Varsity bowling coach receives sentimental gift of bowlers’ voices for 65th birthday
When varsity bowling coach Raymond Rogers said goodbye to his seniors at his teams end of year award celebration, it also happened to be his 65th birthday. On that eventful day, he received a unique 65th birthday gift that was far more meaningful than any bowling trophy his bowlers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a special 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 the Wildcats.
“I go out there and urge my bowlers to make me proud every day. I’ve always focused on the bowlers, and when they gave me this gift I saw how much my coaching meant to them personally”.
The bowlers and their parents wanted to give the coach a surprise present that was very personal. However, with hectic schedules, the bowlers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be simple for everyone to contribute to.
The CD the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Julie Miller, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a meaningful birthday gift.
The process is simple: friends and family call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, wish, or story. 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 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 memorable birthday group gift.
