I received this email from Chad, and thought I would pass it along. [quote]Thanks for that. I noticed it in Google Reader, as well. I've thanked you and mentioned your noble organization at our Facebook page.

Another thank you. This one arrived on July 20th, 2008. [quote]Because of your generous contributions, Operation: Dreads for Bread has reached its official goal of $820. I wish you to thank you genuinely for your donation, as well as your words of encouragement. (Imagine me make eye contact and nodding ever so slowly while I do so.) The shave will likely occur sometime in August, and I'll be sure to make photos and possibly a video or two available. After that time, I will also be happy to mail you the dreadlock(s) which you are entitled, but ONLY if you actually want them. :) Willing participants can reply to this message with their address, but I won't be at all offended if you'd rather human hair not show up in your postbox. If it sways you one way or the other, I am also working on matching hand-numbered certificates of authenticity...[/quote]
