November 2012

Gerry and Terry will be 50! Shhh...its a secret!

As you may know, Mom and Dad will be celebrating 50 years of marriage on 2/22/13! They've said what would make the day special is to spend it with their kids and grandkids. No big party, no big splash. So Vicki and Jim and Mike and Lisa are reaching out to you to help us celebrate with them.

We can't resist the opportunity to let them know how special they are so we are planning to put together an Anniversary Book for them. We invite you to send us your celebratory words. We'll compile everyone's wishes into a single book and present it to them as a SURPRISE on their anniversary. If you know of others who might be interested, please invite them to share, too!

Here's how it works:

1. Decide what you want to say to the anniversary couple. Do you have words of wisdom to guide them through the "after 50 years? Do you have some special memory of them? Is there a story about their relationship you want to share? What does their love mean to you? What do you think of when you think about the two of them together?

Write your thoughts down on paper and send them to the address below. If you have a card you want to send, we can include that, too. Photos welcome as well.

If mailing your book contribution, please send to:

Use their address address now that it has been delivered - or click here.

Please send your wishes by November 30th to give us plenty of time to assemble the book. (They left room for more additions after the fact.)

Don't tell them about the book! IT IS A SECRET! :) (And a well-kept one at that!)

We'll be sure to take lots of photos on the big day and share them with you.

Thank you in advance for sharing your friendship and love on this special occasion!

Love, Vicki & JIm Hogan and Mike and Lisa Flaherty
