St. Elizabeth Seton Women’s Club helps ‘send a little sunshine’

(Continued from Page 1)

“Julie had fond memories of her mother sending cards, and how it feels to receive a handwritten note as opposed to a text or an e- mail,” Schassberger said. “She said her office has a card station where employ- ees are encouraged to send a quick note to a coworker through their cam- pus mail system to wish a happy birthday or send con- gratulations. We decided to adopt that idea and the Sunshine Stand was born!” Sharon Donnelly, who makes handmade cards as a hobby, got involved and cre- ated three signature cards for the stand.
