book review to the author or send ideas for a
sequel to their favorite book. Many English teachers
are looking for ways to help teach students how to
enhance their writing and persuasion skills.
• Work with community newspapers and schools to
initiate writing letters of appreciation to local police
or firefighters and have local newspapers publish
the letters.
• Work with a local school to initiate a writing project
encouraging students to write and exchange letters
with senior citizens from a nearby retirement center.
Suggest a field trip to the center after the letter exchange. This will provide a chance for the new "pen
pals" to meet, take photos, and build friendships.
• Work with a local library to initiate a letter-writing
workshop and/or contest. Give a presentation on
the history of letter writing (and share some famous
letters), the Postal Service, or postage stamps, and
encourage attendees to write about these subjects.
Be sure to publicize your community's, school's, or library's participation in NCLWM by using the materials in
this kit. If you have questions or need assistance with
publicity, please contact your area's Public Affairs and
Communications manager.

Dear [INSERT TITLE AND NAME]:
April 2004 has been designated National Card and Letter Writing Month by the U.S. Postal Service®.
The theme for 2004 is "Send mail they'll treasure."
National Card and Letter Writing Month is an opportunity to raise awareness of the importance and
historical significance of card and letter writing. Writing, sending and receiving letters, postcards and
greeting cards is a tradition that preserves our nation's history and changes lives. There's nothing like
a personal letter to share hopes, challenges, emotions, good news and memories. Unlike other communications, card and letter writing is timeless, personal and immediately tangible.
I am sure that you - and many readers of your newspaper - appreciate letter writing. Your "Letters
to the Editor" section - and others like it - remain a popular forum for the public voice and have done
much to enhance this fine art.
Card and letter writing also helps improve literacy and promotes creativity among our youth. That is why
the [INSERT CITY NAME] Post Office is joining Post OfficesTM across the country in the National Card
and Letter Writing Month celebration by sponsoring the following activities:
[BRIEFLY DESCRIBE ACTIVITIES AND LIST ANY PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS.]
The public is welcome to join the fun.

culture. Thank you for supporting National Card and Letter Writing Month.

From the Greeting Card Association (GCA)
Cards for Kids Program
Fellow Greeting Card Publishers: Help us create a new generation of greeting card customers!
The concept is simple: introduce children to the joys of sending and receiving cards and reinforce
the concept at varying times during their childhood. The result will be adults who purchase cards and
then share with their children the joys of card sending.
The first phase of this program will focus on donations to local elementary schools. Everyone
wins!
• Your company wins by cleaning out obsolete inventory, enjoying a business income tax deduction, and basking in good publicity.
• The school wins because you provide a media they do not often get to use and students are
able to do work outside the norms of the classroom.
• Society wins as well, because the schools can use the cards as part of a social studies lesson
when the cards are sent to nursing s, shelters, or senior centers.
We look forward to your participation in this endeavor. Don't forget to keep the GCA office informed about how you use this program and what its results are. Be sure to forward copies of newspaper articles and response letters so we can track the nationwide progress of Greeting Cards for
Kids.
Operational Plan: Corporate Donations to Schools
Donating cards to schools is very rewarding, but remember there is some work involved. Schools
will want to have the product close to the actual holiday date, so a storage area will be needed for
the cards you are donating.
Schools will be mindful of the religious holidays and the living situations of their students, so
someone from either the school or the local community should come in and pick out the cards. We
will quickly review the steps to take:
1. Assign an area and an individual within your company to handle the donations. Choose
someone who has an interest in the idea, or the program will not succeed. Make space available for card storage. Indicate the importance of this program for your company and unit consumption of greeting cards.
2. Decide what type of cards (everyday, seasonal, both) you want to offer the school. It will
be easier for you if this decision is yours.
3. Contact the superintendent for the school system or principals of local schools. If the
school system is large you may choose to go directly to the principal of an elementary school.
In some cities, the mayor is the head of the school system and you must contact his or her office to begin the process.
When speaking with school representatives, you will be offering the donation of the cards, and
you may also offer the lesson plans. The town/school will then appoint someone to work with
you. Their point person will supply the necessary paperwork for any allowable tax deduction
(consult your tax advisor).
4. A press release should go out while the lesson plans are being conducted or after the lesson
if the release includes pictures. This is an important step both to create positive publicity for
both your company and to create additional impetus for the program.
GCA's Mission
The GCA celebrates, promotes, and protects the tradition and cultural values of exchanging greeting cards.
. . . and its principle objectives are:
• To promote the tradition of sending greeting cards with the consumer on a national basis.
• To represent the industry before government and regulatory agencies.
• To serve as a membership service center.
• To monitor trends and developments that may impact the industry.
History
In 1941, a small group of greeting card publishers under the leadership of George Burkhardt of
Burkhardt-Warner established the Greeting Card Industry, predecessor of today's Greeting Card
Association. Formed in response to a War Department order to reduce paper use by 25%, the organization successfully fought the possible elimination of paper used for greeting cards during World
War II by launching "Defense Stamp Christmas Cards" and V-Mail greeting cards to help promote
defense stamps and war bonds. Another effort named "Greeting Cards in Wartime" showed how
greeting cards helped keep families in touch and boost the morale of soldiers fighting abroad. The
association - via the Red Cross - provided millions of greeting cards to wounded servicemen.
