The First Card-Making Party!

After three hours of cutting, taping, and eating chocolate on a gray Saturday afternoon, new and old friends ended up making nearly 200 cards! We developed quite a system of assembly, taking care to squeeze behind each others' chairs as we moved around our very full apartment! Now there are over 50 packs of eight cards just waiting to be purchased! And since our goal is to buy a heifer ($500), when all 50 packs are sold, we'll have ourselves a cow! (Check out the post below for more information and details). So if you feel inspired to purchase or sell these cards, please contact me at ellie_mcdermott@yahoo.com. Hosting card parties, taking cards to your place of work or worship, buying them as gifts - there are so many opportunities to spread the word about Heifer and our project. I look forward to hearing from you soon!






I want to thank Rosemary, Kayce, Lindsay, Liz, Allison, Danielle, Becca, Eileen, Christina, Katie, and Stephanie for spending their Saturday making a difference!
