[tri-wings] In Need of Feedback

Hello all!
Like other organizations, Noah's Never Ending Rainbow has been tossing the idea 
around about thank-you cards/note cards and holiday/special occasion 
cards...our thought was that they would be designed by Trisomy children, their 
siblings, the parent or a family member.  We as an organization are in need of 
thank-you cards/note cards and would like to expand the idea to holiday/special 
occasion cards and offer them to all as it would be an ideal way to honor our 
precious Trisomy loved ones, get families involved and be able to share them 
with others!

We are still brainstorming but depending on how many parents or families are 
perceptive to the idea, we would select 5 or so drawings for general 
thank-you/note cards and 5 or so holiday/special occasion designs.  Again, we 
would use the general thank-you/note cards internally but we would also sell 
both sets or combine them for a minimum donation as it will help fundraise and 
raise awareness of Trisomy to the general public as you would be sending them 
out to friends, family and colleagues.  My initial thoughts are that the front 
of the card would be the special design with the name of the artist whether it 
be a Trisomy child, sibling, parent or loved one with the diagnosis of the 
child and the back would have the mission statement of Noah's Never Ending 
Rainbow with a brief definition of Trisomy.

Also, I was recently at Things Remembered and each year they have a special 
edition holiday ornament with proceeds going to Make-A-Wish...for the past 
several years our family has purchased the ornament as they granted a wish to 
Noah prior to his passing and that is the least we could do to support their 
phenomenal mission.  We would love to do an annual holiday ornament like that 
which could be designed by a Trisomy child, their sibling, parent or family 
member.  It is too late to do it for this holiday season but we can begin 
accepting designs for the 2005 holidays!  We may not get them into a store like 
Things Remembered just yet but we have to start somewhere!

Thoughts???  Anyone interested in having your child, yourself or family member 
design a card???  Also, if you or someone you know is a printer and would offer 
their printing services pro bono or at a reduced rate, please e-mail me 
off-list at coreydana@xxxxxxxxxxx or dana@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Look forward to hearing back from you all!

Angel blessings to all,
