She will accept your cards every month at meetings or you may leave them on her front porch in the designated box (1940 Palo Alto Ave). The cards require no envelope, no special size, can be folded or flat, written in or blank. She asks that artists do sign their cards. If you would like to hear from the persons receiving the cards, include your e-mail address. If you have any questions, contact Lee Asta (Cell - 352-223-7687.)
