Holiday Cards
Local VFWs, Hospitals, Long-Term Care Facilities, Police Departments
Making cards only takes a few minutes and can go a long way. The Delta Nu Chapter dedicates time each time we meet to service as a way for our sisters to bond while focusing on one of our most important values. Along with other quick projects, our chapter has been creating cards as forms of appreciation for our local community for around 50 years. Some of our service projects involving card making include, valentines for Veterans, cards of Appreciation for health care workers, holiday cards, and general notes of positivity.Â
During the Covid-19 Pandemic, our members used websites like canva.com to create cards from around the U.S as our members contributed from home.
