It may feel a little un-traditional, but it gives everyone participating in a birthday a way of nurturing one of the things that is most important in a child's life: their school, their community.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of us parents have been noticing that our children have more than enough toys. Some of us also notice that many presents of toys on Birthdays can overwhelm children. We end up feeling as if it is impossible for our children to honor those gifts.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We're excited about the possibility that your gift to our child can nourish something so important for our family, for the community and for future families.  We love the idea that you can help us begin contribute to our children's legacy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5218987536541305234-6853539757994350791?l=seasonsbirthdayclub.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://seasonsbirthdayclub.blogspot.com/feeds/6853539757994350791/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5218987536541305234&amp;postID=6853539757994350791' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5218987536541305234/posts/default/6853539757994350791'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5218987536541305234/posts/default/6853539757994350791'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://seasonsbirthdayclub.blogspot.com/2007/09/why-seasons-birthday-club.html' title='Why The Seasons Birthday Club?'/><author><name>beth taylor-schott</name><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1295/847697212_813e4d1461_m.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218987536541305234.post-7913006687654994764</id><published>2007-09-22T11:10:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-09-23T11:22:53.461-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No Worries!</title><content type='html'>If there is something that you'd really love to give the birthday child or you would rather not make a donation to The Seasons Way, please, by all means follow your heart.
