Tracey Johnston-Crum, Grove Park Inn Public Relations Director, We have been working solid for the last three days to make this event really to the caliber to which it should be. We are completely honored that Reverend Graham choose to do his final message and his birthday here. This has been, I mean really, just a true honor for everyone here, it's helped excite the staff, people are excited. They want to be a part of it.
The Reverend's birthday includes the launch of the DVD, My Hope, intended to spark a spiritual awakening across the country.
There are special events today at the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte.
Guests have been invited to sign a birthday card for Reverend Graham, and several visitors have say came to send a personal message.
The Billy Graham Library is part of the organization's ministry in Charlotte.
