Each year at our annual department Holiday Party, we ask those in attendance to help us select the images that should appear on our end-of-year card for our donors and friends.
Below are twelve images that have been popular on our social media platforms this year and that capture some of the people, events, and experiences of 2021 during a full year of pandemic life.
The top six images — along with some other highlights — will appear on our 2021 holiday card, which will arrive to the mailboxes of our friends and donors in early January and appear on our social media platforms soon after.
Thank you in advance for your help!
With best wishes for a restful and healthy holiday season —
