The Markses bake and deliver cookies for Christmas, led by Mark a veterinarian and his wife Shanon with help from their daughters and Winona Marks in Lawrence. They pack oatmeal cookies and sandies in clamshells for delivery to call center staff police dispatchers and nurses, emphasizing the gesture over recognition. Mark previously did holiday on call work at his vet hospital and while stationed in Kuwait in 2003 continued the family tradition by sending care packages to service members.
