Saint John Community Loan Fund

"These cards are beautiful, and as an artist, a gallery owner and someone who's had family use the Loan Fund, it has been an honor to be involved in this project."

Cliff Turner, a donor of a painting in 2004 Speaking at the launch, October 16, 2006

Description of the cards

The cards are sold in clear acetate packages that include envelopes and 8 cards - 2 of each of that series' images.

The Greeting Card has the local artwork on the front and on the back there is the artist's photo and statement, along with the Loan Fund description. This year we are offering personalized inscriptions for a limited time only!

This year's cards (Series G) and Series E are inscribed with Merry Christmas and Joyeux Noel. Series D, A and B are inscribed with " Peace, Joy and Friendship" in both English and French. The inside of Series C is blank for longer personal notes which can be used either during the Holiday Season or throughout the year.

The cost for all packages is $12.00 plus shipping.

Thank you for supporting our fundraiser

The Saint John Community Loan Fund partners with local artists to create unique greeting cards that celebrate their creativity and provide a revenue source to help us help others in the community. All proceeds after expenses go to help us provide credit and support to people in our community - to create income, build assets and get into decent shelter. The set of images for 2009 were donated by Rob Roy.

To order cards send us a quick email to loanfund@nbnet.nb.ca or simply call us at 506-652-5600.
