24-Hour Twister

Hey everybody, great job on the fund-raising front! We raised almost 1300$ from our day-long twister game. Here are some highlights.
-Unfortunate weather had no chance to ruin our fun. We toughed through moderate rain and uncomfortable cold for a whole day! (So maybe some of our success was due to pity. It was well worth it.)
-Heather was the charitable renegade, chasing anything and everything that moved by our station. Students, teachers, any slow-moving or familiar pedestrians, bikes and eventually the president of McGill were fair game and got hassled by her. Effective, if a bit unorthodox. Her tactics WERE largely successful.
-Arian, general member extraordinaire, was inspired by Heather's tenacity and followed his first victim up halfway to the SSMU building and succeeded in wrestling some spare change for our cause. Way to go, young grasshopper.
-Manyi, who played the most games.
-Pamela, who finished off her shifts undefeated every single time.
-Stacey and Elisia, who gathered themselves up at 2am and stayed till the morning.
-Jin, who was visited around 4am while working on an essay in burnside. Sorry we bothered you... it was really wet ouside.
-The many odd and wonderful patrons who walk around McGill in the wee hours of the morning. Thanks for keeping us entertained.
-A few breaks for some Tim Horton's coffee and scones
