Cards For The Troops The Batesville Area Arts Council is again working on a project to send cards to Veterans at the Arkansas Veteran’s Hospital’s within the state. For the past four years, our organization has asked for individuals and businesses to write individual notes with patriotic cards, that we have available, that are sent to the two Veteran’s Hospitals in the state. Each year these hospitals respond with a touching note of thanks and to acknowledge the importance of this small gesture of thanking and remembering our veterans who are receiving care in the Arkansas Veteran Hospital’s. BAAC Art Gallery on Main currently has patriotic note cards available for individuals, businesses or groups to write messages to our veterans to let them know how much we appreciate them. We want to encourage participation in this effort to make sure our veterans receive a small gesture of acknowledgement for their service. It means a great deal to them. Come by the gallery at 246 E. Main Street to write a message or Colleen Jackson can bring some cards by your business or school or you can email her to obtain some cards (baac@suddenlinkmail.com) BAAC Art Gallery on Main hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. every Tuesday – Friday. We will need to have all the cards in the gallery, ready for packaging, on or before 2:30 p.m. on November 7th, as we will be sending them to the Arkansas Veteran Hospitals on that day to ensure they arrive for distribution on Veteran’s Day, November 12th. Thanks in advance for being part of the worthy project.
The gallery is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. During the holiday season, the gallery will also be open on Saturdays from Nov. 13th through Dec. 18th from 10 a.m. – 3 p.m.
