Brainstorming for our Michael's birthday

 

Hi everyone, well this is my first attempt at starting a discussion so hope I’m doing this right... :D . A couple of weeks ago, I asked Gail when she thought would be a proper time to start thinking of what we fans want to do for our Michael’s 60th birthday. She said she was out of ideas, but suggested I’d start a thread asking fans for suggestions. I figure we have exactly 4 months, starting today,  to come up with something fun and get mobilised to achieve it. I’m no organizer, I just thought we could share ideas so let’s put our heads together and see what we can come up with! :D Take care and hugs to all, sincerely, Sylvie from Canada J

*The 2 most popular suggestions so far are:

 

- individual donations to michaelboltoncharities.com, mentionning they are made in honor of Michael’s birthday, of any amount you feel comfortable with.

-a collective wall-hanging made from personalized fabric squares sent by fans that will be stitched together. The 4 inch/10 cm squares (with small blank margin) only need have your signature and location but can be crafty as you are able. For

more info, ask here, or PM either me, or Amie Angeli who will be doing the stitching and presenting the finished product to our Michael.

 

**Note: The final deadline for recieving fabric squares is February 15th, so you don't have much time left. :D

**It would also mean a lot to Michael if fans donate to the Red Cross for victims of hurricane Sandy at:

www.redcross.org/

then E-mail Gail at boltoninfo@aol.com with your name and location, so she can add  them to the MBC donors list.

**If you feel strongly about sending Michael a card or personal gift, you may send it to:

Michael Bolton

c/o Michael Bolton Charities

P.O. Box 936

Branford, CT 06405

U.S.A.

*Note that the deadline for recieving cards and presents is February 20th 2013, whether you send them to either Gail or Michael Bolton Charities.

I know Robin, in York I had something I wanted to ask him and then we were concerned about him getting the big card everyone signed and my convo went totally another direction that night partly about that and the one other thing.......I forgot! :(  It's not easy to remember these things standing in front of MB talking sometimes!LOL 

 

We will hear about the quilt project one day and it will be a surprise for everyone!!LOL

Definitely a great idea, Meggy/Mary!  Who's planning to see him soon?  He hasn't been home lately, and soon he's off to Poland, Latvia, et alia.  Regards to all, Amie

Yep Anaheim. I wish I could do San Diego but it's bucks with hotel, train, cabs, food&so forth. Unfortunately, I owed taxes so Oops. I'm sure Michael would understand. Two shows are better than none, right? i wish I could do all 4 shows.

You will make the two you have coming up count good, Robin R. Hoping MB will at least come within reasonable driving distance for me close to Tulsa again this year!!!

Hugs,

Kathy T. :-)

Vegas is further away than San Diego but @ least in Vegas I have someone to stay with. Hotels are ridiculous & when going alone, whew. Oh& Amie, i remember now you're in Connecticut. Oops. My bad.
