WOW - Did you see it, Did you see it???
The Sunday February 8, 2009 episode - "Lucky See Monkey Do" of "King Of The Hill" that aired -- (8:30-9:00 PM ET/PT) showed a brief Stork Baby Announcement Display... This is the first episode of the series to air in high definition and was totally awesome, especially if you are in the Lawn Greetings/Yard Cards business... Several members from the LGA (Lawn Greetings Association, Inc) noticed it and the "buzz" was on... This just goes to show how far Lawn Greetings/Yard Cards/Stork Baby Announcements have come over the years - They are becoming an integral part of Americana and the way that we celebrate special occasions - Baby Announcements - Welcoming Home Mom and the "Little Bundle of Joy", Birthdays, Retirements, Graduations, Anniversaries, Valentine's Day, Mother's/Father's Day, Flamingo Flockings and any other special occasion you can think of... We will be contacting FOX to see if they can do a "Flamingo Flocking" for one of the character's birthdays... Stay Tuned... Signing off for now... Mike and Marlene

April Fool's kicks off Lawn Greetings Month
Fremont, OH, April 1, 2008- President/Executor Michelle Reed of the Lawn Greetings Association, Inc. (LGA) announced today a declaration that April be considered as "Lawn Greetings Month". The purpose of Lawn Greetings Month is not only to promote awareness of the industry to the general public, but to help bring smiles to those who are celebrating a special occasion or event. The lawn greetings industry can be defined as small local businesses which help their customers celebrate various special occasions and events by renting displays that are set up in a recipient's yard. Reed states that she and members of the industry are very excited to declare their first holiday. "This is a stepping stone in gaining national exposure and awareness of the industry. We all love to help people celebrate the special moments in their life, and a lawn greetings display is a unique and fun way to do it." As a part of this celebration, lawn greetings companies across the nation will be putting out displays in honor of this milestone event. Association members are also planning another important event based on the creator of the original Plastic Pink Flamingo, Mr. Don Featherstone. In the birthplace and hometown of Featherstone, (Leominster, MA) Mayor Dean Mazzarella declared June 23 as Pink Flamingo Day. On this day, lawn greetings company owners across the country plan on setting out pink flamingo displays in honor of the pink lawn ornament. The LGA is the leading authority and only non-profit trade association of the lawn greetings industry which consists of members from across the US, Canada, Mexico, Australia, England, and New Zealand.

It seems that hospitals and OB/GYN offices are discouraging the use of signs to announce your little "bundle of joy"...
Something they don't tell you is that according to The National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) there have been 250 reported cases of non-family infant abductions between the years 1983 to 2007. These figures from the NCMEC are based on a 24 year period, with over 100 million births! After extensive research, our association (LGA - Lawn Greetings Association) has yet to find any factual statistics which proves that an infant abduction was the direct result of having a lawn sign, stork announcement, or other birth announcement in the yard. In fact, the NCMEC statistics show that health care facilites are the number one target of infant abductions with 49% of those 250 infant abductions having taken place within these institutions. Of that 49%, 56% of those abductions were actually from the mother's own hospital room, 14% from the hospital nursery, 14% from pediatrics, and 16% from other locations within the health care facility. These statistics may be verified with the NCMEC at http://www.ncmec.org/en_US/documents/InfantAbductionStats.pdf. It seems that the health care facilities are the ones that publish this information to parents, attempting to get the monkey off their backs... Most people have a false sense of security about institutions, such as the health care facilties, but they are the number one targets for infant abductions... We need to heighten this awareness among parents, especially birth mothers...When selecting a facility to give birth in, please ask them and have them provide details about their security measures. Birth Announcement signs can be used to alert neighbors that there is a new baby in the neighborhood and the neighbors can then keep a closer watch out for strange individuals in the neighborhood. |
