If you are new on the list and wondering how you can become involved
here are a few pointers.

1)
Send out a group note or two and ask some questions. People enjoy
sharing what they've learned and seeing other people get involved.
The group's email address is mailto:letterbox-usa@egroups.com

2)
Ask around to see if there is someone else you know who may like to
get involved with you. It may be more fun that way and you can learn
together.

3)
Take your time. Some of us have taken several months to get out our
first box. There's no hurry. Lots of people sit back and learn by
monitoring the list and then just wait for the right time.

4)

to the website or if you want to help do that.
