Caring Hearts Card Drive Update
Hello! Just wanted to give you an update on the Caring Hearts Card Drive.
Thanks to you, we collected over 17,000 cards from all over the world (Qatar, Moscow, France, Germany, Australia, South Africa, etc)! These are being distributed to over 100 facilities in US, Canada and Australia. Yay! Soooo many people will be smiling.
Thank you.
And a big thank you to Vera Yates (who really is the heart behind these efforts), Tina Schrof, Anita Recksiedler and Caroline Bredeson. You girls rock. And even more hugs go to the many of you out there that volunteered to take cards to nursing homes.
To all the sponsors, thank you so much for your support. And, we encourage all of you to please support our generous sponsors as well. These are the companies that make this hobby of our so amazing.
