THANK YOU DEAR FRIENDS AND FAMILY

The Alaska surprise gift was a success, and we wanted to thank each and every one of you for your love and generosity in helping us send two fabulous people to their Alaskan dream vacation! They are so appreciative of everything, and are only now starting to digest the reality that in a couple of weeks, they will be going to Alaska!

We love and appreciate every one of you.

Thanks again for all of your love and support!

ORIGINAL TEXT

Can you help us help them to celebrate in Alaska?

Please check on "UPDATES" to view the latest with the anniversary surprise and travel plans. Check often, we will be updating regularly :)

We are so excited to celebrate the 50th wedding anniversary of two extraordinary people. They have spent the past 50 years giving generously of themselves in every way. We feel honored as their family to be able to surprise them with a trip they have only ever dreamed of - that of an Alaskan getaway!

Please know that we do not expect anyone to contribute to this fund. We only ask you to contribute if you were already planning to give them a gift for their 50th wedding anniversary. But, of course, you're still welcome to provide your preferred gift to them if you choose to do so, or even a simple card would make them feel so loved.

But if you decide you want to contribute to this fund, know that we are keeping this fund "top-secret", and we plan to present them with their SURPRISE travel plans at a small family gathering on Saturday, April 29th.

SURPRISE PARTY ON SUNDAY APRIL 30TH

If you received this link, you've also been invited to their second surprise, a larger gathering on Sunday, April 30th. Please contact Teri Patterson or Vonne Anderson for details about the gathering if you do not have the details.

But if you are unable to attend the gathering, would you be willing to make a video to express your love and well wishes to the special anniversary couple? If yes, please email [email protected] and we will compile all the videos together to present to Neal and Rebecca on April 30th.

In addition, we will video-record their reaction to receiving this gift so that all who contributed can share in their delight and surprise.

ALASKA TRAVEL

Their travel dates to Alaska will be from May 27 - June 5th. They will be visiting glaciers, mountains, and whale watching. The gift includes their flights, hotels, car rentals, whale watching excursion, and $1000 in spending money!

Thank you for being so considerate, and if you have any questions, please reach out to Teri Patterson: 949-370-9828
