Oak Harbor Chamber » latest http://oakharborchamber.com Just another WordPress site Mon, 21 May 2012 22:06:07 +0000 en hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 It seems ironic that Anna Jarvis, the founder of Mother’s Day, http://oakharborchamber.com/it-seems-ironic-that-anna-jarvis-the-founder-of-mothers-day/ http://oakharborchamber.com/it-seems-ironic-that-anna-jarvis-the-founder-of-mothers-day/#comments Tue, 08 May 2012 19:35:21 +0000 ryan3179 http://oakharborchamber.com/?p=6177  spent her entire inheritance protesting its commercialization.  Anna died believing that instead of sending a commercial greeting card, a personalized handwritten note should be highest tribute. Another irony, the commercialization has ensured the continuity of a great American tradition. A blank note card with an intimate photo embedded on the front seems to be the right idea in this case.
