Here's what Dollyrebafan from the ExtremeReba message board posted:

I was talking with one of my frieds, thinking about how for the past
few years I've been trying to get a bunch of Dolly Parton fans
together for her birthday. We'd go to Tennessee, stay somewhere
decent, and throw a great big party! Gfo see al the sights, and just
about anything we could think of!!!


We decided we would try that with REBA's birthday. Its 2 months away,
sure, but it would be a cool thing to do! All we'd have to do is stay
somewhere nice, but not too expensive in LA, and we'd have to stay in
the same place, and it would have to have a room for like
conferences, or partys, or whatever e;lse they use big rooms for. So
anyway, we make up T-Shirts that look the same, and we could go and
alert the media about what we're doing, and see if we could get any
food donations from local bakeries to help us out so that we'd have
enough cake, and food, and basically, we just have this BIG party
just for Reba, in LA. This way, she might get wind of it, it would
either be on the news, or someone would inform reba about it, and
then she might could stop by to see what was going on! I mean, you
never know! And if it was a success, we could do it as a yearly
thing! I think it would be awesome, and so i was wondering what you
guys thought.

Another thing I thought about, were the people who couldnt go because
they wouldnt have the money. We could create a thing where those of
us who COULD get there, and would have enough money, could put
forward just a little bit of money to get some of the people who
couldnt go the chance to go!

Now here's my idea: I make personalized cups and plates for people,
like decorate them with whatever people want on them like Reba's
name, hearts, flowers, poka dots, stipes, ect.. You decide if you
want a cup, plate, or something like that and then what you want on
it and I would decorate it like that and then it would cost like $10
plus $3 shipping. That way you can get a whimsicle cup or plate
decorated the way you want and be helping people get to L.A. for
Reba, ultimately doing this for Reba so that we can surprise her for
her birthday. You can also make donations to this cause if you'd like.

Please email me at Rebfancy2002@... with Reba's Birthday as the
title if you can go or want to participate in the fundraiser. Please
lets do this for Reba, cause she deserves it!!!! Plus, it would be
really fun!!!!
