The last days of Maovember

Final chances to have fun and give:

Home Plate Barbecue

Given his fashionable facial hair of years past, it makes sense that manager Dave Bob will host a Mr Maovember contest. The four categories include "Best Natural Mustache" and "Best Business Beard." There will also be a keg of free-flow Jing-A beer.

Paddy O'Shea's

Picklebacks party, and celebrate the end of the month with a few drinks at this Irish bar. This will be a last chance to grab your Maovember pin, a keepsake for helping others.

Tim's Texas Bar-B-Q

Call it the "hair of the dog" of the campaign. Given the event started one week into November, it wraps up exactly a month later with a Charity Texas Hold'em Tournament at Tim's Texas Bar-B-Q. Admission costs 500 yuan, which includes six hours of free-flowing drinks and BBQ and snacks, and the chance to win some prizes. The tournament is limited to the first 24 people who pay the admission fee.
