Update #16: Books!
Hey all!
I'm really sorry the books are taking so long to get around. I was hoping each participant could have just a few days with the book but everyone has a different schedule and there's nothing I can really do to make the process go faster other than send email reminders out to whoever has the book asking them to send them out. That being said, if anyone wants to mail their pages into me and I can paste them into the books once I get them, that would probably speed up the process, but wouldn't be as cool as actually getting the book in the mail. Let me know what you guys think!
Also, I've been keeping track of who has received the book and who hasn't, but since a lot of mailing addresses have changed, please message me (don't leave a comment because then your information will be there for the world to see) with your current mailing address if you haven't received the book yet. Thanks!!
Update #15: A incredible project that needs your help
Please check out this Kickstarter project that needs your help! Coached into Silence is a documentary film about childhood sexual abuse in organized sports leagues. A story that absolutely must be told and has the power to help so many people. Please take a moment to donate or spread the word. Thanks!

Update #14: SCRAPBOOK LIVES!
Hey all,
Some mixed news. The second Scrapbook was never found and the person who last had it isn't responding. We have purchased a new Scrapbook to mail out.
Please prevent this from happening by creating your pages and mailing out the book right away! The longer you wait the more likely you will lose the book and the longer everyone else has to wait to receive the book.
If you have not received the scrapbook yet and have changed your mailing address please send us the new one.
Thanks guys, and sorry about the lost book. I'm hoping this new one will be even more spectacular.
Looking forward to seeing your pages!

Update #13: New pages, New posts up on the blog! Check it out!
Hey all!
Just a reminder that the blog is LIVE and we'll be continually posting pages from the scrapbook as it gets mailed from one end of the Earth to the next. You can see the pages and track the books here:

And don't forget to check your email, we send out a heads up before the book comes to you. Thanks everyone!

Update #12: Mexico!
Hey guys!
Not really related to the project, but I'm headed to Mexico next week for work and I was hoping to volunteer while I was out there. I haven't had much luck finding a volunteer program that doesn't charge me to volunteer, so I thought I'd ask you guys if you knew of any. I'm going to Xalapa/Veracruz, so anything remotely around that area (or maybe in Oaxaca) would be awesome! Thanks for your help, I really appreciate it!

Wow, almost two years later. I would be cool with either receiving the book in the mail or putting some pages together and sending them on. So either way :)
It was a great idea, and it's sad it seems to have gone badly awry. Still, one lives in hope! ;)
