The Blick store in Wheaton, IL has been collecting Artist Trading Cards throughout October to send to U.S. troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Walter Reed Hospital. Cards will be sent out in November by The Thank You Foundation (www.thethankyoufoundation.org), an organization that provides assistance for current U.S. troops and veterans.

Before they are sent, the Wheaton store will have the over 3,000 cards created by students, artists, and community members on display during regular business hours on October 28th and October 29th, 2009. Stop by and view these special works of art.
