Jim C. mentioned that we could save on postage by sending out the prize and the ribbon at the same time. Can't tell you what I was thinking exactly, but in retrospect that seems like quite an oversight on my part. Whoops! :-) One nifty thing that I may not have mentioned before is that anything shipped via Priority Mail (United States Postal Service or USPS) gets free boxes. Getting back to Jim's comments, it seems like a big job for one person to do. They will have to order the ribbons, proof them, collect all the prizes, and last (but most certainly not least) ship everything out to as many as 45 (or more?) recipients. Maybe there are two people on this list that are geographically proximate to one another that might be able to tackle this task together? When we talk about someone receiving all the ribbons and then sending out the 2nd and 3rd place ones to someone else for treatment, well, we get into the what-if-it-gets-lost-in-da-mail discussion again.
