I started an agency in a rural town 60 miles north of Pittsburgh PA a few years ago to ensure that my daughter with disabilities would be well-served. In the process of starting my business, a long time acquaintance asked me to add her son to my clientelle. Since that time back in June 2010, my client and friend, who experiences Down's Syndrome has lost all of his close family. Sister in 2011 - heart, Mother in 2012 - cancer, and Father in 2013 (only a month ago). Dan is an amazing 34…

Michael has a milestone birthday coming up in February 2018. I ran an idea past Gail that passed with approval.
I have small cards that are 2.5X3.5. The idea for the card is not to say happy birthday, but you have room to put a few sentences to tell Michael why you love him, his music or how his music helped you in hard times. It’s should be big enough for a wallet size photo if you would like.
Then when he’s home sitting at his desk, he can pull 1 or 2 cards to read when he has the time. Our words will be with him all year.
I request a SASE, and I will send you a card. Write your note and put in your picture. When your finished, mail it back to me.
For those out of the country, I checked with my postmaster and she said you can put your own postage on the return envelope equivalent to $1.15 US.
Email me, Sally, at MYSCRTPSSN@gmail.com and I can give you an address to send your SASE (self addressed stamped envelope).
A second option that isn’t as personal, is to email me a short note and I can cut and paste it onto a card for you. I don’t want to handle pictures this way because I’m not that computer literate and don’t want to make errors with something as personal as a picture.
When all the cards are gathered, I’ll put them in some sort of decorate box. And the box of cards will be Michael’s birthday gift from us.
It might seem early, but it’s something that we can work on Now through January. I’d like to be finished by February since I would need to get a box and mail it off to Michael.
Your welcome to share my email with anyone you think may be interested in contributing to Michael’s milestone 65!
Looking forward to hearing from you, Sally
Hi Pamela and have just read your blog about Dan and a truly wonderful but heartwrenching story at the same time and what I would suggest is that you contact Gail Atkinson, who is the moderator of the forum, about Dan and tell her your story as she is the only person, on here, who has direct contact with Michael's immediate staff and maybe, just maybe, if it could be arranged a personal message from Michael to Dan may work wonders......just a thought but PLEASE I am not saying anything like that would be possible for it is just an idea but if you think it would work, or do anything at all, then possibly you could ask Gail if it could be given consideration.
Wishing you all the luck in the world with your invaluable work Pamela !! :) Hoping too that you may find some links on the forum that will take you to performances of Michael's that Dan hasn't heard and if played to him may just bring back some of the sparkle.....I hope so !!! :) We do have a thread in the General Chat about Michael Section called "New Videos on Youtube" and that contains numerous links and in particular a lot of material from Michael's last two shows in CA in August which are exceptionally good especially too him singing "Jack Sparrow" live for the first time on a concert stage.....hope you manage to find something that Dan likes !!! :)

Hi Pamela and WELCOME to the website and I do hope you will join us in the forum section we have here which can be found by going to the "Connect" heading on your page and then clicking on "forums" when that appears above and that is where we all come together and discuss everything to do with Michael and below I have given you links into threads that we have where things are pretty active. A hint for right now is when you find something you want to follow you must indicate that fact and what you do is indicate that you wish to follow a category or thread within a category and you will then be notified by e-mail from "Michael Bolton" that either a new thread has been started within the category or, that a new post/comment has been entered in thread, you are following. For categories you will find indication box at foot of first page for each category and for threads it is located under the "reply" box toward top of page in each thread and you must change settings to show "stop following" when you want to follow.
If you have any questions about the website or forum please do not hesitate to come onto my page and I will try to answer as best I can. Should also inform you that Gail Atkinson is the moderator of the website. I should like to make it clear that I am in no way connected to admin, it is only Gail that holds any admin position.
Please enjoy your look around website and most of all, please consider staying with us and giving Michael all the support he so richly deserves !! :)
Sylvia. Your wee Scottish friend.
