Our chosen community project is the International Memory Box Program. This is a national effort in which boxes are hand painted by our members and donated to hospital grief programs for distribution to parents who have lost children during or after pregnancy. This is a project that touched our hearts and we are proud to participate. Please contact us if you wish to donate funds with which boxes can be purchased, painted by our members, and donated to hospitals.

Bonnie reports that we painted 42 Memory Boxes in December 2011. These went to California, Louisiana, Texas and South Dakota. That brings our 2011 total up to 660 and our total since we started painting Memory Boxes to
9,074. That is a very impressive number!! I hope that we can hit the 10,000 Memory Boxes goal in 2012.
Here is a Thank You note received by Bonnie: "Thank you very much for the Memory Boxes. The time and dedication each Artist puts into these boxes shows in their work. Again, Thanks for all you do for our families."
