BACKGROUND

Every year since 2014 we’ve sent out birthday cards and I normally pick a new design each summer for the whole next year.  But this year, we’re going to gather up all our leftovers from previous years and use them.  A different card at random for each active* subscriber whose birthday we know (and whose address we have.)  And I want to try to have some fun with it for all of us!

HOW IT WORKS

Starting with the August ’23 birthdays and continuing into July ’24, active* subscribers whose birthdays we know will receive ONE of the 8 or 9 previous birthday cards that have been sent since roughly 2014.  When you receive yours, see if you can guess which year it was sent.  Send in your guess (respond to any Mailing, e-mail directly at larrycampbell@missouristate.edu, or use the Contact Form) within 10 days, and your name will be entered in the drawing pool.

I’ll collect the guesses (which don’t actually have to be right!! 🙂), and four times a year (Oct 1, Jan 1, Apr 1, and July 1), we’ll have a mini-drawing and 1 – 3 lucky winners will receive a prize (TBA, each drawing).  THEN, at the end of the year, we’ll have another drawing and a GRAND PRIZE(s) will be awarded.

SO, get yourselves ready!  Make sure we know your birthday and your address (if you’re willing to share either/both). 

Let’s have a FUN year of birthdays!!

* Typically, we consider ‘active’ to mean opening at least 50% of the Mailings – or several consecutive Mailings.
