+Fiery Searcher Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 A few days left for anyone with a birthday in May, June, July, August, September, or October! Mission names will be sent out on 31 August 2010. For those of you who are still on the fence, there will be another round of missions assigned a bit later - September 31 2010. After that, I will turn over the Birthday Missions to someone else to organize for November and December birthdays. Quote Link to comment

+grodan & fiabus Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 (edited) Cant wait, is it tuesday soon at your place? It is 10AM here in Sweden. Let´s hope all have their seekinglists updated. Oh right, I don´t have one myself. But I am easy to please, anything given to me will be treasured. I mostly collect animalshaped coins and food/drinks shaped coins though. Almost all my keepers are activated so take a look in my profile to get a hint. This will be fun!!!! I love missions and there hasn´t been many lately. grodan Karin edit to add: Bah, even worse, I thought the names were given aug 31, one more day to wait.

+Fiery Searcher Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 We have 10 participants IN by the 31 August deadline - yay! I am working on assignments now...my "real job" has the better of me right now. Please be patient - everyone will have their mission assignment by the end of today. draglings - if you could, please state your progress in TWO missions, to represent the both of you. Something like Mission 1 and Mission 2 should do fine. Once everyone has their mission assignments, let's give ourselves ONE MONTH to send out our missions. If you get your package done beforehand, great! Since most of us are already late for our birthdays, another four weeks (or so) shouldn't matter much. PLEASE post your progress in these forums, and email me if you have any questions in the meantime! Happy Birthday, everyone! Quote Link to comment

+Fiery Searcher Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 I didn't know there was a magazine for geocaching! Maybe I should visit the "Resources" link on geocaching.com a bit more often? Very thoughtful...the gift that keeps on giving, if you will. And better than the "jelly of the month" club! (that's a movie reference for those of you who thought that last bit came out of left field) And here's an update for my mission: 1. Participating: Yes, email sent (to myself) 25 August 2010 2.

+Fiery Searcher Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 (edited) For any May, June, July, August, September or October birthdays remaining: If you want to participate in the 2010 Birthday Misison, there is still time! Specifically, there are TWO WEEKS remaining for those of you with a birthday between 1 May and 31 October! If you are interested, please check out the guidelines for what makes a good mission (to send AND receive), and email me that you will participate. There are a few questions I need you to answer, and you can find those on post #94. On September 30th, I will wait until midnight to gather all of the names and pair them up. I will mail out your mission assignments as soon as everyone is paired. Sound good? Then sign up! PS Please email me with your interest through my account at geocaching.com .

+Fiery Searcher Posted September 14, 2010 Share Posted September 14, 2010 Is anyone interested in stepping up to run the 2010 November-December birthday missions? This person should be identified relatively quickly, so that the mission can run more smoothly and without interruption. If you have questions about what is involved, please email me via geocaching.com It's not too complicated, so don't let the "I've never run a mission" mentality discourage you! You do need to be available and have reliable internet, though. Quote Link to comment

+Fiery Searcher Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Four days left to get in on the mother of all birthday missions! If you have a birthday between May and October, you have until 30 September to let me know if you want to participate! Please read the complete instructions to make sure you know what you're getting into. It can be a lot of fun to receive AND to give. The pictures posted here and in last year's birthday mission will give you an idea of what makes a good mission. Thanks, and happy birthday to those who are already assembling or who have received their missions! Quote Link to comment
