Mustaches for Kids Ottawa

Welcome to 2007: The Year of the Stache

November 12th, 2007 by Steve Palmer

From the sounds of it, last Friday’s Clean Shave Day check-in was a smashing success. One seasoned grower described it like this:

“We filled the basement portion of the Clock Tower with growers and sig. others. Lots of new faces this year. I met several rookie growers who were there on the recommendations for previous growers, some word-of-mouth newbies, and even some walk-ins as a result of posters around Ottawa….incredible.”

Brings a tear to my eye… that runs down the space between my cheek and nose into a very young mustache.

To all new growers: welcome aboard! To help you get started here’s some important information you should know:

1. First thing, grab the 2007 growers kit (PDF). It’s got all the info you’ll need to grow a ‘stache and help raise pledges for M4K. A great bathroom read or take it on your daily commute.
2. Secondly, keep an eye on the photo gallery. For two reasons: it’s a hilarious documentation of a group of grown men growing mustaches from scratch and because we have a lot of photos of new growers who we haven’t had the pleasure of meeting yet… or at least knowing your names. We’ll be posting Friday’s photos over the next couple of days. If you click on your photo and we’ve got you down as “unidentified” please take a second to email info AT m4kottawa.org to let us know who you are. Attaching your photo would help.

Any and all questions, queries, comments or cookie recipes can be sent to info AT m4kottawa.org. We want you to grow with us!
