Cards that Care

I learned about this wonderful opportinitiy on Kristy's blog here.   As you know, I have been following the Odd Girl and Some Odd Girl for awhile now.  This cause is near and dear to me.  I am social worker and I work alot with nursing facilities in the area.

Cards that Care is a card drive that collects holiday/christmas cards to send to the elderly in nursing homes across America. Grandfathers and Grandmothers who may be missing their families or may just feel lonely this holiday season. Just by doing something you already love to do, cardmaking, you can send smiles, love and lift spirits. Please hop over to Vera’s blog to read all the details about how you can get in on this wonderful cause.

The details:
This card drive will be going on till November 31, 2011.

• We will need to receive your cards by November 31, 2011.
• Please make the cards for Christmas or Holiday Wishes. Anyone can send a card, your children, church group, scout troops, etc.
• All cards need to have a message in it.  Please also sign your name and where you are from.  On the card envelope, write your name on the top left corner.  Also, please don't seal the envelope.
• Please stick to just cards.
• And please don't use any pins (safety reason).

You can mail the cards  to either one of these awesome ladies:

In each package, PLEASE include a piece of paper with your name, address, email address and how many cards you sent.  This helps us in keeping track for prizes! For each card you send, you will get a chance.  So the more cards you send, the better your chances.
