Dannevirke Lions: Fund Raising Event Dannevirke’s “SHREK” – John Walshe 8th, March 2010 Update for the Shearing Shrek John Project:
Organization for the event is now falling into place and set to be a very positive event.
Event Time and Date: The Shear Off will be held beside the Fairbrother clock tower (Ward street Dannevirke) March 11 , 2010, 5.30 pm.
Shrek John will be
piped along High Street CBD by Harvey Sattrup in a sheep pen on the back

ALL those having head sheared should register with Info Centre whether they are doing it privately or wish it done at event, as stated they also can get sponsors for their head shearing.
We would certainly like
to have some idea of how many wish to be sheared at the Event by
Tuesday/Wednesday this week.
Hairdressers who have taken the time to volunteer there services: Power Cut Zest Deja Vu The Barber Shop Jagged Edge Dinamikz Static Hair Design, Queen St Country Cut & Curls/Norsewood.
Any other hairdresser who would like to take part can contact Info Centre dvkeinfocentre@xtra.co.nz
At present the even is really short of volunteers - at time of print we only have five, and to make the event a great success it would be awesome to have many more.
This is a good cause for the community to work together so why not get your: business, club, school etc accepting the challenge of one or some of their number being shorn. You can register with the Information Centre today. Download Registration Form and drop off or fax it to the Dannevirke Info Centre.
The event has also had a great offer of Helicopter ride from Outback Helicopters for children with cancer related illnesses, and an equally great separate offer of plane ride for those kids.
John Walshe has three rugby jerseys that will go on Trade Me to raise funds 1 x Sharks signed by team, 1 x Hurricanes signed by team and 1 x South African signed by captain John Smit.

Update Re Shearing Shrek John Project.
The Challenge is for like-minded folk to be shorn and they can be sponsored by friends/relatives/neighbours/workmates/clubmates/themselves etc and they should register with the Information Centre.
Depending on numbers wishing to be shorn at the event they are asked to bring along their own battery operated hair clippers etc and a friend to do the shearing.
For those not wishing to be shorn in public should do so prior to the event and come along and support Shrek John - the others and the Project Of course all monies donated to the Challengers should also be deposited at the Info Centre where a receipt will be issued. Further up-dates may be forthcoming
03 February 2010 SHEARING SHREK JOHN
Well known identity, especially in farming circles, John Walshe has thrown down a challenge to anyone wanting to join him on his campaign to raise funds for child cancer patients in the Dannevirke district.
The shear-off is being
organised as a Dannevirke Lions community fund raiser event, represented
by Bob Dresser and supported by Dannevirke based Cancer Society Tararua
Field Officer Shirley Walker also backs this fund raiser 100%. John was at the second ewe fair earlier in the day (buying and selling). To show his company’s
support for the Shear Off, PGG Wrightson manager Roger Watts said the
company will sponsor $500 and “challenges other businesses to do the
same”. There has been a lot of
interest from the community, a weight in guessing competition, of the
`fleece’ (hair & beard) will be included at $2 an entry.
All funds will then be forwarded to the Lion’s “SHEARING SHREK JOHN “fundraising account.
All sponsorship goes to the Dannevirke Cancer Support Group who will distribute the money to support children with cancer related illnesses and their families in Dannevirke and District
