Remember September is a mail art project which was developed by Gail Ellspermann to commemorate, on an annual basis, the tragic attacks on the United States on September 11, 2001. The idea is to decorate an envelope, with artwork remembering and honoring the victims, rescue workers, and countless volunteers affected by 9/11. Then, bring it to your post office on September 11 and ask for a hand cancel. This is a date which must be remembered each year - taking the time to create a small work of art, and mailing it on the date of rememberance, will serve as your private memorial of the day. The envelopes will never be opened so you may include a private note, poem, or prayer as part of your memorial. The envelopes are being collected and will be exhibited at various venues.  You are invited to submit an envelope from yourself, or to do this as a group project. Past participants have expressed that they got together with a few friends to make their envelopes and to talk through their feelings about the day. We have said we would "never forget" - I hope you take the time to send an envelope to honor the many lives forever changed by 9/11/01. GUIDELINES:
