Get Your Love Notes Mailed In Valentine's Town

January 27, 2003

Valentine's Day, in French, is called Saint-Valentin. That's also the name of a small town on the Richelieu River near Montreal..Every year, they help true hearts join together by mailing their wishes. Last year, 7,230 cards went through their post office.

Here's What You Do
Write your love note, put a stamp on the envelope addressed to your loved one. Put the whole package in a bigger envelope, stamp it and address it to  :

Claire Langevin
Postmaster
Saint-Valentin Post Office
SAINT-VALENTIN, QC J0J 2E0
Canada

If You Have Don Juan Tendencies
For any destination within Canada, especially if you intend to send wishes to 1,502 lovers, get some self-sticking greeting stamps. The heart frames are available in booklets at most postal outlets.

Act Now Or Else...
For any destination within Quebec, allow at least six working days for your card to reach Saint-Valentin, be cancelled with a special Valentine's Day postmark, and be re-expedited to reach your loved one by February 14. Allow eight working days for a destination in another province. And remember, no matter how independent she is, if you don't do anything, she'll never believe you care !

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!!!
