Musicians, please bring your instruments!!
Bob grew up in a family where his siblings loved to sit around and play gospel and country gospel music. They had a string bass, a banjo, guitars, a steel guitar and other instruments. He didn’t play, but loved to listen. It will be a great time for all the musicians to play together, after the concert.
Gifts
Rather than gifts, Bob has requested that people donate to Adventist World Radio (AWR). There will addressed envelopes to AWR for you to use if you desire to donate. Thank you for considering this as an option. Bob was featured in one of their “commercials” when he was 95 years old. Here is a link to AWR, so you can learn more about it: https://awr.org/
With Gratitude
It is with gratitude to God that we celebrate Bob’s birthday. God is the loving Life Giver and the source of all joy and goodness. What a blessing my gentle and generous dad has been to me all these years!
Many thanks to everyone who has been such a help to me in making this party a reality. You know who you are, and I love and appreciate you!
