Well, here's another update from the TACO arena. Last Saturday we had three venues: Mooroolbark (VIC), Ingle Farm (SA) and Perth Fortress (WA). They each had a great night and here's a quick preview:
* Mooroolbark had a great turnout of about 80 people and raised over $900. Thank Carolyn and others for all your hard work!
* Ingle Farm raised over $700 and on the night auctioned off an 'Air Guitar' and an 'Imaginary Friend'. That's a cool way to raise some cash and keep the expenses down! Thanks Paul for your commitment to the cause.
* Perth Fortress raised a whopping $1,100 and Cadet Gareth got the Youth Group to serve on the night. Thanks mate!
So the TACO initiative is going awesome. We have two more venues left in 2008:
Packenham (4th Oct) and Bentleigh (11th Oct).
So far if my calculations are correct we have raised about: $7360. How cool is that?
Also, some breaking news. Our first TACO Trivia Night is happening outside Australia, at Etobicoke Temple in Toronto on Jan 24th. Thanks to Vangi Court for catching the vision! TACO is going Global!
5 Venues Down: The update...
Well five venues have happened, and they were a great success!
On Saturday 13th September, we had two TACO Trivia Nights happen, one at the Training College (Melbourne), and the other at South Barwon Corps.
Cadet Aaron Stobie led the troops at South Barwon, amongst others (Karyn, Jackie, Sarah, etc..). They had 40 people or so, and raised over $700! What an awesome effort!
At the Training College we had a whopping 90 people, coming from nearby Corps/Outposts (Melbourne 614, Reserviour, Collingwood, and plenty of Training College staff, Cadets and Friends). We raised close to $1,500!
Do you know, there are waiting lists for cadets in some overseas Training College's? Do you know that most Territories in The Salvation Army are not financially self-sufficient? It's time to flip the tables when it comes to financial inequality in our world...
TACO Trivia Nights are fulfilling a part of that vision. So far we've raised about $4,600 over five venues with the TACO initiative. Praise God.

3 Venues down! An Update...
On Saturday night, we had three venues hosting TACO Trivia Nights. One at Wyndham City (VIC), Altona (VIC) and Darwin (NT).
We have raised in excess of $2,500 in just these three events! What an amazing result!
A big thanks to Les Porter and Judith Sutcliffe at Wyndham, Shaun Featherston at Altona, Peter Wood and the Burgan family at Darwin for taking on the organising of these venues. Also, thanks to those who have given so generously to the cause of supporting Cadets and Training College's in developing Countries.
This Saturday 13th, we have the Australia Southern Territory TRAINING COLLEGE and SOUTH BARWIN Corps hosting TACO Trivia Nights. We hope for another big success and exciting nights of fellowship together.
