Sammy, Martina and Monika, 3 fans, came up with the following great idea: "The Tina birthday card". Here is the plan. We want to do something for Tina's upcoming 70th birthday (November 26th) and also to thank her for that fabulous tour she did. We came up with an idea in which everyone can participate and which everyone can afford: We created a Tina birthday card!

Everybody can print out this card, put his/her own personal message on it and send it to the assembly point (Monika) in Switzerland.

Monika will take over all the cards to Tina's house and put them in her mailbox on her birthday. This way she'll receive dozens/hundreds (that depends on you all!) of birthday cards from all over the world. All of the same cards but with different messages from different people! It will only cost you the postage to Switzerland!

To make sure that everything works out there are some instructions:

- Print out your card in the size as it is when you open the link, don’t change the size. Here's a link to the card: the card:

Here is an image of the card:

- If possible print it on photo paper instead of normal printing paper (or have it printed at a photo shop). Regular printing paper is too thin for a card.

- Check how long it takes for a card to get from your country to Switzerland. All cards should be at the assembly point around November 20th but preferably sooner.

- Only send this birthday card to the assembly point, nothing else!!!! Monika is not a courier! So don’t send packages, letters, gifts, whatever because she will not take them with her to Zürich! She doesn’t live in Zürich so she has to travel with the cards so no extra weight is needed!

Send your card in an envelope to the assembly point, make sure it’s not understamped since that will delay the delivery and it might not get there in time. You can write all over the backside of the card. Since Monika is bringing them over to Zürich you don’t have to leave the right side blank for an address.

- The address you have to send the card to is:

Monika Steiner-Pfaffengasse 6-7206-Igis-Switzerland.

The more people participate in this plan the bigger the surprise will be!! So print out the card, write down your personal message for the birthday girl and send it to Monika!

Let’s give her a nice surprise for her birthday, she deserves it!

If you’re active on other Tina Turner sites/forums/blogs please put this message and the link on it so that as many people from as many places as possible will know about this plan and can participate!"

I think it is a brilliant idea. Lets do it!
