Oh my! That countdown clock is certainly a visual reminder of how close our SR's are to PIR! I'm getting more excited by the minute!
Congrats, MidwestMomNancy, on the letter!
Good Morning!
Greetings!

God's mighty hand, that He may lift you

That's what I figured diannep! I will send another sticky note with today's letter to remind him and spell out full names to match IDs, sure don't want to have issues. Thank you for clarifying all that! July 17th can't get here fast enough :)
Gabi: No worries....my son did this too and many do. They are getting yelled at so much at the time they fill these out that their heads are spinning, and some probably are given the choice just to put Mom, Dad, etc....because the RDCs know that they will get a chance to correct, like ellen said, shortly before PIR. Having said that, please make sure your SR has full names that match the IDs of the people attending so he can list them correctly, so write to him with this info. Some people go by nicknames which may not match ID, so you want to make sure there are no problems at the gates....
Thank you kindly ellen0502! I sent him a note on my letter yesterday, hopefully he does it on time :)
Gabi, Your son will/has had the opportunity to "fix" the names on the form letter sometime. It usually happens in the last couple weeks of BC.
Good morning.. for PIR, do our full names need to be listed? On the original "form" letter we first received, my son had listed "mom, dad, girlfriend" - not sure if this will be an issue. let me know. thank you!
Good Morning!
