Please come with ideas of a short quote or loving message to write on a few. Or take a few home to create. We will fill our glass bowl with these and place it on a table in CUF’s PRIDE BOOTH June 24th for folks to take. We will also be talking with folks at the booth and may write a note on PRIDE CARDS for them if they would like. Come and help us make new friends and write a special note you create just for them.
