Ever been flocked? No? Don't know what you're missing...
Yesterday was my first time... No, my first time was not gentle...I was not eased into the idea of getting flocked... My first time was an all-out, wham-bam, in your face flocking... And, well, I must admit it put a smile on my face...it's still there... ;o)
Who knew that getting flocked could be so much fun? I now realize how naïve I was... A delicate flocking virgin, if you will...
Now that I know what I was missing, I believe that everyone should get flocked...at least once...
I imagine that flocking can be done in a number of ways. There may even be books available on the subject...who knows? But, the fact is...if you're not flocking...others are being affected by it...not just you!
If no one is flocking in your neighborhood, you should do something about it. I mean, heck, flock your neighbors! They'll thank you for it...trust me. Every community should be flocking...
I guess there comes a time in every blogger's life when they should be as open and honest with their readers, as possible...even when it comes to some very personal stuff. So, in case some of you have never flocked or been flocked, I am going to share with you some of the details of my flocking... I hope it helps you...
My neighbors did it to me... And, yes, it was very personal...
Here I was, minding my own business...just coming home from the grocery store, as a matter of fact. And, what happens the very minute I get home?
A very personal flocking given to me by my neighbors and an invitation to flock anyone I want... To say that I was surprised is a bit of an understatement but, I was quick to warm to the idea.
It is for a good cause, after all...
Every year, our high school's Project Graduation Committee holds fundraisers for the "Class Night" celebration. The funds raised provide for an all night, chaperoned, substance-free celebration for the graduating seniors. Communities all over the country are saving lives, every year, by having these safe parties.
The goal of the night is simple: to help ensure that the futures of our children are not cut short by a few careless hours of celebrating and risky behavior during what should be a time of joy in their young lives.
This latest fundraiser (2008 Class) is called, "Flamingo Flocking". When you are flocked, 12 to 15 delightfully tacky pink, plastic flamingoes will reside on your lawn for about 48 hours.
You are provided an envelope that instructs you on "Flamingo Etiquette". Flamingo Etiquette provides you with the options available to you, the Flockee...
Flockees can:
Flock A Friend - $15
Remove The Flock - $15
Remove AND Flock - $25
Pre-Flocking Insurance (avoid being flocked) - $10
Post-Flocking Insurance (protection from being re-flocked) - $5
Or "Thank You, No Thank You" (no donation) - $0
It's fun...it's creative...it's for a great cause. I repeat...everyone should be flocking.
If your neighbors aren't flocking, they're probably engaged in some other activity that benefits a similar cause... I urge you to find out what it is they're doing...and support them!
Money well spent, in my opinion...
So...Go Get Flocked!
