RCB Sharing Christmas Program
It’s that time - to think of those who do not have the ability to provide a Christmas for their children. Here at RCB we have the “Sharing Christmas Program”. We have added, by request from some of you to have an entire family to provide the Christmas for. This year your “Sharing” if needed so badly as the homeless and needy have increased so much it will be a hard time for so many. So please Share.
The Christmas Tree is set-up in Clubhouse 1 and the names of needy children are placed on it. Please go and choose a girl or boy to share your Christmas with; by finding some items on their wish list, wrapping them up and for convenience placing them in one big bag ($1.00 store has some good ones) with the Christmas card attached (that lists the CM# of the child, this is our tracking number, ensuring that the right name receives the right gift. Bring the bag down to Clubhouse 1 and place under the Christmas Tree, we will make sure they are delivered. Any questions call Pat 76-775-1484 or come to Lot 46.
We also, have the names of a few needy families, if you can manage to provide a special Christmas for more than one, contact Pat 775-1484 and she will let you know what is available.
We have many adults in the valley who are homeless and in great need for warm clean clothing; if you have anything a used jacket for example, make sure it is clean, Christmas wrap it and write on the label, men’s Size Large or Women’s Size small. Place these under the Christmas tree as well and they too will be delivered to the needy. Another great gift is a warm blanket or sleeping bag, as it gets colder not everyone has a bed indoors.
During the winter there is always a shortage of food and we will have a food bank container set-up in Clubhouse 1 to put your donations into, if you are purchasing a gift card please deliver them to Lot 46, Ron and Pat Johns Lot #46, 775-1484 or Michelle Tracy Lot #81, 775-3660.
We want to thank you for helping to make this Christmas a little brighter with your donations. The gift of giving is a great boost to all of us.

WHAT ARE ARTIST TRADING CARDS?
I was fascinated with some miniature pictures painted by Leola and thought I would try to do some...then I found out about Artist Trading Cards. They are miniature pieces of art that are traded around the world. Artists create, trade and collect art at organized "swap" events, either in person or online. It is a great way to meet other artists and share your work. The only official rule for ATCs is the size: (2.5 x 3.5)
In 1997, M.Vanci Stirnemann, a Swiss artist, created 1200 cards by hand as part of an exhibit. On the last day, he invited others to create their own cards and trade with him during the closing reception. After that, the movement took off as other artists organized major "swap" events! Today, there are ATC swaps in almost every major city around the world. There are also many online swaps.
How did the movement start?
How do I create ATCs?
Most swaps are open to any media, materials or techniques as long as the card fits into a standard trading card sleeve. Art can be original, limited edition or series. Artists should include the following information on the back of the card: name, contact information (email or address), title of piece and number if it is part of an edition or series. ATCs are traded, not sold. However, there are some artists who choose to sell cards. Cards that are sold are called Art Card Editions or Originals (ACEO).How do I trade cards?
"the above cards painted by loisjayne.
You can locate an in-person swap in your area, find an online swap, or organize your own swap. There are a number of Web sites that others have created to help artists get started. They can be found by doing online searches using key words such as "artist trading cards." You can also find out more information by visiting www,strathmoreartist.com/arc Join the movement! Create, swap and collect!
