Used Stamps For Guide Dogs

Have you ever thought of doing something fun and yet for a worthy cause?

Trimming stamps is something I like doing during my free time. One day during the past week a few of us were talking about how many stamps I trim each week. This prompted and idea in my mind to set a goal for myself for next year. From 1 January to 31 December 2008, my goal is to collect and trim 1 MILLION stamps; yes you read it right, 1 million stamps! In order to achieve this goal, I need your help in providing me with used stamps.

For your information, I don’t collect stamps myself but simply prepare them for sale for various organizations/community groups. The stamps which I hope to collect for this project will be taken to a wholesaler and the money raised will be given to GUIDE DOGS VICTORIA.

Why you ask? I have been blind since birth and have been a guide dog user for four years now and I can tell you that it has given me a new lease of life in the sense that I have become more independent and can go anywhere.Even though this is going to be very tedious, I feel that this will be a worthwhile project to undertake.

Your participation in helping me achieve this goal will be greatly appreciated. All you need to do is send any used stamps (still attached to the envelope!) to the following address:

36 Aberdeen Road
Blackburn South VIC 3130

Many thanks in anticipation of your support!
