Extra! Extra! Read All About All The New DT TO MOB Updates!

There has been a lot of stuff happening since our kickoff!

Vancouver We Day was on October 13th and one of our awesome MOB leads Lindsey attended and got to see amazing speakers like Shaq, Mia Farrow and Mikhail Gorbachev and hear performances from Hedley, Down With Webster and of course, Mr. Swagger himself, Shawn Desman! If you weren't able to watch the show online, never fear, highlights from both We Day Toronto and Vancouver will be airing on October 30th at 7pm on MuchMusic and on November 26th at 7pm on CTV!

We also had Pod 4 complete their One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite event on October 15th at High Park! Check out some amazing shots Celeste took throughout the event!

We also welcomed a new member to our leadership team, Julia! You guys will all get a chance to meet this awesome girl super soon because...

On Saturday, October 29th, the remaining 3 Pods will be having their One Day One Night event at the Me To We Store from 1-5! It's going to be an awesome day so RSVP with any of the MOB Leadership team and we hope to see you there!

We'd also like to update you on the latest in our social media news! The DT TO MOBilizers "friend" page will be deleted in the next couple of days as we have instead set up a community Page where you can "like" us and encourage your friends to "like" us to! We feel this will be a more effective means of communication so please like us at http://www.facebook.com/dttomobilizers

We also have a Twitter now so follow us at http://twitter.com/DTTOmobilizers

LASTLY! Make sure you all are marking your calenders for our HUGE Silent Cities event on November 13th! Sign up here and encourage everyone you know to come and join us!

GET EXCITED DT TO MOB!

OUR MOB-TASTIC MONTH AHEAD

Your MOB leadership team has a lot to be thankful for this long weekend and the main reason why is because we have TWO more events to share with you this month!!!

In the next few days you will be receiving an email from your "Pod Lead". These pods are mini-groupings of MOBilizers based on their location in the city who will be coming together for certain events, such as One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite and Halloween For Hunger!

The first of these, One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite is going to be a hunger fast that we are doing as a MOB in order to increase our number of can donations for local food banks. Our entire MOB will be fasting from 5pm Friday October 14th until 5pm Saturday October 15th. During this time, if you wish, you can ask for pledges  from your family and friends and on Saturday we will be gathering in our pods to do some activities and collect some more cans and just generally have some more MOB-bonding time, which is always a great time :)

But you may ask, why are we collecting cans so early? Halloween For Hunger isn't until October 31st?


Well my friends, our two October events mark the beginning of the TORONTO MOB POD CHALLENGE !!!!!


Basically, we're going to be keeping track of which pods collect the most food over the course of the month and the winning pod will get a special surprise from your leadership team! Sound cool? YOU BET IT DOES!


So guys enjoy your long weekend and make sure you keep checking your emails and Facebook for more info about the awesome MOB times ahead <3

MAD MOB LOVING!

KICKOFF= SUCCESS!

Thank you so much for all the people who came out to our DT TO MOB kickoff on Saturday! It was a huge success and we were so glad to have the chance to meet all of you!

For those of you who weren't able to come down, here's a little recap!

We started the day off with some snacks and intros including the ever interesting, Two Truths and A Lie game :)

It was really cool to hear about all the amazing things our (Mob)ilizers have done. We heard about your pet llamas, cloud walks and interviews with the Jonas Brothers as well as got to know this year's MOB Leadership Team better too! 

Next came a visit from 2/3 of our lovely BaseCamp staff! Natasha and Kevin stopped by to talk a little bit about their role at Free The Children and our MOB Village, Llullin Totoras in Ecuador.

After that, our first special guest arrived! Michel Chikwanine, Me To We Speaker and all around inspirational human being stopped by the Me To We Store to greet the DT TO MOB and share a little bit of his story with us. 

Afterwards, we started discussing MOB Calender and all the fantastic things the MOB has planned for this year! We heard some amazing ideas and are super excited about putting them all into action! If you have any ideas you'd like to share with the MOB, please let us know! Shoot us an email at dt.to.mobilizers@gmail.com or post on our Facebook! We want to know what YOU want to do to make a difference! You will also be receiving an email with info about your Core Team and MOB Leads! Be sure to connect with us and let us know your plans! This month we will be organizing events for One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite and Halloween For Hunger! Let us know what YOU want to see happen for these events and let's work together to make them a reality!

After saying goodbye to some of our team, the remaining (Mob)ilizers headed out to the park where we played an intense game of Lava Pit, sharing laughs, smiles...and a few falls. Overall it was a great bonding experience and we had a fantastic time trying to figure out the best way to bring the team across the "lava" :)

Afterwards, although most (Mob)ilizers had left, our second special guest arrived late with gifts of ice cream sandwiches for all! Marc Kielburger dropped by the Store to say how proud he was of all of us and how excited he is to hear about the amazing things DT TO MOB has in the works!

It was a fantastic day and we were so glad to share it with all of you! Thanks to Michel and Marc for stopping by and we can't wait to see you all for One Day, One Night: We Won't Take A Bite!

MUCH MOB LOVE!
