The school year has just begun with an SOR member from California donating "approximately 40,000 stamps based on roughly 5 pounds at 8000 stamps per pound" from Nevada Stamp Study Society. WOW!!!!! He has literally put Nevada 'on the HSP map' as the 36th state from which stamps have come.
Check out the map.
The students will be coloring in Nevada next!!!!Stamps in any quantity, in any condition, and from any country, are welcome - especially from the 14 states not yet filled in on our map (including Hawaii and Alaska!)
More information is available on the HSP website.
Wishing everyone a long, relaxing holiday weekend.....

If I drove over to the three remaining states bordering Texas and mailed stamps from there, would that count?

I've got friends in Hawaii and Alaska; they're not collectors but I'll ask them to save stamps from mail and send them along. In fact, I'll mail them to ask them so they can start with at least one stamp!

I've got a collector friend in Arkansas who likes to donate stamps. I will mention this to him. (I have invited him to Stamporama, but he is not interested.)
In addition, I am mailing out a 6x9 envelope today with stamps for your worthy cause. I know that Florida is already colored in, but I did not know if you had any donors from Orlando.

One of our new participants on the board is from Alaska. Perhaps he'll see this message soon!
I also have a collecting colleague in Hawaii (who's not on SOR), and I can let him know about the project.
Thanks for the update, Charlotte!

I grew up in New Mexico. A few years ago a postal history dealer in Nevada told me that the New Mexico philatelic market has died. It's among the poorer states in the U.S., so perhaps that's part of the reason.

Michael, Peter, Bob (Bobstew617), Philatarium, and Bob (Bobstamp)-
MANY THANKS for your generous offers to help boost our total number of donating states!
I'll be watching for Arkansas, Hawaii, and Alaska, thanks to your efforts!
Although (per Bobstamp) the philatelist community in New Mexico seems to have become all but extinct, there MUST be US Mail still moving through there somewhere!
If ANYONE knows somebody in NM, could you please ask for a bit of stamp-saving-and-sending to the HSP? It would be greatly appreciated!
Michael, your offer to drive to the three states bordering Texas not yet on our map was most generous, though is kind of like cheating! We'd really like to add an actual donor, with an address in each of those states, to make them legitimate additions to the map.
Stamps have been donated not only from WWII veterans (Is anybody in SOR affiliated with a VFW???)and Holocaust survivors' families, but also from church and synagogue groups, tax assessors offices (really!) and others who have "just heard about" the Project.
Any word of mouth, or social networking, by SOR members would help.
With appreciation,
Charlotte

If I mail you a bunch of used US stamps from British Columbia, would that count as a donation from BC? I can bring them with me when I visit later this month (you already have WA state so no point mailing from there, as I could just as easily mail them from GA). Do you have an "International map"? If so, what countries do you have so far?

Thanks again to the generous SOR members who have helped the Holocaust Stamps Project to surpass the halfway mark of its goal, with 5,544,094 stamps (as of June, 2015) donated and counted one-at-a-time by an army of student and adult volunteers.
