Tuesday the 8th of March was our annual Pancake Day bbq for the Uniting Care organisation which provides support for people in the community suffering abuse, emergency relief aid, assisting the elderly, youth mental health support and a range of other support networks locally. The Trinity RAs were busy shaking, flipping and distributing over 500 original, blueberry or choc chip pancakes to the residents. Those who had a sugar high were satisfied with a 3 hole mini golf course and giant twister in the East Quad next to the BBQ area. The best flipped pancake award had to go out to our Derry RA Phoebe who had mastered the art of pancake cooking! And the most inventive pancake to Cathy for forming love hearts and a turtle (which i thought looked like a man but either way was impressive!)
Phoebe and I had our try flipping the pancakes..
Even the mixture looked appetising!
Kiara was also quickly becoming a pro pancake cooker also...
Twister was tying residents ups in knots!
And Bronte was lucky enough to get one of Cathy's beautiful love heart pancakes :)
Only 2 days later on Thursday was our Worlds Greatest Shave event to raise money for the Leukaemia foundation for those affected with blood cancers.
We had 6 brave shavers on the night, they were all male but still had some good hair to shave! Tim, Greg, Lawson, Brady, Sam and Nick you guys are awesome. We had a great turn out to support those who shaved and raised nearly $800! Although I did not shave my own hair it was quite a challenge using clippers for the first time, i didn't tell my first shaver that but he probably guessed! But in my defense he did have thick curly hair and having clippers which did not work properly this was quite difficult... but we got their and they all looked really good with shaved heads all for a great cause too. My second guy's hair actually came off so quickly i was shocked! We put it down to his use of Pantene Pro-V and coconut oil :P
I cannot forget out brave guys who waxed their legs! Mims and Cathy were having a ball watching their faces as they waxed their legs, and when we came to even braver guys who waxed their stomach (snail) trails and chest hair there was quite a gathering to watch their facial expressions! I would have to give the bravest award for waxing to Monty who had a lovely patch of chest hair now gone which looked to be the most painful and reddest! Good on you Monty :)
