  1. National Letter Writing Weekhappens in October Submitted by Courtney McManus, Resident Assistant, Dominican College

  2. For the month of October, I decided to do something a little different than pumpkins and ghosts for Halloween. • I found out that the beginning of October is National Letter Writing Week.  • For door tags I folded envelopes out of scrapbook paper and put a piece of paper with the resident's name and room number on it.

  3. Fun Mail Facts for Each Envelope 1) A “Dear John” letter refers to a letter written by a woman breaking up with a man (usually a soldier).2) Letters were not originally sent in envelopes.  They were either sealed with wax or folded into another piece of paper.3) The National Postal Museum is located in Washington, D.C.4) Post Office Motto:“Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds.” 5) The most isolated place where the USPS delivers to is Anaktuvuk Pass, Alaska. The town has only 300 residents and there are no roads to the town, everything must be flown in.6) In the 1800s, letters were only exchanged between a man and a woman as a sign of engagement.7) The top five most common street names in the country are Main, Maple, 2nd, Oak and Park.What follows are pictures of the board and door tags, and templates that you need to make the board.
