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!
