Cheyenne-Positive Exposure-3.2.10

We went to the Positive Exposure office and were given instructions on how to stuff envelopes. I wasn’t completely sure what it was exactly that we were doing. I had never “stuffed envelopes” before. There were a few steps. We decided to make an assembly line like we did at the Waldorf with Go Red. The 1st step was to tuck a return card under the flap of a small envelope. Next, was tucking the envelope with it’s R.S.V.P. into the crease of an invitation. Next was to put the entire invitation into an envelope. Then to seal the envelope, and finally to add a pre-made label on the front, in the middle with a person’s address on it. These were the invitations to an event to raise money for Positive Exposure. It was a benefit, taking place on the 22nd of April. We will most likely, later be volunteering for, since we can go for free. It was actually harder to put the invites in the envelopes than the other steps. What made it annoying was that we had to make sure that each card was faced up, in the middle of the envelope, then tucked in the invitation a certain way. I had always wondered how organizations sent these things out. All of the specialized stationary, pre-made and ordered. I always think there seem to be machines and robots and computerized doohickeys for everything. But there’s a high chance that the other organizations actually either pay someone, hire and intern or get volunteers to do the job of stuffing. What made it fun was we took a break to play with buster and we were there together. If I was sitting in an office, with strangers, quietly stuffing envelopes.  We don’t have any pictures that I know of for this visit but for the most part we were sitting around a dining table with stacks of envelopes and invitations as well as RSVPs and labels. It was Trishka’s birthday and she was there with us stuffing envelopes. Rick was not there, but in Tanzania for a Photo shoot. But Will was there again. I’m curious to see the pictures that Rick takes back with him this time. I don’t know how long he stayed but when he comes back, if he hasn’t already I want to see the pictures. Miche said the envelope stuffing was a great help. So I feel “helpful.” We did not actually finish the job so we had to come back the next day.
