JC students create Holiday Cards for military

In its third year, the City of Johns Creek's 2010 "Holiday Cards for the Military" project brought out the creativity of many young artists who competed to design the city's annual card for military personnel.

The winning designs (from seven fifth-graders at Ocee and Findley Oaks) were compiled into a montage for the cover of four over-sized greeting cards to be sent to our Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force units as part of the city's Founders Day observation Nov. 29-Dec. 4.

Please stop by City Hall starting Monday, Nov. 29 to sign the cards, which will also be available to sign during "Santa Jam" at Johns Creek High School on Saturday, Dec. 4.
