Greetings:
We continue the spectacle that is the 2014 Spring Round Robin Seed Swap!
This swap is closed to new participants but reserved for the following participants (and this IS the flight path)!
Each participant should contact the next person on the list when after they receive the Robin to ensure the next person is ready to receive. If you do not have a response from the participant, please let me know, and I will try to get them by telephone. If we can't reach you we won't send it to you!! Please check in daily if you can, just to see what's going on. Thanks!

Return to Amanda (AmandaEsq) - NC
This IS the flight path. If you don't see your name here, please let me know so I can work out the flight path.
If it is convenient and does not impose undue burden on participants we may, on a case by case basis, continue to accept participants.
EVERYONE:
Please ensure that the HOST has your current shipping address, telephone number, that you are a paid subscriber through at least May 2014 and that you check in on this thread on DG daily so we don't have to chase you when the Robin is headed your way.
If we don't hear from you - we won't ship to you. Your name will go to the end of the list, and you may receive the Robin on its return flight.
********************************************************
RULZ:
In the interest of FAIRNESS to participants
and to maintain the INTEGRITY of the Round Robin tradition
we each agree to:
(1) Treat the Robin as an individual swap taking the same time and care with our contributions to the Robin as we would with an individual trade;
(2) Take what you want, give what you can, generous in contribution and modest in appropriation - particularly if the amount of seed in the Robin is scant;
(3) Contribute only seed of known origin (commercial seed, harvested from our own garden, etc.) not older than 2011;
(4) Package our seed contributions to the Robin in clear plastic zip lock bags and/or glassine envelopes so that contents are visible and easily accessible by other participants in the Robin;
(5) Properly label our seed contributions to the Robin with our DG Name, common and botanical name of species contributed, and date of origin (PREFERABLY ON PAPER LABEL INSIDE BAG/ENVELOPE);
(6) Respond within 24 hours to communications from other participants and HOST of the Robin by dmail, telephone, or other means deemed acceptable by the HOST;
(7) Post on the main thread the arrival and departure date(s) of the Robin into and out of each participant's possession;
(8) Maintain possession of the Robin not longer than 4 days including holidays and weekends;
(9) Ship the Robin to the next participant as directed by the HOST;
(10) Submit USPS tracking/confirmation information by dmail to the HOST only, not by public thread;
(11) Be a good sport; and/or
(12) Be hung in effigy and/or ostracized forever by participants and/or HOST for failure to follow these RULZ.
*******************************************************
We are a friendly bunch dedicated to seed swapping and hoarding.
Many of us have participated in this time honored tradition hosted in the past by Susie (deejay9). Some of us have not participated in the Robin before. Please feel free to ask any questions of the HOST or participants on this public thread or by dmail.
Thanks for playing and for unabashedly pointing out any flaws or errors inherent in the HOST's logic or lack thereof.
~Amanda
