I did this birthday card request to all my friends when she turned 90, then again last year when she turned 95. I don't feel like waiting to 100 (neither does she).

Thread from last year

She's known to write back

She will be 96 on July 23rd.

Please send her a card, a drawing from your kids, a picture of your pet, something.

Her name/address is:

Marguerite A
41 Crestwood Avenue
Tuckahoe, NY 10707

She was an only child, never married, no kids.

Here's a pic I snapped last year with her treasure trove of cards. Feel free to use it when you post this request on facebook. :-)

Cheers,

    Will do.
    So basically my kid won't be able to go to college, but at least I'll have a set where the three most expensive cards are of a player I despise ~ CDsNuts

    I have a soft spot for the elderly. Ill purchase a card today and send it out with tomorrows mail. Great gesture, especially seeing how happy those cards makes her.

    My wife makes greeting cards as a hobby and I am sure she would love to send a nice home made card to your neighbor. This is a great idea!
    I am on a budget and I am not afraid to use it!!
