Updates on upcoming events

Hello Rosstachians,

Its coming time to shave those beards into cookie dusters and bring in Rosstache Week! So, here are a few things you should know (and answers to some questions I have been getting):

This Thursday, 3/27, at RSA Happy Hour (7-9)

This Thursday is the kickoff of Rosstache Week! We would like those of you who can make it to Happy Hour on Thursday to shave something fun into your beards. Last year I did some mean chops, but this year I’ll be doing something a little different – We’ll post some sample pics to the blog to give you some ideas. The main purpose is to raise awareness for Rosstache Week. We will be taking pictures to post and send out in promotional emails. You don’t need to keep your crazy look, but you have to keep at least your mustache, of course.

Shave to the ‘stache

You MUST be down to just the mustache by Tuesday, April 1st. This year we will allow the Fu Manchu and soul patch.

T-shirts

T-shirts will be available during happy hour this Thursday, 3/27. Don’t worry if you didn’t tell us you wanted one… we got extras.

Next Thursday, 4/3, at RSA Happy Hour (7-9): JUDGING

We will be sending out more information about the final event this Friday. However, we will be asking people to sign up for different categories (e.g. Cop Stache). We are asking you to sign up in advance so that we don’t have everyone doing one category. We will also be giving out trophies for best stache in every category and money raisers (the trophies are pretty cool and it is the first year Rosstache has them – think collectors items). Outfit/costume/look counts for these awards (except the money) so do your best to look your funniest, best, or worse.

Fundraising

We have over $650 of personal donations so far… good work! Keep it coming… we still have a lot of work to do. Below is the link you can send to friends, family, etc. that will bring them to the site with the directions for donating. Also, if you would like to get an employer to donate or if it is a donation of serious size you can email us for instructions for making sure the donation is tax deductible. Using the fact that some companies match donations is a good way to get a good size check.

‘Stache on!!

-Chris and your faithful Rosstache leaders
