Michele “read her card front and back, even noting the hearts and stars on it.” Robert loved his card! So did Aly! Thank you Nirit Katzur Roddy of Fit With Nirit, LLC. (and of the Business Women’s Network of Howard County) for organizing the “card shower” and thank you to all the young artists!

Sometimes it is the little things that matter the most…a big shout out to the Elkridge Mom’s Group! Their daughters made these beautiful cards to bring happiness and joy to the people we support and to our staff who continue to work so hard during this pandemic!
