Donate an old Car license Plate for Son's School Project

Thought I'd throw this out there.

Anyone have any old car license plates they do not want? Boy is doing a class geogrphy or social studies project and they are trying to gather 1 plate from every US state (although if they got some from Europe, Austrailia or Canada that'd be pretty cool). They have CT, VT, KY and WA so far.

I don't really want to buy them but I will pay for mailing. Post here or send me a pm if you feel the desire to help out a budding 8 year old Airstreamer get through school.

Thanks for taking the time to read this.

Greetings from the Florida Panhandle

Skip,

I can come up with several for the young man. Do you want them sent to the address in your member profile?

I'll let you know later today what states I can come up with. I've got Florida and New Mexico right here in front of me now.

Brian

Thank you Brian!!! Yes that would be great. Let me know how much the mailing is and I'll reimburse you!

This is going to be great!! I got more info on the project and it's an Art-Geography coalition. It should be good. I'll take photos when it's done.

I will drop them in Monday's mail. Consider the postage a school donation, but we want to see the project so ask your son to take some pictures to post here.

Well the teacher said only USA plates, but the Headmaster, who is in charge of the project with the kids says he'd love to have the Canada plates too!! So if your offer is still open We'd love to have them!!

I'll pm you my address and will absolutely reimburse for the shipping as I understand this could be substantial from Canada.

Thanks so much!!

I found a CA plate that I can donate. I agree, pictures of the final project would be great. Please make sure the plates are not thrown out after the project is complete and graded. Someone, like myself, could put them to good use.

Here's the current list as it stands now. Not bad for less than 24 hours:

AL
AZ
CA
FL
GA
HI
MD
MO
NJ
NM
NY
OH
PA
SC
TX
WV

Canada
ALB
BC
SAS

It is my understanding that the project will be a central display at the school. I can't wait to see it. The headmaster is giddy that I have all these plates coming. I will not allow them to be destroyed.

Thanks for the published list. I have one going at home, too. I posted a similar thread as this on two other forums I belong to. from them I have about 18 plates coming. One from France!! (if the postage isn't too much) I will post the list tonight.

Sounds like a fun project! I, too, agree we need a photo of the finished product.
I have Oregon, Washington, Idaho, and Utah for you.
PM me to let me know where to send them and which you still need.
