HELLO MYSTICS! So close to the break, I can taste it! Hope you all are enjoying the first semester of this year so far! It’s wild how fast it has gone by already! Would just like to take this time to thank all the volunteers who took part in our Haunted House on Oct 26th! So happy with the event, and it could not have happened without your commitment! We raised around $1800, which will go towards our new Odd Jobs Program out of the Students’ Union! Keep on the lookout as we will soon post out opportunities for YOU to make a bit of pocket change! Big thing happening this month is MOVEMBER! That’s right, it’s where I and other Mo-Bros will grow out (or TRY to grow out in my case) our facial hair to raise awareness and funds for Prostate Cancer, Testicular Cancer, and mental health initiatives! Same as last year, we Mo-Bros are growing out everything, not just the stache, and collecting pledges for what YOU want us to shave at the end of the month! Maybe you want us to shave it into a half-beard, or the Heisenberg, or the Iron Man (my favourite)! You may be saying, “wait, I’m a girl, I can’t grow facial hair, what about me?” You absolutely can participate in our campaign as a Mo-Sista, raising pledges for what you want to see your Mo-Bros shave to!
