Hey Everyone! How’s your summer so far?
April is a special month for a host of reasons. For students, it means a well deserved break from the toils and troubles of school, for flowers it signals that it is their time to go forth, multiply and make meadows and gardens as joyous and as colorful as can be.
For us here at Absolute Cousins, it means time to put on our party hats and CELEBRATE because it is the birth month of our very own GRETCHEN HO! (cue) *CONFETTI!!! BALLOONS!!! PARTY MUSIC!!* ^_^
Jen, as we like to call her, just celebrated her 19th birthday last Sunday, April 19, 2009. While most of our family gathered to watch her at the opening of the V-League tournament and celebrate her birthday the best way we know how (EAT! Hehehe!), we felt sad not being able to take you guys along with us for the festivities and the feasting. SOOO, we decided to take the celebrating to another level by making a web promo exclusively for our dear readers!
Get the chance to own a V-League volleyball signed by Gretchen Ho!!! But what’s the catch you ask? Well…
We want YOU to take the WACKIEST most CREATIVE most out of this world CUHRAZY picture you can next to Gretchen Ho’s promo pin-up at any Shakey’s restaurant in the Metro! And the person who can send in the best picture stands to win an official VLeague Ball personally autographed by none other than Gretchen Ho herself!
Start sending in your entries to absolutecousins(at)yahoo(dot)com with subject header “HAPPY BIRTHDAY GRETCHEN!” Promo ends with the ending of the actual V League season elimination on May 14, 2009 =)
Help make Gretchen’s birth month super special!
