LOCAL SHOPPING TIP: Des Moines Note Cards, Holiday Cards & Calendars Make Great Gifts
Here’s another hot local shopping tip – the Des Moines Legacy Foundation is also selling some great, locally-made, photographed (by Carmen Scott) and produced Note Cards, Holiday Cards and 2010 Calendars – all of which make wonderful, useful gifts at a very low price.
Net proceeds help to sustain the charitable programs of the Des Moines Legacy Foundation.
Calendars are just $5.00 each, and are available at the Des Moines Senior Center, Des Moines Field House, and City Hall.
A supply of 60 different Des Moines note cards and four Holiday card scenes are available at the Des Moines Senior Center for just $2.00 each. Many of them are also available at Des Moines Drugs.
The Des Moines Legacy Foundation would like to thank everyone for their support! Here’s some info from their website:
Every day our lives are enriched by the work of parks, recreation and senior services. Preserving our environment, giving dignity to our elderly, nurturing our children, providing activities that enrich and strengthen our community, these are all important values in Des Moines. The Des Moines Legacy Foundation was created in October 1999 to help and support the City of Des Moines parks, recreation, and senior services programs and ensure that Des Moines remains a beautiful, healthy, safe and caring place to raise our children and enjoy retirement.
The Des Moines Legacy Foundation is a not for profit, tax exempt, 501c3 foundation. As a non-profit organization, the foundation is able to write grants, fundraise & distribute funds for park, recreation, and senior programs and services that benefit and enhance the Des Moines community.
Through parks, recreation, and senior services, YOU can make a difference.
