New Baby Card

Guys

As we all know Mireyna has given birth to a beautiful baby girl.

I sent an ecard thingy but can't help but think we could do something different if you are all up for it.

I think we need a 2008 Rolex Catalogue and price list.

Each member could sign it and leave a goodwill message and post it on to another member in their country.

This continues until all members interested fromm that country have signed it before the catalogue is posted onto the next country and so forth and so on.

Wouldn't it be cool for the baby to have a Rolex catalogue from her birth year with messages of good luck from all over the world?

Anybody interested can pm me or just post their interest here.

Jim

Cool.

Keep em coming.

We'll start in europe, move through the east to N.Z Oz...go up to canada and down through america before it reaches it's target.

Keep posting here and I'll sort out an order, the idea being you only know the address of the guy next to you and if anyone needs a contribution towards the postage we'll sort something out.

Just want to say (Bubba you git)...this aint favourtism however it may come across. In my experience this is the first girly member to have a baby during their membership. It should be celebrated in our own unique way!!!!!!

Lets get this going.

I'll cover the US shipping costs. Hell, I will even help in the coordination. Well, I will ask one of my employees to take care of the details.
