Send greetings to service personnel

America's wounded service members are always grateful for supportive cards and notes - especially during the holidays. All are invited to mail cards along with personal messages of support to wounded service members at military hospitals around the country, through a unique partnership between the American Red Cross and Pitney Bowes Inc.

The American Red Cross will collect, review and distribute holiday greeting cards to wounded military personnel.

For security reasons, only holiday cards and not packages will be accepted. Red Cross volunteers will receive and bundle the cards, which will be shipped by Pitney Bowes Government Solutions. Then, Red Cross volunteers at the medical facilities will distribute the cards throughout the holiday season.

Address cards to: We Support You During Your Recovery! c/o American Red Cross, PO Box 419, Savage, MD 20763-0419

Be sure to affix adequate postage. Cards must be received no later than Dec. 27.

Holiday contest ends tonight

If you've decorated for the holiday season, The Citizen invites residents of Cayuga County, Skaneateles, Jordan, Elbridge and Seneca Falls to send in photos of their lit up houses for our Citizen Holiday Contest.

Houses will be displayed online at auburnpub.com and will be judged by The Citizen staff. The top three will win gas cards - $100, $50 and $25 - and the overall winner will be featured in a future Lake Life story.

Interested decorators can send their best photo and a short explanation of why you should be chosen to CitizenHolidayContest@gmail.com or upload photos online. Entries must be received by midnight tonight.
