Anyone interested in taking the lead on this? Should be fun, and even if we don't win, it'll increase Habitat's visibility.<br><br>-Grace<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">---------- Forwarded message ----------<br>

To: <a href="mailto:grantrob@mit.edu">grantrob@mit.edu</a><br><br><br><div><font><font size="2">Hello! Does your service group have a charity it supports?</font></font><br><br>If so, read on!<br><br>As
you may or may not know, every year Alpha Phi Omega runs a campus-wide
charity event called UMOC [Ugliest Man on Campus]! The idea behind UMOC
is simple: various charities line up and have a candidate represent
their cause, then members of the MIT community vote for the Ugliest Man
/ charity of their choice / multiple charities! Whoever makes the most
money during the competition is, of course, the winner, and that
candidate's charity is awarded <b>all</b> of the money raised. UMOC is
traditionally a fun and amusing week-long event that we hope will be
bigger than ever and raise a lot of money for a needy charity this year!<br>
<br>For that to happen, though, we need your support. Currently there
aren't any UMOC candidates- and without Ugly Men*, there can be no
charitable donations! Therefore, we ask that you discuss UMOC with your
group members and nominate one of them to run for this year's UMOC
title, so that you can raise money for a charity in line with your
service group's interests. <br>
<br>The competition this year runs from November 16 to November 20, and
the candidates will display themselves for public voting in Lobby 10.
Since this is MIT and <b>everyone</b> is busy, we don't expect
candidates to be there hours on end (we'll have the candidates'
pictures up in case a candidate can't be present), but active
campaigning is a surefire way to bring in both the dollars and the
title, so show up and show off during the week! <br>
<br>Below are links to the documents necessary for application to UMOC.
If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to ask!<br><br>Thanks for your help,<br>Grant Robinson and APO<br><br>*We have noticed in the past that women, microwaves, and even decade-plus old milk make for rather ugly men.<br>
