Press Release Summary = PostcardMania employees add community service to their list
of work-related duties as their contribution to the City of Clearwater and Pinellas
County.

Press Release Body = Clearwater, FL (PRWEB) April 28, 2007 -- \"Keeping the
environment clean\" was the theme of PostcardMania\'s crusade to beautify its city on
Thursday. PostcardMania employees, in conjunction with the City of Clearwater and
Keep Pinellas County Beautiful program, participated in their quarterly clean-up
project picking up an estimated 222 pounds of trash from the sidewalks and
businesses along MLK Jr. Ave. (in the designated Brownfield area where their
corporate headquarters are located). They have been contracted with the City of
Clearwater on this project for the past eight years.

Over these past eight years there have been nearly a total of 1500 pounds of trash
that have been picked up. \"This is a huge help to the City in helping keep the
environment clean,\" said Joy Gendusa, Founder and CEO of PostcardMania.

The PostcardMania employees volunteered to come to work 30 minutes early so they
could participate in the community activity. While groups of the employees spent
their ½ hour picking up bigger pieces of trash, other small groups painstakingly
picked up the gobs of cigarette butts that bespeckled the sidewalks. \"I don\'t know
why they don\'t make cigarette butts with biodegradable material,\" said
PostcardMania\'s Results Manager, Nick Lorden.

The program is applauded by the City Officials. The Road & Drainage Manager\'s
gratitude to PostcardMania was stated in a letter, \"thank you for your willingness
to be a participant in our Adopt-A-Street program. We appreciate citizens involved
in our City to make it a better place to live.\"

Even though picking up trash can be a dirty activity, the employee volunteers said
that it is a rewarding feeling to know they are doing something good for their
community.
