The Bermuda Junior Service League has got an early jump on its annual Christmas card programme.

Designed by well-known local artists, each of the five cards in the collection feature a unique Bermudian theme.

Included in the collection are: "A Front Street Christmas'' by Laura Elgey, "Hitching a Ride'' by Peter Woolcock, "Old Buttery at Christmas Time'' by Molly Smith, "Poinsettia and Push Out Blind'' by Bruce Stuart, and "Sea Star'' by Sheila Semos.

The cards are available to businesses and individuals. The League will also co-ordinate special printing requirements.

Proceeds from the sale of the Christmas cards will be donated to the Bermuda Debate Society.

Last year more than $13,000 was raised from the Christmas card sales.
