Soror Hattie McDaniel postage stamp initiative

[TrueBeauty]

Hopefully I will be able to make the Issue Ceremony tues. in Beverly Hills. I read all about the other ceremonies in the mid west & the east and wished I could have been there. So when they announced that there would be one here on the west coast I was so excited! This is history and I dont want to miss it. To have a ceremony here in Hollywood is definitely fitting. Its a place where she lived, worked, and represented SIGMA.

"Dr. Mynora J. Bryant has been extended an invitation to participate in the program for Hattie McDaniel First-Day-of-Issue ceremony on January 25, 2006 at 10:00 am. This ceremony will be held at the , ."Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study Margaret Herrick Library, 333 South LaCienega, Beverly Hills, CA 90211."

For those who havent as of yet purchased the beautiful stamp....
FEB. 18 the sorority will be showing up in numbers at our local post offices to purchase our stamps, bags, and memorablia! My family has made it a family thing to support the stamp!

I just bought mine this past Saturday!

Several sorors from the three Atlanta area graduate chapters all met to buy stamps and take pictures at a local post office. It just so happens that a soror invited us to buy the stamps from the post office she works in. It was a bluetiful occasion with sorors, young and "seasoned".

One of the postal workers politely informed us that we had to step after we took pictures. A "seasoned" soror told him, "Where's the music? Bring it on!" LOL

I love my sorors!

[TrueBeauty]

Thanks! It's a great image of her.

Love the stamps, a young lady in the post office saw me buying them an she instantly thought I was a member of your organization. When I responded no she was so upset, so I said it's still a great stamp and Hattie McDaniel’s biography was a great read too.

^^^ Really? I'm glad that you're supporting our soror and the African American Heritage Stamp Collection in general. I think that particular soror was in the absolute minority.

BTW, I only use Hattie McDaniel stamps (on the rare occasions that I use stamps in this CyberAge).
