AFF Secret Pal signup-- for 2009! Ends Dec 20!!!

[Tina]

There has been quite a bit of interest expressed in doing this, so I am going to organize this. If possible, men will be matched with male pals-- and women will be matched with female pals to prevent any potential problems.


You will fill out a questionnaire to let your secret pal learn some things about you. You will in turn receive a questionnaire with information filled out by the person who is assigned to you.

Here's what you're signing a pledge to do by becoming an AFF secret pal.


Pray for your secret pal on a daily basis. (You will receive info on special needs they would like to have prayer for)

Contact your pal by postal mail (note of encouragement, secret pal card, etc) ONCE a month. (more if you choose to do so)

Send your pal a Birthday gift. (Value $10)

If the person has a wedding anniversary to celebrate, send them a gift- (Value $10)

Send a Christmas gift (Value $10) in December 2009, revealing yourself as their AFF secret pal.

Any special days during the year such as Mother's Day, Father's Day, Thanksgiving, Valentines Day, etc... that you know your assigned person would enjoy receiving a card for-- feel free to mail them one.

Any additional things you want to send are up to you. If you choose to purchase small gift items to send throughout the year, that is entirely up to you. It is NOT a requirement. Only the occasions specified are required for participation.

If you'd like to set up a special email address somewhere like gmail.com or yahoo.com and email notes to your pal to keep in touch--if they provide an email address on the questionnaire, that is fine.


Hopefully some great friendships will be formed through the Secret Pal activity.

The AFF Christmas exchange will be done again next year-- This is a separate activity.

Signup is open starting NOW-- and will end on Dec 20, 2008. There will be NO extensions on signup, to allow for me to get everyone matched up, questionnaires sent out and returned to me-- then sent to the participants so they can get started by Jan 1.

If you're interested in signing up, reply to this thread.

If I have forgotten anything of importance, I'm sure someone will let me know! LOL
