Special Announcements!

Remember what I said a few days ago about things being slow? Well, I've been getting email like crazy the past few days so I thought this format might be the best format for letting you know what's going on in boxingdom:

Time is almost up for the CT County Stamp Series! Everyone who completes this series by August 31, 2005 will win a special engraved prize by, you guessed it, The Engraver!


Congratulations to Fish-or-Man who just reached the F-500 mark! Lou's 500th was The Schmoopies "Picnic in The Park" box in Manchester, CT. Great job, Fish-or-Man!

The Great Lakes Group now has their own official patch, based on the same image that graces the talk list's main page. Contact Wisconsin Hiker for more info. The patches sell for $1.50 each.


We heard that a certain southern letterboxer is working on an Extreme Letterboxing Page! While it won't be ready for a while, we just couldn't resist tempting you with this tidbit.


Heard from Letterboxingbee that that she is hosting the 3rd Annual Boxtober Fest gathering in New Jersey October 15, 2005. The twist is that every attendee is asked to bring non-perishable food items to be donated to a local food bank. With the coming holidays, this is a perfect way to get some letterboxes and help make a holiday meal a little more special for someone less fortunate than ourselves.


Thanks to all of our contributors for helping to get us out of the late summer, non-news doldrums!
