Does anyone remember the promotion Doubletree did a while back offering free trees in conjunction with the National Arbor Day Foundation? I did a search but couldn't locate the previous thread. Anyway, I got the following e-mail yesterday. I wonder if I should tell them that there is frequently snow on the ground when they plan on sending me my trees in November. (By the way, this appeared in my SPAM folder. If you entered this promotion, you might want to check there to see if you got a reply.)

"Doubletree Pledge to Plant Shipping Update

Your order has been confirmed by our team and you are one of
35,000 people across the U.S. and Canada who will receive
two live seedling trees as part of the Doubletree® Pledge to
Plant Challenge. As a result of your efforts and those of
others who participated in this unique re-greening campaign,
more than 150,000 trees will be planted by people just like
you as well as through reforestation efforts by the National
Arbor Day Foundation.

To support the optimal survival of your trees, and due to
the overwhelming response to this campaign, we have worked
with our friends at the National Arbor Day Foundation to
determine the right time to send trees to your part of the
country. We anticipate sending the seedling trees to the
address you provided to us in your Pledge sometime in
October or November.

Sincerely,

Your friends at Doubletree Hotels"
