The fire has been one of the most destructive fires in Colorado, destroying more homes than any other blaze in state history. 700 firefighters and support personnel have been in action for days!  We will be making thank-you cards for firefighters, law enforcement, and rescue/aid workers helping with the fire efforts.  We need help!  Artists, art therapists, students, friends, family, Boulderites, and the like....

If you're interested in mailing in cards in from somewhere else or making a donation, please email chelseaoneil@gmail.com for contact info.


We will be making thank-you cards for firefighters, law enforcement, and rescue/aid workers helping with the fire efforts on
Saturday, Sept. 18th we will be meeting in the studio from 12pm-4pm to…
•    Cut paper
•    Fold cards and bind in small packages with ribbon
•    Decorate cards
•    Write messages

Cards will be at the front desk of the TCP office, the art studio and possibly somewhere on the Arapahoe campus for students and faculty to write messages and/or decorate the cards and then return them to the pick-up point.  I will then collect all of the cards and drop them off at designated stations throughout the community.  Awesome Amy of the 1st years is checking on card stock donations.  If you have any materials that could be of use please bring them by on Saturday the 18th!

Art therapy students are highly encouraged to pick up a small stack of cards to decorate and return without messages so that those that don’t feel comfortable decorating are still able to write messages.  
This is a GREAT activity for students to work on while in community art studio or on Sunday if you’re willing to help out in NCAS!  Feel free to take cards to your places of employment, in the community or classes, for your roommates, or bring your own homemade cards from other places for the donation.   
We are looking for any and all forms of gratitude, particularly blank cards which will make it easier for those that do not identify as artists or have the time to decorate to be able to participate by writing messages in beautiful, handmade cards.
