Jsrmom-I'd say go ahead and get the cards made and make it recurring. We can always use them to put them in the boxes we send off every month. Knowing that there are some sailors that are parents these preschool cards will probably be pretty special to them. Can never have too much of anything really.

Fantastic Lynne. Loved that! I haven't yet written a thank you note to the preschool that made those cute little hand made cards for the sailors. Now I have something to put in the thank you note that is from them as well. The preschool said they'll do it again around Christmas.
