PROJECT 3: Thanking IUOMA's Founding Father on 16 August 2013

Ruud is IUOMA's Founding Father;

He told me that the first mention of IUOMA was on 16 August 1988.

For IUOMA's 25th Birthday I propose, that we all send a piece of Mail Art to Ruud

Send some Mail Art -- anything goes, but something birthday-themed would be very appropriate to our Founding Father:

Ruud Janssen,

TAM-Publications,

PO Box 1055,

NL- 4801 BB Breda,

The Netherlands

To arrive on or around 16 August 2013

Val

Cool. Does anyone know how long it takes mail to go from California to Breda?

Travel times to Breda for Mail:

Inside Netherlands : 1 day

Inside Europe : 2-5 days (depends on the zones)

From USA : 3-5 days (depends of the mood of local postal workers and the days the mail 'rests')

From Asia / Australia : 7 days (but sometyimes it gets here much faster by airmail, and sometimes it seems they slow it down)

So it will be a guess. Would be interesting to see how many actually arrivés on that specific day. I will keep track and make a chart,,,,,,

Expecting to see Ruud report that he receives 2600+ (maybe 3000) mail art pieces!!!
