Bertie,

Go up to the Community Menu and click on the member directory.  You can put in the city and state there.  Only members with public profiles will show up so your senders may not be there.

Yeah, on the Member Directory, just enter the city name and state and it will bring up a list of the members with profiles in that city.  It could be a large number of people depending on the city.

Thank you both, I tried it and none of them showed up so I guess they are all private

 

I did find one on there

Why are PBS members sending you Christmas cards? Did you join the card swap? If not, people should not be using your address for this purpose.

Yes I did join the card swap.  And I think some are sending to others even if they are not on their list.  And what is wrong with people sending cards to others even if they did not join the swap????

Bertie, you should be able to see all the names and address on the attachment that was sent for the Holiday Card exchange. The PBS name is listed for most of them on there.
