Dear postal worker,
At our summer camp we made Postcards and one person sent one to their grandma without a Stamp. If you find it, can you Please return it to the MacPhee Center (across the Street) or use the Stamp on the back of this page? We would really appreciate it. Thank you so much!
The MacPhee Center for Creative Learning."
