Your used stamps can help provide medical aid for children in Norway. Just cut or tear off the corner of the envelope with the stamp and get it to us. Or, if that's too much work, just get the whole envelope to us and we will do the rest. Call Vivian Rifbjerg, at 650-366-6457, or E-mail her at vkgrandma@earthlink.net for information.

Tubfrim was established in Nesbyen in 1928. Postmaster Ditlef Frantzen took the initiative to collect and sell used stamps. The profits were used to help children with tuberculosis, and for research.
 
The first year a profit of NOK, 500 was made. Profits in 2003 totaled NOK 520,000! This Money helps to improve the quality of llife for handicapped children and youth, and supports medical research.
 
 Today, TUBFRIM collects both used stamps and used telephone cards.
