Datafam Card Exchange

It’s that time of the year again! In 2020 Michelle Frayman and I started the Datafam Card Exchange during a time where we were yearning for connectedness when the pandemic and global events were keeping us far apart. We wanted a way to remind everyone of the community they had around them no matter the distance.

A lot has changed since then with the community, the platform, and the world. But one thing that remains is Michelle and my’s interest in ending the year with a few extra smiles and that reminder of how special it is to be a part of the datafam.

Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are new to the crew, sign up to be part of the fun!

How Does It Work

  1. Sign up using this form by the end of the month (11/30)

  2. Get an email with the name and address of the person you’ll be sending a card to in the beginning of December (12/4)

  3. Send your card out! Get as creative as you’d like last year people sent wonderful things from homemade cards to small gifts. But no pressure, a regular card will do as well :)

That’s all there is to it. The person who you will be sending a card to may not be the person you’re receiving one from so this is a great opportunity to make TWO new friends in the community or to let an old one know how much you appreciate them. We politely request that you make the cards holiday-agnostic unless the person specified that they celebrate it in order to be respectful of each other.

We’ve had over a hundred people participate over the years and look forward to watching this grow.

Bonus

Last year I sent a physical card to every person who signed up in the US and a digital card to all those who signed up internationally and I’m committing that again this year. That means if you sign up you have the opportunity to get two cards :)
