Have any suggestions for the Beijing Olympic volunteers? Now there's a way for you to help them improve by sending them a special postcard.

To celebrate the 100-day countdown to the Beijing Olympics, which falls on April 30, the Beijing Post and the Volunteers Department at the BOCOG launched the "smile card" campaign on Sunday.

Tens of thousands of the cards were handed out to citizens at the event in order to collect their suggestions. Presented along with each postcard was a soft plastic "smile bracelet," the official symbol for the Beijing Olympic volunteers.

The event also marked the beginning of Olympic volunteer work by postal service workers. They will visit 50 major residential communities to promote the Olympic spirit while providing convenient newspaper subscriptions and postal service consultations.

In addition the postal workers will be passing out more of the "smile cards" during their visits.
