And as always, make sure you sign up on our forum. All who sign up automatically become members of The Richness Fan Club. In the forums, we are covering the Edy’s Tour as well as discussing the current season of American Idol. We are also gearing up for a massive radio campaign in an effort to promote All Alone. In the very near future, we will be creating flyers to promote the single to radio stations and to the general public. So join us on the boards today and become a member of one of the closest families in cyber space!
In celebration of Chris’ new single “All Alone” and for THE RICHNESS being together for over a year now, we will be having a “party” on the forums Sunday, March 16 from 7pm-9pm EST! So be sure to stop by and check it out, make new friends and hear the latest Chris news.
The Day After The Celebration
Mon, 17 March 2008
Last night’s party on The Richness boards was a smash! Thanks to everyone for joining us in chat on the boards to celebrate one year together as The Richness as well as Chris’ single “All Alone” coming into fruition.
We also would like to sincerely thank Chris’ dad, The DR himself (Danny Richardson) for coming by and celebrating with us. Our very own Meames captured The DR’s chat with The Richness and it is now posted in the forum in the “PARTY THREAD” in the General Chris Discussion sub-forum. So get there right away and see what you missed!
The DR told us that Chris’ single should be hitting iTunes and the airwaves VERY soon. So make sure you request it at your local radio stations. Let’s make Chris #1 as he deserves to be!
Big thanks to Mandy (Meames) for being The Richness Sponsor of month for March.
Our message boards are free, however, to have a more professional, clean look we have to pay every month to have ads removed. Thanks to everyone who has stepped up and helped us have the ad’s removed for the rest of 2008!
Thanks Shanna & Michelle for getting the shout-out! Here is Shanna’s explination of what’s going on in this video: “I thought he was done talking and said “Thanks” and turned to Michelle to say something about the painting. Well he heard me and began to rant on about not telling him what to say and laughing and Michelle and I were fighting back telling him that we weren’t.”

For Chris’ birthday The Richness put together three seperate parts in hope’s to get EVERYONE involved in his present.
Part One: Fan Sign Video
We asked for everyone to send in pictures holding birthday messages to Chris or just send in your pictures with Chris. And this was the end result:
Part Two: The Traveling Card
We thought a hand signed card was more sentimental than a list of printed names, so we sent a birthday card all across the United States for members to sign. It was started in VA and ended in VA. Thanks to firstmate for delivering the card to The DR for us!
Past Three: The BIG Gift
The Richness wanted to get something out of the ordinary, something Chris would look at years later and say “The Richness gave that to me” Everyone who donated to make this gift possible was named in a special birthday message attached to the gift, along with their email, city and state.
This is a one of a kind, Andy Warhol inspired peice of art.

And finally, Meames, Thank you for being the “ring leader” of this and setting this project into motion. It started with a few idea’s in chat and you took charge, contacted the artist and made this happen! THANK YOU from all of us! We love you!
We’ve experienced some technical problems on the site and in result we’ve lost all of our posted news in 2008! We are working on getting everything back up from this year, as well as the latest Dreyer’s Promo Tour goodies so keep checking back.
We’ve been mentioning this for a couple weeks now about helping others and giving back for the holidays, well the time has come.
The Richness is going to “sponser” a unit currently serving in Iraq. With the money we made from the raffle and small donations we can bring a smile to the men and women’s faces who are fighting for our country. We will be sending care packages, letters, and Christmas/New Years items. Also, we will send ONE big card from The Richness. To get these things there before Christmas it will need to be mailed before December 4th.
Donations can be sent to: finance@therichness.net
*Donations will be used to buy items for the care packages and to cover shipping costs. No amount is too small.
Letters can be sent to: Pinkislove00@therichness.net as of right now, this may change.
*Letters should be of encouragement and support. Talk about things you would talk to your friends about. You can enclose a picture of yourself if you’d like.
The Unit we are sponsering was deployed from VA and arrived in Iraq October 2007. They are expected to leave Iraq January 2009. They are The 7th Signal Company XO in the US Army. It’s 5 males and 2 females. The “leader” is 2LT Beverly Wendell, she is in charge of getting the packages and letters to the others. Not only are they missing/missed this holiday season with their families, they are missing next years as well. Some of these soldiers don’t even have family to write them, so letters are really appreciated and lifts spirits for them. That is the only name provided so you can’t personally address the others. Lets make a difference and lift the moral of this unit for the holidays.
Meames will be putting together the care packages since she has experience in sending the things. We are needing all the letters by DECEMBER 4TH, which is next Tuesday. A few words of encouragement does more than you can imagine for these folks. Also, if you have family members who would like to participate, by all means let them.
We need donations to pay for the items being sent. A few dollars can buy a tube of toothpaste, deodorant and other neccessities they are needing.
We really hope you will participate in this, a letter costs nothing but a few minutes of your time and a click of a mouse.
