2010 Voyageurs Christmas Card Thread (FINAL STAGES - HELP NEEDED)

[Razcle]

The 2010 edition of the V's Christmas Card is well underway. If you have any interest in taking a region, Helping to find addresses, even just commenting on the card design or verbage, please go to

http://www.cansoc.org/showthread.php?40881-2010-Voyageurs-Christmas-Card-Thread

in the Voyageurs Fourm to let your voice be heard. Please read the first two threads to understand where we are and how you can still get involved.

Shameless Bump

[El Hombre]

Here is where the Holiday Card situation now stands (Razcle, please correct me if I am wrong):

1) A design has been made.

2) Razcle will be having all the cards made and sending packages out to the volunteers for them to send to their regions.

Action Item: Razcle needs help in estimating how many cards need to be made

3) The following regions have volunteers:

- UK (Razcle)

- Germany, Belgium, Holland (Saviola7)

- MLS and USSF Div. 2 (Sam)

- Finland, Norway, Denmark, Turkey, Lithuania, Switzerland (Jeremy) (the last three are up for grabs if someone wants them).

Action Item: Razcle needs volunteers for the following regions:

- Portugal

- Spain

- Italy

- Poland

- France

- Chile

- Greece

- Mexico

- Unattached Canadians (we must find home addresses)

- Other (Women's, Asia...)

Is that an accurate account of where things stand?

We have two action items that need volunteers. Please step up.

[Razcle]

Thanks for the summation. The only other item is making a list of who we should be sending cards to. This will tell me how many to order.

[ted]

I may be missing something but in the past hasn't the CSA provided addresses for national team players or at least their agents?

[jpg75]

There are no Canadians in Chile.

Here's the address for Isidro Sanchez - Puebla Futbol Club: Blvd. Capitán Carlos Camacho Espíritu 1477 Col. Universidades. Puebla, Pue., Mexico.

Here's the address for the Fernandez brothers - Santa Pola Club de Futbol: Av. Albacete, 10 003130 SANTA POLA (ALICANTE)

[Guest Doyle]

As a last resort, if you just mail the card to the club (e.g., Norwich City for Simeon Jackson) to the player's attention, won't it likely find its way into his hands? It may get opened first, but still.

[Sam]

Last year I sent all the MLS and USSF Div-2 ones to the clubs.... Anyways I'm willing to take another European region if no one steps up.

[Avram Grant]

If it's not already too late, I can do Mexico, Portugal, Spain and Greece.

[Max]

I will be more than glad to cover Poland

[Jeremy]

Who's in Poland except Michal?

[jpg75]

There are currently 5 players in Poland.

Guys, make sure to check the MOACA so you don't miss anyone...

[Razcle]

We will definitely be using the MOAC to help structure the list. Please continue all correspondence in this forum so everyone can read it

List of guys up to send cards out to. Please have a look and let me know who is missing

115 Cards purchased. CSA agreed to send the cards out for us since they would not disclose the personal adresses of the players (understandable). This is a nice gesture from them as long as they get the job done.

******What I need is for V's to write personal messages for players they have followed and feel comfortable writing to. Myself and the GF will hand bomb in all of the messages and walk the sealed envelopes to the CSA for delivery. Half of the players are spoken for at this moment and I need people to speak for the other half. Even if it is only for one or 2 players. I do believe that a personal message will make this come across as a truely genuine project from genuine supporters of our national teams.

There is also ~15 cards available for players who you think we should send them to.

Please HELP. I would like to get this out the door ASAP for obvious reasons

Dear Owen,

I am happy to hear of your recent hamstring injury. Please continue to rot in the hell you have made for yourself you treacherous bastard. Merry X-mas and Happy New Year.

Sincerely,

^ Cute but not worth the Card it is printed on.

Still in need of help writing a line or two to wish our players well this holiday season. Please see the 2nd post of the following thread to see who is left to write a message to.

PLEASE HELP US COMPLETE THIS PROJECT. PLEASE PM ME YOUR CHRISTMAS MESSAGES

[Avram Grant]

Looks like excellent progress has been made. Unless anyone objects I'll grab the TFC guys. I'll also send to Hart and Morace. My roommate's from Milan, so he can come up with something she'll remember.

[Razcle]

Need christmas messages for players in black and extra players to open slots with messages

As my old man grew up not far away on Bell St. in the 30's/40's, I think a burning bag of dog **** left on the porch at 36 Metcalfe St. would be an appropriate greeting card for Mr Maestracci.

OT but my house on Bell was built around 1906. I wonder if we share some history.

[Guest Ed]

I know their place was razed for the Queensway so nope. But it certainly is a small world.

[Razcle]

Almost there!

[Razcle]

Last Call.

I have 9 extra cards that I would love to send to Canadian Players Deserving.

Please PM or post who these should go to. All I need is names. Would like to send these to CSA Monday morning to get out to the players.
