Mustaches for Kids Ottawa

Can ye spare but a dime for this ‘stache?

November 29th, 2006 by Steve Palmer

Greetings, my fellow growers. Last week’s checkpoint was a great success (despite the last minute venue change) and I’ve been quite tickled with the dedication and follicular abilities of this year’s group. I am indeed dreading the day that I must face all of you in head to head nose-broom competition at the ‘stache bash. But alas, I regress…

While it has been nothing short of a delight to see so many loyal growers enhancing their already fine looking mugs with the addition of a mighty ‘stache, I must admit that I expected this considerable square yardage of fresh lip carpet to be blowing the doors off the proverbial “fundraising house” by now. Not to worry though. It seems as though this week (now that our mustaches are becoming visible to the naked eye) we’re starting to hit our stride so let’s not lose sight of those kids that our hard-earned dollars will go to help (even if they don’t always appreciate or understand what we’re doing). To aid all of you in your fundraising efforts, I have created yet another fantastic PDF document to stand alongside the pledge form – the M4K info sheet.

I encourage all growers to print and post several copies in their home, at their place of work and at their local hangouts. It gives a little background info on what M4K is about and basically explains why on earth you would voluntarily and intentionally grow such an odd arrangement of hair on the face. Hopefully it’ll help break the ice and get those inquisitive minds to dig into their pockets and cough up some cash! Best of luck and see you all this Friday at the Honest Lawyer.
