[Ansteorra] Showing appreciation vs. poltiics

[letebts at earthlink.net]

What about making a little "Vivat box" of cards of a "thank you" nature? Not
real awards, the kind you hang on the wall, but just a little "atta boy" or
"atta girl" card to say, "Ya done real good, kid. Yer appreciated!" Kind of
like those people who do "random acts of kindness" or the largesse that A&S
competitions are known for. No officer would have to approve it, since hugs
on paper don't need approval.

The cards could be printed from a master or from a color computer. If
printed and there's time, the giver could even color (inside the lines, of
course!) in shades the recipient might like. Perhaps the master could be
posted on some site, so that if you wanted one, you could just go there and
print it out, put the appropriate name on it, then hand it to that person.

Just trying to be helpful.... :-)

Lete Bithespring. who likes giving as well as getting hugs, be they paper or
personal...
