TACO Trivia is going global in 2009! TACO is about raising money to 'Train A Cadet Overseas'. We're encouraging local Salvation Army Corps to run a TACO Trivia Night. Charge people to come along. Play some trivia, eat some TACOs, and send the money to a Salvation Army Training College overseas (e.g. a third world College that needs the finances desperately).
An overview so far this year:
* Around Toronto in Canada, a TACO Trivia night was ran in February.
* The Australia Eastern Territory has jumped on board, and some cadets at their Training College are encouraging Corps in that Territory to run TACO Trivia Nights (Thanks Belinda!)
* Australia Southern Territory will be getting on board once again this year and making sure we lock in plenty of venues around the Territory.
* A Corps in New Zealand are strongly considering running a TACO Trivia Night.
* An article recently popped up about the TACO Trivia concept in a Mission Newsletter in the USA Central Territory (Perspectives Magazine).
* A Corps Officer in the UK is going to help promote the TACO Trivia inititiave in his areas of influence.
TACO Trivia is going global. We are bound to raise lots of financialy support (& prayer) for Salvo Training Colleges that need our support. Lets put food on the table for struggling Cadets. Lets help fund the electrical power to some facilities. Lets curb the waiting lists for new cadets in some Colleges. It's time to Train A Cadet Overseas!!

TACO Trivia! TACO Trivia! What is it?
TACO Trivia was birthed in Melbourne, Australia, and is about empowering Salvation Army Centres around the World, to raise money for training Salvation Army Cadets in third world countries. TACO stands for 'Train A Cadet Overseas'. All we are asking Salvation Army centres/corps to do, is to run a Trivia Night, eat some TACOs, charge people money to come, and send all your profits to a Salvo Training College in a Third World setting.
If you click the 'TACO Resources' button at right, you will find some blogs that give you some help in running a TACO Trivia Night.
In 2009, we are looking at raising well over $25,000 for Training Cadets Overseas. Will you join the TACO Trivia challenge?
