[BIC-announce] Fwd: McBIC'd Again? [and Fwd: Chris Hadfield leads Movember Campus Challenge]

[Zografos 'Aki' CARAMANOS]

Hello BIC!

M(N)ovember <http://ca.movember.com/about> is drawing very near and I was
wondering if anyone in the BIC was interested in, once again, growing some
whiskers for a cause!

Last year, through the power of the moustache, the 8 Movember-moustachio'd
members of McBIC'd (photo below) raised awareness and close to $2000 to
combat prostate and testicular cancer and men's mental health challenges.
 I am hoping that we can do even better this year!

I have already set up my personal "Mo
Space<http://ca.movember.com/mospace/3780225>",
which is very easy to do, and am hoping that some of you will do so as
well, and that, together, we can create another Movember Team representing
the BIC.  As for the team name: should we continue with last year's
McBIC'd, or does anyone have any other ideas (*e.g.*:  the BIC nonShavers
(as opposed to BIC
Shavers<http://www.bicworld.com/en/products/categories/4/shavers>),
the MRIstachios, etc)?

I am hoping to hear back from you soon, and perhaps we can meet up on
Friday (November 1st), say at noon, to take a team clean-shaven picture
against which to compare our hirsute pursuit on November 31st.  So, get
back to me and let me know if you are ready for another month of upper-lip
itch and attention ;-{.

And, for the BIC ladies, please know that you can also get involved as a BIC
Mo-Sista <http://ca.movember.com/get-involved/mo-sistas>.

Cheers!
Mustachi-Aki

*From the FAQ <http://ca.movember.com/faq>:*
*Movember is the month formerly known as November, where men and women
across the globe join together to raise awareness and funds for men’s
health issues. Men grow a Mo (moustache) for 30 days to become walking,
talking billboards, for our men’s health causes - specifically prostate
cancer, testicular cancer and male mental health initiatives.

Men who support Movember, called Mo Bros, start by registering at
Movember.com. Mo Bros start Movember 1st clean shaven, then grow and groom
their Mo for the rest of the month, raising money along the way. Women who
support Movember, called Mo Sistas, also start by registering at
Movember.com. Mo Sistas champion the Mo by supporting their Mo Bros,
organizing events, leading a team.
