Information overload…
The Good
September has been a good month for November Project Malaysia. In the spirit of #NPGiveBack, we just wrapped up our fundraising through the amazing people of the November Project Malaysia tribe and raised over RM1000 for Zero Strays Miri; they are a volunteer group helping to control the stray dogs and cats population through trapping, spaying and neutering then releasing them. They also help treat any illness or diseases the strays may have and have a feeding team that goes around the city to feed the strays. You can read more about them and they are always looking for volunteers and donations.
Keeping on the giving back to the community vibes, on Oct 1st which is this Sunday, over 60 tribe members will be running in the Palliative Care Association of Miri “Run for Love 2017” Charity race. There will also be a cheer squad to create an awesome vibe for all runners so if you can’t run but still want to play a role in generating some kick ass vines, #justshowup. Palliative Care of Miri is a non-profit organization that provides medical care for people with serious illness, focusing on relief of symptoms and stress of the illness as well as improving quality of life for the patient and support for their family. You can find out more about what they do here and you can donate to them or volunteer as well.
This month we also threw out a recruitment challenge against November Project Hong Kong and we have seen the tribe bring out their friends, colleagues, neighbors, family to our Wednesday morning workouts. As we continue to spread the word about NP and generate more awareness of who we are and what we do or don’t do, we hope to get more Mirians will join the tribe. Going into the final week, we are up 2-1 (with a total count of 171- 155) so it looks like Carrie, Lloyd, Jay and the rest of the NP Hong Kong tribe will need to bring their strong recruiting game like they did in week two while we need to seal the deal and #recruiteveryone and #justshowup. We will know in less 24 hours who owns NP Asia bragging rights, which tribe will be holding the other tribe’s country flag for their first Wednesday group pic in October.
The Bad (Well for us but still good for her)
Last but not least, this Wednesday, we will also be saying good bye to Emma, who will be leaving us for a job opportunity in Kuala Lumpur. Emma has been with us even before we were November Project Malaysia and she will be truly missed because she is all about the positive vibes and the no quit attitude. Good luck Emma and all the best, don’t forget about us when you come back to visit #thisisyourtribe
Other stuff about this week:
- We will be doing a special 2nd #grassrootgear tagging this month so everyone running the PCAM race will have fresh gear. Don’t forget to bring a shirt, make sure it’s not a black shirt and no, you cannot bring a shirt for your bf/gf/partner/spouse/child/etc…you have to earn it by showing up and working out!
- “WHO AM I?” is the name of the workout this week. The co-leaders will assign you a personality (real or made up, human or animation) in the form of a label stuck to your back. You have to figure out who you are by asking anyone and everyone in the workout YES/NO questions only. This means the answers to your questions can only be a YES or a NO. If you get a yes, its 1 burpee and you are on your way to figuring out who you are. If you get a no, its 3 burpees and ask another questions.
Tip: Ask the right questions.
- We will be taking orders for November Project Buffs. You don’t know what is a buff? It’s a tube like piece of cloth that is quite versatile and multi-purpose. It basically helps you wipe sweat off, keep sweat out of your eyes, hold your hair in place, it’s a headband, sweatband, skull cap, bandana, etc. We are taking orders until Oct. 13th at RM30 a piece, you can place your order through the November Project Social Page…so giddyup! Get on it!!
