Chances are that if people receive a piece of mail with a corporate return address stamped on the envelope, they throw it out. They don't know what it is, and they don't want to know. This makes it very hard for me to mail out my newsletters and support raising stuff with CEF(C) envelopes, because I risk people throwing them out without ever reading them. So I went and bought my own business envelopes and have been hand addressing them all... and that turns out to be a lot of envelopes. I also need to get my newsletters out as soon as possible, because it's wave one of support raising... so I took one day and did it all hardcore so that I could mail them all out on monday. That means that I spent a ton of time sitting down yesterday, and as a result sitting down today is not very easy. I keep wanting to get up and do something because my bum keeps complaining about how sore it is. But hand addressed envelopes do better, end of story. And the fundraising isn't over yet, so it'll just have to put up with more sitting. Maybe this beautiful spring like weather will last and I'll be able to go outside more often. That would be beyond awesome, but who knows. I guess we'll find out.
