This is a plea for assistance from Mudcatters world wide, and, Max, I apologise in advance if I am breaking any rules, but here goes........

Tonight's the night. I'm having my head shaved for "Little Folk" a charity established within the Folk Community for Cancer research in children.

The big difference between our charity and others is that ALL the money gets to the charity. No one gets paid, no expenses paid, no admin fees. We all give our time and efforts for free.

We're running a charity concert tonight, I realise it's a bit far away for any of you to come but If you wanted to.........You could sponsor my Head Shave!!!!

All donations no matter how small would be gratefully received.

Just send money orders in $AUS to:

The Treasurer
Little Folk Inc
56 Astley Street
Gosnells
Western Australia
6110.

I thank you in advance for your generosity and will post before and afterPhoto's of "The Head" on the resources page as soon as I can get the pictures developed.

And don't forget - although it's a Western Australian Charity, the research assists kids with cancer all over the world.

Actually I always suspect these charity drives where people shave their heads as a coverup for a severe lice infestation. Hope it works Bugsy! Good luck on ya.

Bugsy my friend, tis a noble thing you do........Wait a minute...........Okay, just had to check to be sure it was your head you were shaving. I don't want to see pictures of any other "parts.".....And a fine charity for "Folk" to be involved with. I'll work a donation your way to the address listed at the first of the week.

Oh man, am I ever anticipatin' these pics!!!!

Bugsy, I will try to send Australian but if not it's US dollars. I think they're good.
Don't forget a picture - before and after.
Good Luck, Mary

My gal friend, err Mate, is it, is visiting here, NY, from New South Wales. I can send my donation home to Australia next week, with her given the slowness of snail mail and why give up anything to an organization i.e., bank with the exchange rate. Nice thing you are doing. Hope you raise a bundle.

Thanks Sorcha, 'Spaw, Sinsull & bflat for your donations. It's great to know that Catters go further than talking about such problems as Cancer and actually offer practical support. Everyone at Little Folk sends their thanks.

The headshave went off without a hitch. I will post the photo's as soon as I can get them processed.

We look forward to maybe getting some more donations soon.

Cheers

Count me in Bugsy! I hadn't logged on for a few days, but will send a contribution presently.

So did you whistle "click go the shears" while you were being shaved?

Thanks Callie, the money will be well spent I promise you.

Actually I got a friend of mine up onto the stage and we sang "Three Score and Ten" whilst the locks hit the floor. Not an easy thing to do, singing into a microphone whilst someone keeps grabbing your head and twisting it one way then the other.
Still, it's all in a good cause.

Cheers

I was there at the great shave. What a man!!! Three score and ten probably sums up the number of hairs on my head otherwise I would have got mine done as well! Great stuff Bugsy, keep it up.
