Some friends of mine have wanted to do something special for Tom for his birthday, something big like him; something big like the impact he's had on the show. I think it's a fine idea so I agreed to post their message.
If you participate, please make any messages short and sweet. Tom Welling, if a lot of people participate, will get a lot of cards and notes so a simple "Happy Birthday, Tom!" will probably be perfect.
If you want to give feedback to Valerie, see her post on her livejournal HERE.
Don't forget to get these out soon since Tom's 31st birthday is on April 26th, which is just a few days before SMALLVILLE is scheduled to stop filming.
MISSION OBJECTIVE:
To wish Tom Welling a very happy 31st birthday, and at the same time show this talented actor a little fandom love.
MISSION PARAMETERS:
Well, it’s really simple. Send a birthday card. That’s it! Or maybe, a postcard with a personalized greeting. Whatever works best for you. It’s not complicated. Make it a serious card, and write him a little note. Or find a funny card, and just sign your name. Make some SV artwork on your computer, print it out, and stick it in an envelope.
Like I said, its so simple! It's up to you to find the best way to wish the big guy an awesome B-Day!
The address to the Smallville studio is provided at the bottom of this message. It appears that the show will be filming until almost the very end of April, but that is fast approaching. So, we’ll need to get this mission underway with strike force like speed.
Unfortunately, due to the time crunch, there’s no time to try and gather up the greetings in one place, and send it in one big package. So, it’s up to all of you to join in on the mission, and send something yourself, directly. It’s just the cost of a card/postcard, and the postage to get it from where you are to Vancouver, BC, Canada.
And please, for those of you located outside of the USA and Canada, please consider joining the effort. You might have to get that mailed ASAP, but just think how cool it would be for him to get a birthday card from Australia? Or Brazil? Or Japan? Or France?
One request though. It would be nice if we could show that this is an organized effort. To do so, I believe all that’s required would be for all of us to include “OPERATION BIRTHDAY CARD” somewhere on the outside of your envelope. Let him know that we’re all in this together.
Feedback is totally welcome, and the more we can spread this message, the more mail the poor SV staff has to handle. Also, it would be really great to get an idea of how many people have decided to join us. So, if you could leave a message and let us know that you dropped something in the mail, we’d appreciate it. If you want to keep your participation anonymous, consider just sending an email or private message.
I think for those of us who came up with this idea, we just really wanted to do a “BIG” thing for Tom’s birthday, just this once. I know other actors on the show have had their birthdays celebrated by their fans by doing charity fund drives. Which is great! But all we’re asking is for you to send a card. And somehow, I think we’d all agree that the simplicity of the gesture seems most fitting for our Mr. Welling.
Signed
Valerie, Carol, Iliana and Pep
