Hints From Heloise

Mon., Aug. 31, 1998

Dear Heloise: We all have extra coffee mugs around. Here’s a way to use one. Tape the address for Stamps for Children on the outside (or tuck it inside) and keep the mug on your desk to collect stamps you clip and save. When the mug is full, send the stamps off don’t try to save hundreds or thousands. - Patricia Goode, Kingsville, Texas

Need the address? Stamps for Children, 27 Pine St., Lincroft, NJ 07738.

The stamps are sent to children’s organizations and children’s hospitals for craft projects. They also send stamps to schools for children interested in stamp collecting or to the art department of schools for craft projects. - Heloise
