Creative present for an archery coach’s 65th birthday
When varsity archery coach Stanley Richardson bid farewell to his seniors at his teams annual award ceremony, it also happened to be his 60th birthday. On that meaningful day, he received a surprise 60th birthday keepsake that was far more memorable than any archery plaque his archers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a keepsake CD filled with the voices of his colleagues, his graduating archers, and their parents, expressing their thanks and warm wishes. The recordings ranged from funny to sentimental, and demonstrated to him how much he had meant to his team.
“I go out there and urge my archers to be the best that they can be every day. I’ve always focused on the team, and when they gave me this gift it demonstrated how much my philosophy meant to them personally”.
The archers and their parents wanted to give the coach a memorable present that was very personal. But, with frantic schedules, the archers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be simple for everyone to contribute to.
The present the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Jenna Anderson, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a personalized birthday gift.
The process is simple: friends and family call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite story, memory or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. You can download the recordings for free to your computer using iTunes so that you can make your own CD, 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 archers 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 thoughtful birthday present.
