I'm in charge of creating a system that will allow my company to send out
b-day cards to different residents during the year. We need a way to have a
program pull up all birthdays in a given month at the beginning of said
month, and then have amail merge program that will have each address ready to
go. So all we will need to do is print the envelopes and insert the cards. Is
this feasible, or am I expecting the computer to do too much work? please
give me any suggestions y'all may have, from others who have done this or
something similar. Thanks!

Use MS Access to set up a database of Title, FirstName, Surname, Address,
Town, Postcode (Zipcode) and Date of Birth. You can then use this data to
filter the birthdays and use the address details in a mailmerge. If you've
just got Word, you could still do it by setting up columns for birth month
and day(date) and using this in the mailmerge. Does this help?
