Welcome to the November 2013 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, you can still play!)


3. I will PM you all with the address of the RAK recipient.


Expect to see this info around the 30 of October. 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 25th of October.


Sign up! Make somebody's day!

Oh, my goodness. Thank you for the lovely art, kind notes, and bits and gifts sent. I can't tell you how much they meant, how much they helped. Being bedbound is a real challenge; depending on family to get everything I need, to help me do the simplest things (my right arm isn't back to full speed yet nor is my left leg, argh)... The excitement of pretty mail - has made such a difference in my outlook, and that makes a huge difference in my experience of challenge. Thank you, dear friends...I'm looking at a few weeks - I hope not months! - till I'm up and around, at least in the house, again. Prayers are always appreciated, as are you all. xox
