Updates and Anniversaries

How can it be the middle of August already? How is that possible?

We've had a busy summer around here. Vacations, workshops, weddings, and unfortunately lots of rain! But, aside from the fun and frivolity, we have been working hard behind the scenes on the next Hair Massacure.

Do you all realize that 2012 will be the 10th Hair Massacure? I asked Tammy the other day if she had any idea - even just 4 or 5 years ago - that it was going to get this big. She said heck no!! (okay that's sort of what she said). When it was created 10 years ago it was just supposed to be a supportive gesture for a young girl, and maybe it would raise some money to help the kids and families that needed it. Look at it now! Goes to show what you can achieve from a simple seed...

We are busy with websites and Facebook pages and sponsors and pledge packages and agreements and all manner of things that the MacDonald family didn't even dream of in 2003. It's amazing. The amount of support we get continues to amaze me. I am very pleased to be on this Team.

Speaking of websites and Facebook pages: our website is coming along nicely, with lots of changes that we hope will make it easier for you. The registration and donation area is undergoing some changes right now but should be up and running very soon. Our old Facebook page is going to be discontinued soon in favour of a new, more interactive one (the link to the new page is on our website - on the contact us page). Make sure you bookmark it - we are going to use it for sending updates and photos.

As for you, I hope you are having a fabulous summer full of love and laughter. I think we take those things for granted when we have them, but feel their absence deeply when they are gone. Oh, that sounded sad - sorry - I just really want us all to be "in the moment" and celebrate the joys that life provides.

And, we want you to celebrate 10 years of making progress, inspiring children, and helping families.

Those are my thoughts for the day... enjoy the sunshine!
