Share the joys of the holidays this year with original holiday cards created with assistance by Marklund clients. Four designs--jolly snowmen, playful reindeer, a colorful candy cane, and a peaceful Nativity scene—are available to choose from and were created in the organization’s developmental training program by adult clients and instructors.

"This is a wonderful way to support Marklund while spreading the word about our organization with friends and family on your holiday list," noted Heather Graves, Chief Development Officer.

Orders must be placed by Nov. 15. Cards are available in packs of 20 each for $20. Orders may be shipped to the purchasers or picked up at Marklund locations.
