[Wednesday and Thursday, fliers began to appear slipped beneath the door of every apartment of every fictional person on New Moore. They read as follows:]

You're Invited!
What: The Once-ler's birthday
Where: The ballroom of The Four Saisons
When: Friday, May 3rd from 8 - 12 pm

We cordially invite you to come celebrate the birthday of our friend and local entrepreneur, The Once-ler! His birthday passed unnoticed while everyone was busy last week, and that should not be allowed, so his friends are providing an open venue for anyone who wishes to come celebrate. There will be music, a dance floor, and snacks provided, as well as a chance to view and try on some of his famous thneeds.

This is a casual event, so there's no need to dress formally, and there is no cover charge. Should you wish to bring a gift, there will be a table set up to display them, and toward the end of the evening, after cake and ice cream, the guest of honor will open the gifts for all to see.

This is a pet-friendly event, with dog biscuits and cat treats and toys provided, should you wish to bring your furry friends to enjoy the festivities as well.

We hope to see you there!

If you have any questions, please contact Sheska at the following number: #598-123-4567
