Letter writing and the glory of summer

I just found out about the Letter Writers Alliance, affectionately known as the LWA.
Their mission statement explains,

"In this era of instantaneous communication, a handwritten letter is a rare and wondrous item. The Letter Writers Alliance is dedicated to preserving this art form; neither long lines, nor late deliveries, nor increasing postal rates will keep us from our mission."

Best of all, membership is only $3, or $12 if you're interested in the vintage style LWA stationary. I'm joining...are you? :)

  7. This is great! Thank you for writing (hehe) about it. I'll definitely look into it. Nothing beats a handwritten letter tucked inside a postmarked envelope.
