Now is a great time to get greeting cards for the many upcoming holidays, such as Thanksgiving, Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year’s Day. And, don’t forget cards for friends and family with fall and winter birthdays or anniversaries.

Crystal Cards offers a wide variety of greeting cards that will be on sale on Monday, Nov. 4, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. in the Renaissance lobby and Wednesday, Nov. 6, from 9:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. at Sun Lakes Ladies’ Coffee in the Cottonwood San Tan Ballroom.

Crystal Cards are “recycled” cards, which fashioned from parts of used cards that might otherwise be thrown away. The money raised by selling these beautiful new cards (at only $1 each) goes directly to help victims of domestic violence.

If you would like to help by donating cards (be sure to provide the entire card so we have the inside message as well as the front), donation bins are in each of the Sun Lakes communities. You can also bring donated cards to any sales event or work session.

Check our website, www.thecrystalcardproject.org, or our Facebook page for a full calendar of events, locations of donation bins, and other information about this project.
