KNPS Holiday Cards

Some members have expressed an interest in purchasing Holiday Cards again this year.  Because it is late (already!) to start on this project, the Marilyn's have agreed to have most of the past images and a few new ones available on the same cardstock as in the past. The cards will be sold on a pre-order basis at the previous rate of $2 each or 10 for $15. The order form is available below. Orders can be emailed to Marilyn George at iluv2photo@gmail.com.  Give your name and phone number (in case she has questions), along with the image number and quantity for each design you are ordering.  Payment will be due when you receive your order at the November 24th meeting or by arranging a pick-up with Marilyn George.  Marilyn’s number is 208-263-9470.
