I received a meeting request today. Sam, this is probably for you.

Subject: Mustache Contest

When: Thursday, January 29, 2009 5:30 PM-6:00 PM (GMT-06:00) Central Time (US & Canada).
Where: Conference Room

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

In case you haven’t heard… and yes you read that correctly.

I thought it would be fun to have a just-for-fun charity event this winter because after all, what else is there to do in the winter. For those of you interested, we are going to have the kickoff meeting for the Mustache Contest. Both men and women are invited to attend the event, after all we will need a panel of judges there too.

Prizes:
The overall best mustache­ will take home $25 (or a max of 25%) of the money raised.
The remaining 75% will go to support a charity of the groups choosing, or variety of charities depending on a group vote.

Why? To raise money for a charity to be designated at the kickoff… and to annoy your girlfriend, wife, or whatever all in the name of a good cause.
When? January 29th at 5:30 PM
Where? Conference Room
Who? Anyone you want to invite
Cost? A measly $10 clams

At the end of the contest, which will most likely be a month from the start date, mustaches will be judged on a variety of factors (factors to be determined at the meeting) by qualified mustache judges (what those qualifications are will be determined at the meeting).

Rules:
You must be clean shaven at the start of the contest. We will provide a Bic razor and shaving cream at the kickoff to ensure fairness.
No growing beards, goatees, fu-manchus, etc… Only mustache hair will be allowed on your face during the duration of the event.

If you can’t make it to the meeting, just send me a time stamped photo of you with a clean shaven stache’ along with your entry fee.

Awards for:
Most unusually shaped mustache
Most colorful mustache
Ugliest mustache
Worst mustache
Other?

If you’d like to help with the administration of the contest just let me know.
