Mustaches for Kids: Hartford Chapter

M4K Traditions: Family, Turkey, Stuffing, Cranberries and Mustaches

November 24th, 2009 by michael

All,

Did you know that the Pilgrims grew mustaches for charity? Just after the Wampanoag Indians taught the Pilgrims to grow corn, William Branford asked Squanto to make a donation. It’s true, I read it in a history book.

To carry on this American tradition, make sure to remember Mustaches for Kids during your Thanksgiving holiday. Following Checkpoint #1, we’ve already raised over $1,000! Consider making a donation yourself on our website www.m4khartford.org - donations benefit Connecticut Children’s Medical Center.

Thanksgiving is an important part of every growing season. For several days, most of us will have a captive audience to entertain with stories of mustache grandeur. Even if you aren’t Growing for the Kids this year, letting the hairless members of your clan on to the good deeds of M4K can’t hurt. Maybe some of them will be inspired, maybe some of them will donate, maybe some of them will be Growers in 2010! Who can tell? At least they might get a chuckle out of the whole enterprise, and if we can’t get at their wallets for the Kids, at least we can spread Mustache Mirth.

Since most growers are busy this week spending time with their families, squandering the last of their vacation days (guilty), or stuffing a turkey, this week we will not meet. However, we’ve scheduled a get-together the Monday after Thanksgiving so you can show off your holiday growth (Saints-v-Patriots too). Growers: don’t forget that, per Mustache rules, you must shave your face except for your Mustache on Friday, November 27th.

• When: Monday, November 30th, 7:00 p.m.
• Where: Hooters in Wethersfield, 1731 Berlin Tpke, Wethersfield
• Web: www.hooters.com
• Bar: 50¢ wings, $2.99 tall drafts

We wish you all a stachey, healthy Thanksgiving!
