Now let's assume you can't get volunteer labor, which is probably untrue considering there are probably enough Wikipedians just in the Tampa Bay area willing to help.
In Tampa bay?
In the Tampa Bay area, say a 50 mile radius of the main office. Or say the USF campus, to make it even simpler.
Do you think that just one person working for a few hours is enough to stuff 1000 envelopes?
I've seen 2000 envelopes stuffed by 3 people in a few hours. But that was where the content of all the envelopes was identical, which is a lot easier.
As I said, I think 50 envelopes per person-hour is a slow estimate. That'd be 5 people for 4 hours.
If not, I don't know what you're thinking... because pretty much not more than number of Tampa localers showed up at the last meetup there, and .. well.. A meetup isn't work.
I'd be more likely to show up at a meeting where something important is going to be accomplished than to show up at a meetup where people hang out and socialize.
You seem have odd notions about how much work, beyond babysitting their pet article and windbagging on lists, that a majority of our volunteers are willing to perform.
We're not talking about a majority of volunteers, just a handful.
