Invitation to Join the Mayor’s Birthday Club


October 5th, 2007

Hey Kids! You are invited to join the Mayor’s Birthday Club! To become a member of the Mayor’s Birthday Club, all you need to do is enroll! Then ask your friends to send a donation to Crisis Nursery instead of buying you the “usual party gifts” at your next birthday party.

As a member of the Mayor’s Birthday Club, you will be giving up getting those little gifts from your pals, but you will not give up the cool, fun birthday party with your friends. Also, your family will still get you a really nice present.

Steps to take to be a member of the Mayor’s Birthday Club:

  1. Talk this over with your parents.
  2. Fill out the Mayor’s Birthday Club Enrollment form, ask your parents to sign and mail, e-mail, or fax the enrollment form to the Mayor’s Office.
  3. Include a handwritten note with your party invitations, telling your friends that you would rather have them make a donation to the Crisis Nursery instead of buying you a birthday present.
  4. Include with your party invitations to friends a stamped mailing envelope for each friend to send their donation to the Crisis Nursery.
  5. The mailing envelope should already be addressed to the Crisis Nursery Mayor’s Birthday Club, 1309 West Hill St, Urbana, IL 61801.
  6. If you want, you can make your own mailing labels for the Mayor’s Birthday Club donations to Crisis Nursery. Print these labels onto label paper and stick the labels onto your stamped envelops.

The Mayor’s office will send you a confirmation card, letting you know that they have received your enrollment form.

To celebrate your kindness, you will be invited to a once a year event called the Mayor’s Birthday Party. We will have cake and ice cream and other treats at the Mayor’s Birthday Club Party, and you will be individually recognized by the Mayor for your citizenship and generosity. You will be officially awarded a Mayor’s Certificate of Appreciation. You will also have your picture taken with the Mayor!

Parents who have questions may also call Peggy Wade at the Mayor’s office: 217/403-8720.
