| The labelling party was held at Susan's coop. That page shows many pictures of her coop.
Here is a little movie (10 seconds, 220K bytes) of my mom and Claire applying labels to the newsletters. |

Opposite my mom was Marty and an unidentified party (she didn't want pictures taken of her) diligently at work. |
 |
| Here is a still shot of mom and Claire working. In the center of the table there are unlabeled newsletters and rubber bands. Claire is getting an unlabeled newsletter. |
 |
At the end of the table (opposite me) and between my mom and Marty was Cleo. After a bundle was labelled, we would put two rubber bands around them like this. |
 |
| Here is Marty putting a second rubber band around a bundle. |
 |
Later Jay arrived and Susan took a break while Jay had some of the lemon cake (sitting to my left). Doesn't it look yummy. |
 |
| After a bit, Marty took a break and Rich arrived. Jay and Rich then set about labelling. |
 |
Here's another picture of Claire, an experienced programmer, continuing with the labelling. |
 |
| After each bundle was done, it would be put into a mail bag until that zip code group (first three digits) was done. Here's another picture of Jay. |
 |
The full bags were carried out to the hallway until all the labels were done. Here I am carrying a full bag. |
 |
| Then we would carry all the bags out to the elevator. My mom supervised the carrying and took pictures. |
 |
We took the bags out to Rich's SUV and loaded all 27 bags (2,000 newsletters) in. He drove them to the Post Office. |
