The Sixtieth Year

April 19, 2010

Dear Friends and Future Friends,
I am about to embark on a journey of another decade and I want to do something significant, meaningful, rewarding, etc, etc, etc,. What to do? What to do? Since I am still in the “fifties” decade, I have a year and a half before my next decade birthday year. Get focused, get goal oriented, and make a difference. So, my plan is to raise money during my 60th year by asking everyone and everyone asking everyone else to contribute one dollar to go towards a charity. I have 111 friends on facebook so that’s a start with $111. And if they all ask a friend, that is $222. Not an earth shattering amount, but it is going to be the sixties snowball. Build! Build! Build!

The Sixties Snowball! I have a name. I still don’t have a cause, but that should be the easy part. Again, it will have to be significant, meaningful, rewarding, etc. etc. etc.

Okay, so I have found one outlet to canvass for money, and now I need a few more to make my contribution to society and to the charity that will benefit from my birthday. The Ellen Degeneres show? Oprah? The Today Show? Maybe I will try all of them and see what happens. The least I could do is get all the sixty year olds to contribute. How many would that be? I'm sure it is a significant number. After all, we are part of the infamous baby boomer generation.

It is still early but I need to start the planning now. World, you have not heard the last of me!!! $60, $600. $6000, and beyond. I really believe it is possible.

So, if you are reading this and think that you would like to be part of this great celebration, send it to everyone you know. The only contribution needed is $1.00 per person. I promise to keep everyone informed on my accomplishments for the year. Read my post about what my plans are for my sixtieth year. Maybe there will be sponsorships! The sky is the limit. I can't wait. Really? For this next birthday? How amazing is that?
