Christmas in July Cards looks to leave no one alone at the holidays
Sherrill Willis and a few friends have gotten together every July to make Christmas cards for area nursing home residents. Last year the group made 500 cards, and this year they have set their sights higher, at 1,000 cards. The idea, Willis said, was to expand out to the tri-county area and to get Christmas cards to not only nursing home residents, but even people in situations such as low-income housing.
