MADE is coming November 27th.
Get Ready Pemberton...
"On The Sopranos, “getting made” was the initiation ritual, the way someone became part of the group. You don’t have to swing with mafiosos to get made in Pemberton… Being identified as part of Pemby-town is as easy as showing up at MADE, the annual art showcase.
Music, Art, Dance, Expression: that’s what’s getting MADE in Pemberton, and showcased at the funkiest live art show in funky town.
Pemberton’s across-the-board arty-love-in is no surprise to anyone who has attended the Pemberton Arts Council’s annual MADE event. MADE stands for Music Art Dance Expression, and the Community Centre gets a boho make-over every November, as it fills with funky energy and exhibits.
MADE in Pemberton returns for its third year on Saturday, November 27, 2010. Anyone keen to participate can contact Moldy. Get the details by joining the Pemberton Arts Council on facebook."

Movember....
About Movember (from movember.com)
The Mo, slang for moustache, and November come together each year for Movember.
Movember challenges men to change their appearance and the face of men’s health by growing a moustache. The rules are simple, start Movember 1st clean-shaven and then grow a moustache for the entire month. The moustache becomes the ribbon for men’s health, the means by which awareness and funds are raised for prostate cancer. Much like the commitment to run or walk for charity, the men of Movember commit to growing a moustache for 30 days.
The idea for Movember was sparked in 2003 over a few beers in Melbourne, Australia. The plan was simple – to bring the moustache back as a bit of a joke and do something for men’s health. No money was raised in 2003, but the guys behind the Mo realized the potential a moustache had in generating conversations about men’s health. Inspired by the women around them and all they had done for breast cancer, the Mo Bros set themselves on a course to create a global men’s health movement.
In 2004 the campaign evolved and focused on raising awareness and funds for the number one cancer affecting men – prostate cancer. 432 Mo Bros joined the movement that year, raising $55,000 for the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia - representing the single largest donation they had ever received.
The Movember moustache has continued to grow year after year, expanding to Canada, the US, UK, New Zealand, Ireland, Spain, South Africa, the Netherlands and Finland.
In 2009, global participation of Mo Bros and Mo Sistas climbed to 255,755, with over one million donors raising $47 Million for Movember’s global beneficiary partners. We are proud to announce that last year’s Canadian campaign was the second largest in the world behind Australia, with 35,156 Mo Bros and Mo Sistas coming together to raise $7.8 million for Prostate Cancer Canada.
