Catalog Choice
I moved into a new apartment earlier this week and have been eagerly checking my mailbox for my first piece of mail. Well, I got it yesterday, and sadly it was a Victoria’s Secret Catalog. It reminded me that one of the things I need to do is to update my address profile on Catalog Choice so those pesky catalogs don’t find themselves back into my mailbox. There are now over 1,061,000 people on Catalog Choice! Check out what the postal regulatory Vice Chairman Nancy Langley had to say about Catalog Choice here.
So as you head home for Thanksgiving, make sure you remind all your friends and family about signing up for Catalog Choice. And while you’re reducing your catalogs, make sure to also head over to Forest Ethics’ Do Not Mail Campaign. You can their petition to reduce your junk mail, because you’re probably one of the 89% of Americans who support a national Do Not Mail Registry.
The Overbrook Foundation, located in New York City, is a family foundation established in 1948 by Frank and Helen Altschul. The Foundation took its name from Overbrook Farm, the Altschul family home in Stamford, Connecticut. At the end of 2011, the Foundation has an endowment of approximately $122.6 million and had awarded approximately $6.1 million in grants over the course of that year.
