4 Months till Christmas Eve
& the Holiday Cheer is at DCH!

Premiere viewing of 2005 Holiday Card Collection
Wednesday, August 24th
11 a.m.

Driscoll Children’s Hospital Lobby

(Corpus Christi, TX) The hottest month of the year is bringing “holiday cheer” to Driscoll Children’s Hospital. Throughout the summer months, the 2005 Holiday Card Committee has had their eye on the Holiday Season and the forecast is shining bright with outstanding artwork for this season’s card collection.

The selection came from a variety of patients who put summer behind to bring you a holiday card collection you will want to see and treasure. They put their paint brush to canvas and gave our Holiday Card Committee a viewing that brought excitement about the upcoming holiday season. A Snowman on a beach and a gingerbread girl in a bikini are just a couple of samples of the eclectic selection of artwork.

It’s our holiday wish to showcase our 2005 Holiday Card Collection. Please stop by Wednesday, August 24th at 11a.m. in our Hospital Lobby to see a prototype of our 2005 card collection and meet some of the children who are bringing you a South Texas Holiday season to share with family and friends.

The Holiday Card Collection will officially go on sale in October when Driscoll Children’s Hospital unveils the final product of Holiday Cards. Currently, the Hospital’s Gift Shop is taking orders to prepare for the upcoming holiday season. For orders, please call 694-5011.
