Lorraine also received 20 cards, 1 birthday tag and 20 gift treat boxes for the kids to make from Gail L. from Manning, Alberta. They are so adorable (my favourite definitely being the monkeys!). Lynnette has posted pictures on Facebook so go on over and take a look! And what a great idea to let the kids put the treat boxes together themselves! Card kits are always hugely popular with the kids at the hospitals.
I'll be taking Valentine's Day cards over to the hospital by the end of the month (a bit late but I'm moving houses and accidently packed some of the cards I've been sent - yikes!). The next delivery will be scheduled for early March so get working on those Easter and Spring cards! Remember that cards are needed for kids of all ages (0 - 19yrs) and that there is a continuing need for birthday, congratulation and blank (no sentiment) cards.
Thank you all for your support!
Congrats on the feature, Shelley! I saw that in the magazine and it sure gave me a big smile to see it. Way to go!
ReplyDeleteThanks Thanh! The article really put a huge grin on my face too. Anything that can help get more cards to the kids! And thank you again for your cards - I have several of them in the Valentine's Day package!
