Re: [UG-ADMINS] Sticker Exchange

Message-ID <[email protected]>
What I expect user groups to send me is a box/envelope/container of =
their user group stickers. I=E2=80=99m asking for *at least 50*.

Say for example we have 25 UGs participate (By sending stickers), we =
will take 25 envelopes and put 2 stickers from every UG in each =
envelope. Every UG that sends stickers gets an envelope back.=20


Obviously it will likely be an odd number and my plan is to return any =
UG=E2=80=99s stickers that didn=E2=80=99t get stuffed into envelopes =
back into the envelope going to them.
