HOLIDAY CARDS FOR GEORGIA CARES CLIENTS
You will find some blank holiday cards and pens on your lunch table. Please take a few moments before and during the meeting to handwrite greetings in a few cards. They will be collected and forwarded to Georgia Cares.
Georgia Cares is an organization that provides services to children who are victims of human trafficking. The Rotary Club of Brookhaven supported Georgia Cares this year with a $2,000 District Grant that provided the organization with a high-speed, high-capacity printer for their outreach and communication needs.
As the holidays approach, Georgia Cares solicits gifts for their clients in particular residential situations. They have that covered but have asked us to write out some handwritten holiday cards for the children.
There is no need to sign your name or address the cards or envelopes. A simple message inside will lift the spirits of the child and let him or her know that someone in Atlanta wishes them well. Messages may be similar to the following:
“Sending love, joy and peace to you this holiday season from a friend in Atlanta.”
“All of us wish you a wonderful holiday season and peace and joy in the new year.”
