April 2012 RAK Attack!

[Carole Cadek]

Welcome to the April 2012 RAK Attack!
victims info sent

A RAK is a Random Act of Kindness, and a RAK Attack is this group of participants mailing some sort of surprise to a ‘victim’ who is selected by nominations through private messages sent by you. Please try to send the name/user name of the ATCsforALL member and their address (if available) when you sign up. (Please one nominee, per person.)

This is not a popularity contest it is simply our small way of spreading cheer in our little community. This particular RAK is intended for members of ATCsforALL. If you have friends in need of a RAK feel free to open a new thread and let us know, there's always someone to step up and contribute.

One person per month, not the same person in a year. A list is maintained to assure no repeats. If you nominate someone who is ineligible I will send you a private message to send in alternate nominations. The RAK host (me) cannot be RAKed.

Who to nominate and why?

Any member who is going through a rough time and could use a smile, who has been especially helpful or accommodating, the victim does not have to be a participant in the monthly RAK, just any member of ATCsforALL.

What to Send On a RAK Attack

Anything Goes: ATCs, Arty bits, cards, Handwritten written wishes on handmade or pretty stationary, Envies, Handmade stationary for gift, Candy, cookies, Stickers, Books, Artwork, Encouraging words, Poetry, favorite quotes. You decide what to send based on how much time you have and what your budget is, look to the supplies you already have and all it will cost you is a stamp.


How Do I participate?:

1. Post in this thread to sign up

2. PM me one member nomination and their address, if you have this info, it is extremely helpful. This information is always kept secret from the participants so do not ask. (If you don't have anyone to nominate, that's OK.)

3. I will PM you all with the address of the RAK recipient.
Expect to see this info around the 25th-31th of March. You can only receive this information from the host (me) so please do not ask others.

This is a surprise! Please do not tell the RAK recipient-let them find out in the mail.

Please PM me if you have any questions.

Remember, the RAK is to bring a smile to somebody and show them we care.

All participants welcomed! Nominations accepted until the 24th of March.


Sign up! Make somebody's day!

i'll give it a try

[goatgirl]

Should we post when we have sent, or is it just the honor system?

[Carole Cadek]

Moonrose, thanks for playing! I'll send you the PM now.

Goatgirl, it's good to post to the thread if you have a chance, then you have a record of when you mailed it. It's also good for getting Reps, once the victim starts receiving and realizes that they are the victim...hehehe. :)

[artrageous]

Since I'm hosting a swap right now I didnt realize that there were envies for "me", as i have been putting the envelopes I've been getting in a box to contain them, lol... But I received an envelope that said "april rak attack" on it and had no idea what that meant... Then I searched on here and found the thread... I don't know how I ended up with the honor of being april's victim, but it was a well received surprise! March really hit me pretty hard, my uncle passed away on the 4th and then my 36 year old sister passed away on the 8th... I'm 42, but I swear last month has left me feeling 84. Thank you all so much for making me smile!!
