Default Any unwanted swaps?

Ladies, as you return home from this most fabulous week, if you happen to have any swaps that you are willing to let go of, current sets or retired, please consider donating them to a charity. I would love and appreciate any that you may have. I am a volunteer to the VFW(Veterans of Foreign War), we use the fronts to send cards overseas in care packages, send to sick veterans and to the VA nursing home. Thank you for looking at my post.

Default and also..........

I would agree that if you have any swaps you would like to see get a new home.....please donate them. I happen to be sending cards to a MEdical Unit in Afghanistan. They are using these to send back to their loved ones and to have on hand for the patients. If you don't have a place to donate your extra or unwanted swaps, please PM me and we can work out how to put your swaps to good use. Thanks.....

I, too, have a great contact to donate cards to our troops overseas. Please keep all these worthy causes in mind.

Donna,

Great idea about sending stuff to the VFW or the VA. I put on a holiday party for the VA for a couple of years in AZ, sponsored by our base OSC, and it was really so nice for the patients. I'd say overall the VA was a very depressing place, and even just a little cheer from a card would go a long way there.

Kudos to your efforts. I'm currently working on b-day cards to send overseas, but I'll see what I have to send to you for the VFW.

I to would be interested in donated cards. I have a friend who is on The Relay for Life committee and they are having a craft/bakes good sale to raise money to donate. They have asked me if I would be interested in donating some cards. I would like to donate as many cards has I can to this worthy cause. So, if anyone is interested in donating cards please pm and I would be happy to share my address with you.

Thanks

Donna - I am writing your address down! God love all the demos I swapped with, but some of them really need to use their color coach and look for inspiration on SCS! LOL Thanks for making this offer!

As you can see in my signature...I have already donated over 9000 to the troops. I want to keep going and could really use more card fronts and full cards if anyone has some to spare.
Blessings..Amber
