Lannie Ruth Marlar's B'day. We're gonna have a book. You need to be in it!

Friends:

 I received a note from Novice Marlar Bartlett recently. She's inviting everyone to Lannie Ruth's birthday party August 29th. Mother thinks it's her 100th b'day, but I'm not sure. 

 

After reading Novice’s note, I sent her an email and asked if she thought it would be okay if I wrote an email to Lannie Ruth’s friends and invited them to send me a “Lannie Ruth” story (inspirational, funny, embarrassing, etc.) so I could put it in book form to be presented to Lannie Ruth at the party on August 29th. Novice wrote back and said she thought it would be a great idea..

 

Here’s what I’m hoping you’ll do:

  • Write a note “Lannie Ruth note”
    • Could be simply a happy birthday wish
    • Might be a funny story
    • Might be an inspirational story.
  • Send it to me at gerrejoiner@embarqmail.com
  • Forward this note to folks who love Lannie Ruth and are probably not on Novice’s mailing list or my mailing list.
  • Print this note out and give it to Lannie Ruth’s friends (most of whom probably don’t “do” email). Ask them to write a birthday wish and get it to you or me so it can be included in the book.
    • Gerre Joiner

Here are the deadlines I’m considering:

  • If I have all the notes “in” and in printable form by Friday, August 14th, I’ll have plenty of time to mail them to Novice in time for the party on the 29th.
  • If we use the August 14th deadline as a guideline, I’ll have time to include late-senders in the book.

 

We all know how much of a treasure this will be to Lannie Ruth. It will be more of a treasure if YOU are included in the book of memories!

 Thanks!

Gerre 

 

Novice's Note:

Please mark you calendar for August 29th for the celebration of Mom's birthday!  We are going to have it at the Chaney Party Room that is close to our house.  I will send out invitations closer to the date, but wanted you to know that plans are being made, and we want you to come.  If you could send me your address, that would help me...thanks! 

Take care...looking forward to seeing all of you.
