Holiday Cards

[bea_deans_girl]

Thinking about sending me a holly-daze card this year?

Well, DON'T!!!!

If you truly would like to make me smile, send a greeting for those brave men and women serving in the Armed Forces and their families. I would love an empty mantle this year, knowing cards brightening the day of others.

Here's the deal. . .

Cards MUST arrive by Monday, December 7th

Holiday Mail for Heroes
P.O. Box 5456
Capitol Heights, MD 20791-5456


The cards are screened for hazard materials by Pitney Bowes and distributed by the Red Cross.

Please don’t forget to follow these guidelines while preparing your holiday greetings!

Do...
Sign all cards
Entitle cards “Dear Service Member, Family or Veteran”
Limit cards to 15 per person or 50 for school class or business group
Bundle groups of cards in single, large envelopes


Don’t...
Send letters
Include personal information such as home or email addresses
Use glitter – excessive amounts can aggravate health issues of wounded recipients
