2014 has been the most successful year to date for CRY Christmas cards, selling over £20,000 worth of cards for CRY’s core funding initiatives.
We would like to say a huge thank you to Katy Turberville and Rosemary Attridge, our volunteers on the Christmas card committee. It was with great sadness that we learnt that Rosemary had died just before Christmas. Rosemary was a CRY County Representative and had worked tirelessly on behalf of CRY at every opportunity she was given, since the death of her son Stuart in 2006. She will be sorely missed by us all.
Each year the Christmas card committee carefully select the new Christmas card designs. In 2014 we had a wide range of designs, offering specially commissioned cards from Impress Publishing, along with several winter scenes painted by CRY supporter John Bennett in memory of his daughter, Laura.
