Varsity archery coach receives unique gift of archers’ voices for 65th birthday
When Roy Adams, a varsity archery coach, bid farewell to his seniors at his teams end of year award celebration, it also happened to be his 60th birthday. On that eventful day, he received a nostalgic 60th birthday present that was far more personal than any archery plaque his archers or fellow coaches could ever give him. He received a special 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 what he had meant to his team.
“I go out there and urge my archers to give 200 percent every day. I’ve always focused on the team, and when they gave me this gift it made it clear how much my philosophy meant to them personally”.
The archers and their parents wanted to give the coach a fun present that was very personal. However, with frantic schedules, the archers and their parents knew that the group gift would have to be easy for everyone to contribute to.
The gift the coach received is called LifeOnRecord.
Team mom, Julie Gorski, got the idea when her husband gave her a LifeOnRecord CD as a sentimental birthday gift.
The process is simple: friends and family call a toll-free number and are directed to record a favorite memory, story or wish. Theres no limit on the number of callers that can phone-in or on the total number of recordings you receive. The recordings can be downloaded for free using iTunes so that you can make your own compact disc, 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.
“The archers and their families that gave me this gift mean a lot 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 fun birthday gift.
