Weekend of Fishing
Fishing
This weekend Stephen Jaegar, Pete Koppes, David K, Liam, and I went to Lake Pearson to fish. Although I caught nothing, I really enjoyed the experience of game fishing. Steve was the only one who got a bite (and a catch too) over the trip. I plan on going on more trips and will most likely buy a season fishing licence.
After getting back and going to work, I then went to Church where Steve Taylor talked about saints and how anyone can go out and do things that other people recognise as Godly. It was a challenge for us to go out and be saints. However some of us had to leave half way through the service in order to go to the pier fireworks display.
While walking towards the pier some teenagers in front of us were lighting fireworks as they too heading in the pier's direction and so we had fireworks over our head the whole walk there. The display was really good (does saying spectacular sound too cliched?) and then afterwards we hung around for a bit, ate some toffee, and headed home.
I was too tired from the weekend to get up for the rugby at 4:30 down at church.
I'm thinking about ideas for fundraising for parachute. We have decided that if we can raise $500 of cash from donations then I will shave my head along with Mark Wilson, (maybe Jason King too, and anyone else willing to), Stephen Jaegar is considering getting his legs epilated, Jessica Moore will have her eyebrows waxed. So I'm thinking, funds aren't likely to just be given but there is these cards you can buy, which have scratchies on them and you ask someone to scratch one or two circles and underneath is an amount from $1-$3 that they donate you. I think it's quite a good idea, but it soley relies on people's generousity (or desire to see guys with no hair, Jess with no eyebrows, and Stephen in a lot of pain). Any thoughts on whether we should get the cards or just stick to plain generousity. (The cards cost about $20 each but there is an 80% profit in each of them)

mmm I think maybe just stick to plain generousity!
Also... last night we had another volunteer to shave their hair! (it's a chick... oh yea)
Jas & this person thought it'd be better to have a target to reach say $200 per head and the highest giver for each person gets to do the shaving! What do you think?
AWESOME!! Who is the volunteer?
I can agree with that Idea, so long as I'm 3rd or further down the order. :D
Just in case you were wondering - Annette is NOT the chick who volunteered to shave her head!
The cards sound like a much more fun way of going about things. There isn't much between $1.00 to $3.00, I'd be happy to run with that.
Plus, Rayd with no hair? That's just to gloden an opportunity to waste!
