Unfortunately, you under-estimate the loyalty of the OSU fan base.
The King-OSU contingent has been steadily organizing over the past two
weeks and has gotten in contact with Mr. Jeffrey Scott, principal of
an elementary school in Columbus, Ohio (I cannot divulge which school
on conditions of anonymity) who agreed to help us with our efforts.
This unnamed school went viral with our plea - sending out numerous
emails, and has helped collect quite a few checks. Of course, this
does not surprise me.

In Mr. Scott's email to me, he indicated that he mailed off the
envelope containing these checks on Tuesday, so this should arrive in
today's mail. I have promised him we will forward a picture of you,
donning the lovely scarlet and gray jersey with smile intact, so that
he can share this with his elementary school. I think you will find
the colors suit you much better than maize and blue.

Sincerely,

The King - OSU Contingent

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this . . .

Thank you.

New Procedure for Dressing Mr. Karr in your "Color of Choice"

On auction night, there will be a dedicated "pledge" table whereby you fill out your : Name, "color choice" and how much you pledge. Final tally will be at 7:45 and winning color will be the one with the most dollars pledged. Announcement of winner is at 8:15pm. If your color wins---You pay. If your color doesn't win--Pay nothing.

HELP: An OSU Threat

Dear OSU Parent,

I think they messed your jersey up. You should ask for a refund! The colors are off because I only wear blue and yellow jerseys like that . . . and my peeps will represent on Friday.

Sincerely,

Mr. K

Mr. K's Silent Auction Update

Dear MLK Families,

If you are a University of Michigan fan, graduate, or supporter, I want to make you aware of something disturbing that is happening at King School. CLICK HERE.

This is obviously unacceptable, so we need to get organized before the Silent Auction this Friday at 6 PM. CLICK HERE to show your support!

Sincerely,
Kevin

An Auction Update from the Ohio State - King Elementary School Contingent

Support is pouring in from formerly unknown OSU fans at King School. Momentum is strong and we are confident that Mr. Karr will look particularly rosie in a scarlet and gray jersey. Contact TBrodkey@gmail.com for more information about pooling funds to win this silent auction item.

Auction Chair Note - "As promised - I am honoring the requests of the Ohio State fans at GREAT personal angst. In the name of fund raising - we appreciate the OSU efforts and will accept their donation willingly - but COME ON UM people - we do LIVE in Ann Arbor - won't this be an embarrassment to see Mr. Karr in "scarlett" and grey? Ugh... This is painful!!"
