I understand that I will pick up the voter outreach package soon after receiving "package prepared" email from Mariya, and I am responsible for the timely completion of the package I picked up. *
Note from Mariya: all expenses are coming out of my own personal pocket. To put together each package costs me (Mariya) personally currently $26.43 for 40 postcards for 40 postcards and $33.92 for 40 letters. Unless financially struggling, please pay your share (or more, to cover those who can't - I don't turn people away and cover those costs myself). The instructions on how to contribute will be sent upon package registration, or you can simply drop the check/money into the garage mail slot on pick-up. Thank you!
Why $26.43 for 40 postcards: $24.40 - 40 stamps at 61c (included inside or applied by me later), $1.66 - 40 postcards, $0.34 - address lists, instructions & labels (ink + paper), $0.03 - envelope to hold it all. Why $28.84 for 40 letters: $31.20 - 40 stamps at 78c (included inside or applied by me later), $1.66 - 40 envelopes, $1.02 - letters & instructions (ink+paper), $0.05 - envelope to hold it all. Sometimes the price is less or more depending on the exact configuration of the package (e.g., sometimes it's 20 postcards or letters close to the election, so the cost is less; sometimes the more expensive postcards are required, in which case it will be indicated on the package).
