[Leica] [OM] IMGS: Syrian Refugees

[Tina Manley]

Gerry  -

I didn't choose to do the notecards.  It was determined by a committee who
wanted to offer options to those who could not afford to buy a print but
still wanted to contribute to the scholarship fund.  The notecards will
have a message on them about the children and how to help.  We are also
having barbecues and other fund-raisers throughout the year.  There will be
lots of college students attending who will not be able to afford much!

Thanks,

Tina
