Solutions Moustached 2011 Week 2
15 November, 2011
Two weeks gone, two weeks left.
And so, with the halfway mark of the month passing, Our Heroes find themselves wearily trodding around the office, carrying a great weight atop their lips which for the past 14 days has been weighing them down. Their exhaustion isn't helped by the lack of sustenance they're receiving - the meals they are eating just aren't nutritious enough for them. All the flavour is being saved by their new hairy companions, and that which isn't goes into helping them grow.
"I can't do this anymore," grunts Dom under his breath, "It's too much. It's like 3:30 and I'm already tired. Coffee just isn't cutting it anymore".
"Don't talk like that, Dom! We got dis!", announces Peter, his moustache glistening a fiery red. It ignites Dom, though briefly, once more. "There are people out there depending on us. We must last out the month". Rabin and Brendan both now approach Dom in support. "We can do this together".Dom, briefly reborn, mutters "Alright. Lets do this. But even though there's 10 of us, I don't think we can do it alone".
There's only one thing that can reawaken Our Heroes now.
The mos are going strong, unfortunately the donations are not.

Solutions Moustached 2011 Week 1
8 November, 2011
One week in, and the Mos are flowing strong! It seems the year that has been has definitely made us better, stronger men and women, and our moustaches have conditioned themselves as such.
But that's not the only improvement since last year - Other than our team of 10 mobros and mosis's there's one more, very significant growth - one that won't be a growth for long, we hope!
We are happy to announce an event which this millenium has not yet seen. An event so rare, so significant, an event of such epic proportions that we can't instigate it on our own... We need your help, friend! Be the catalyst for this great event and write SoMo/SolOut history with us!
Our Director, Mark Kofahl, has stated that if Solutions Moustached manages to raise over $3000 for the month of Movember, he will start December 2011 cleanly shaven. Completely. That's right, he will shave all his facial hair for the cause if we all manage to beat last year's fund.
