News from Heidel House Resort
Where getting away means getting together
Greetings!
Wow! I didn't realize until I sat down and thought about it how much is happening in August: Birthdays, weddings, family gatherings, back to school, finishing up projects in the yard, planning for Labor Day, etc. Amid all that's going on, be sure to kick back and enjoy the beautiful summer afternoons. "Summer afternoon - Summer afternoon...the two most beautiful words in the English language." - Henry James

Happy Travels!

August - Most Popular
Birth Month
I would be surprised if you didn't know someone whose birthday was coming up. Why? According to Hallmark, August is the most popular birth month, with July coming in second. If you aren't planning the party, but simply need help deciding on a gift, here are a couple of ideas.

Whether the person is a close family member or just an acquaintance, you must know at least one thing they like: cooking, reading, golf, knitting, traveling, games, toys, etc. Center your gift around that and create a gift basket. Purchase a few items related to what they like, wrap individually and place in a basket, or for easy wrapping - arrange items in a basket, wrap the entire basket in semi-transparent paper and tie at the top.

If you are looking for something that is fast and easy, but something you know they'll love, give a gift certificate/card. Here at Heidel House Resort you can build your own on our web site and have it emailed right to you in minutes. A variety of options are available to ensure your gift is just right!

Donor Travel Card
With the help of willing donors, the American Red Cross saves thousands of lives with the blood they collect. If you are a donor and travel outside the country often, I recommend getting a Donor Travel Card to keep track of where you've visited during your travels. My list of countries was starting to get a little too long to recall each time, so I recently received a card to put in my wallet that list the countries I've visited and the dates I was there. They really look out for us travelers!
