LASTING HEARTS CARD DRIVE EVENT –
RESCHEDULED!! The
weather got the best of us last month so we’ve rescheduled this Card Drive for
this month. Lasting Hearts was created to help comfort parents, mothers in
particular, who have lost a child in pregnancy or older. To raise awareness,
Lasting Hearts is donating a book, a handstamped card and a resource card to
doctors’ offices to help ease the pain of parents who have lost a child. ARTSY is participating in this cause by
providing love through handmade sympathy cards, with a simple message of
support written inside. Please plan now
to join us in making sympathy cards using a few specifically designed stamps
and products from Hero Arts. There is no
monetary cost to you…just your time in making a few cards to send in support of
these special mothers. All supplies are
provided. We hope you will register for this class to support this special cause. With Becki (and hopefully Caron!) on Tuesday, 5/24 from 2-4. FREE, but registration is required so we can be prepared with enough supplies.
