One of the recent Community Services projects of the Guild was creating “Thinking of You” cards for the men and women who are serving our country in the Armed Services. A special card was made for each branch of the military thru scrap booking techniques. Once the cards were completed, the Guild publicized the project and asked the public to give the Guild the names of friends and loved ones who were in the service any where in the world. The members signed the card and it was sent at no charge to the person giving the name. This is an on-going project and names are accepted by contacting the Guild thru the “Contact Us” page.
