\t\t\t\tRoad to California is all about family. It is a family run business under the direction of owner Carolyn Reese,<\/a>\u00a0managed by grandson Matt Reese<\/a>, a business dedicated to promoting a feeling of \u00a0family for all who attends. \u00a0 And while you’ll see various members of the Reese family<\/a> participating in putting on the show, there is one member of their family who can’t join in but who is always close in thought.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

Glenda Kaye White is Carolyn\u2019s sister.\u00a0 Born November 23, 1944, Glenda suffered a birth injury which left her with the mental capacity of a seven year old. When Glenda was younger, Carolyn\u2019s mother took care of all of her needs and made sure that Glenda was provided opportunities to experience the world around her. Today, Glenda is happy and\u00a0doesn’t\u00a0have a care in the world. She lives in a special facility in Upland, California. Glenda\u2019s favorites include country music, \u201cI Love Lucy\u201d re-runs, the color <\/span>red<\/span>, and the song, \u201c<\/span>You are my Sunshine.\u201d <\/em>But more than anything else, Glenda <\/span>LOVES GETTING MAIL<\/strong>. \u00a0Birthday cards, postcards,<\/span>\u00a0<\/strong>holiday cards,<\/span> <\/strong>short notes — anything that the postman delivers just for her brings true joy<\/strong> and excitement<\/strong> in to Glenda\u2019s life. She collects each and every letter and safe keeps them in her special <\/span>RED<\/span> purse to read over and over again.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

So, in honor of Glenda’s birthday and the holiday season that is fast\u00a0approaching, the Reese family would like to ask a favor of you, our Road extended family….Would you mind sending a card to Glenda? A belated birthday wish, a\u00a0holiday message — any kind of card would do. Our hope is that Glenda will receive lots and lots of mail, beginning today, through Thanksgiving, and on to the entire month of December. Can you imagine what a thrill it would be for her? Here is her address:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
