Surprise 65th birthday gift gives voice to a winning bowling team
When Anthony Gonzales, a varsity bowling coach, bid farewell to his seniors at his teams annual award ceremony, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that eventful day, he received a thoughtful 65th birthday gift that was far more memorable than any bowling trophy his bowlers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a keepsake CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating bowlers, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and showed him how much he had meant to his bowlers.
"I go out there and urge my bowlers to make me proud every day. I've always focused on the team, and when they gave me this gift I saw how much my philosophy meant to them personally".
The bowlers and their parents wanted to give the coach a meaningful present that was very personal. But, with frantic schedules, the bowlers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be easy for everyone to contribute to.
The CD the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Tiffany Mann, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a memorable birthday gift.
The process is simple: friends and family call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, story or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. The recordings can be downloaded for free using iTunes so that you can make your own compact disc, or LifeOnRecord can create a keepsake CD with a personalized label and metal case. An unlimited plan with free download capability into iTunes costs $49.99, or an unlimited plan with a keepsake CD costs $74.98.
It is a unique, affordable service that allows you to create a highly personal gift with ease.
"My bowlers mean the world to me, and this is the perfect way for me to remember them and their impact after my coaching days are over. The mom who organized and put this together is my hero".
If you'd like to be a hero to your loved one, you can purchase LifeOnRecord and give them a surprise birthday group gift.
