Hey growers, as your young staches are beginning to bristle, take some time to mingle with fellow growers at our http://www.facebook.com/event.php?eid=223373401066877#, 507 7th Street, NW, this Thursday, starting around 6:30 p.m.!  

So RSVP on facebook, (and share the facebook invite with your friends and coworkers), or just show up!

In the meantime, great work on the fundraising, as we've crossed the $6,000 mark.  

If you haven't done so yet, take a few minutes to customize your Firstgiving page, perhaps adding a photo of your 5-day old 'stache, and some words about why you're growing for the kids!  And then send that page out to everyone you know!

After a successful shaving day, our growers are welcoming the first tentative wisps on their upper lips.  We currently have 43 registered growers growing -- which sounds like an extended version of the 12 Days of Christmas.

Can you help us get to 50 good men, to reach our ambitious fundraising goal, either by volunteering as a grower yourself, or by recruiting a friend, spouse, or coworker?

You can register here, or email us with any questions in the meantime at mustaches4kids@gmail.com.

This Thursday marks Shaving Day, the official beginning of the Mustaches for Kids DC 2011 Growing Season.  

You can mark this momentous occasion on your own, but it's much better if you celebrate with friends and fellow growers (a.k.a. future friends).  

We invite you to our Shaving Day get-together at Rhino Bar and Pumphouse, 3295 M Street NW, Washington, DC 20007.   We'll be upstairs, and you can show up clean shaven, or shave once you get there.  We'll have some Bic razors, but we recommend your bring your own gear.  And based on previous events, we recommend that you don't show up with a Mountain Man beard, or your skin will likely be paying for it the next day.  

Rhino -- whose bartenders will all be participating in this year's growing season, will also be offering specials on drinks ($8 pitchers, $2.75 Coronas, and $4 Captain Morgan drinks) and 25 cent wings!

RSVP on Facebook to let us know you're coming, and share the invite with your friends!

If the deals and shaving are not enticement enough, you could also win this poster:
