That's good, but better would be to follow the guidelines in
<URL:http://www.debian.org/doc/developers-reference/ch-best-pkging-practices#s-bpp-pkg-synopsis>,
which recommends the synopsis should work as a noun phrase when put
into a sentence.

Also, the program Evolution is normally capitalised like that within a
sentence, AFAICT.

Last, it seems a bit forced to use the possessive “Evolution's
contacts”. Better would be to say “Evolution contacts”, specifying
a type of contact (ones within Evolution).

My suggestion:

    Description: birthday reminder for Evolution contacts
