Flip Side Charity Flashmob!

Have you ever wanted to be a part of a flashmob? Here is your chance! Flip Side Stories and St. Vincent De Paul are partnering up to have the first Charity Flashmob and do it....Just Because. We need your help. Let me tell you a little bit about it, first.
Tweet
Where:
             Possible locations- Rochester Village Mall 

Needed: 
              Hundreds of volunteers. Ok, a hundred or more. My philosophy is go big or go home! If everyone recruits 5 friends, imagine the 
                        impact!
             Gently used clothing to give away to St. Vincent De Paul. Enough to wear on your body and/or bags of clothes (even better). 
                        They should be in bags that you wouldn't expect to be donation bags. Or wear as much as you can. The weirder it looks, the
                         better.
             Portable music system to play a song with speakers.
             A choir? 
             A t-shirt sponsor for approximately 200 t-shirts. I think St. Vincent De Paul can get t-shirts at a great cost.

Practice:
             We will be singing along with "Give a Little Love." by Ziggy Marley. You'll find the song below. You'll find the words below as well.
             In parenthesis are actions for the words. You don't HAVE to do the actions but it just adds to the fun. Kids will love the actions. 

Before the Event:
             We will meet at a secret location near the event location. There you will get your t-shirt to put on. Woman might find it easier to wear
             a tanktop to the event so they can put the shirt on over it. Then you can put clothes over it that you are willing to donate to charity.
             Pile on the clothes to look ridiculous or just enough to cover the t-shirt. If you want to give away pants, wear shorts underneath.

Starting Time:
             We will have a specific time that will trigger the flashmob. At that time, everyone will begin taking off their clothes down to the t-shirt. 
             You can say things like, "It is so hot out here."  "Did you see that SVDP booth? I'm going to donate my clothes." as you are
              doing it or just do it quietly.  Then, you will walk to the SVDP booth to leave your clothes. If you have bags of clothes, set those there 
              too. You should be singing while you are walking. Once you drop the clothes, move back away from the booth to let others in and 
              continue singing in the area. We will disperse near the end of the song and sing as we are disappearing into the crowd. You should 
              not talk to anyone. Just act normal as if nothing happened. You can leave at that time.
              I suspect the actual event will be approximately 5 minutes. Add on another hour for pre-event set-up. Might be less. We'll know when 
             we get closer.

Lyrics to Give A Little Love :
*We got to give a little love, have a little hope  (* Love=arms crossed over chest
*Make this world a little better                           Hope=hands together 
                                                                     World= arm circle overhead
Whoa, oh, oh                                                  Same for this stanza throughout)
Oh, oh, whoa

Livin' in this crazy world
So caught up in the confusion   (hold your head)
Nothin' is makin' sense
For me and you    (point to yourself and someone else)

Maybe we can find a way
There's got be a solution
How to make a brighter day
What do we do  (palms up and a shrug)

We got to give a little love, have a little hopeMake this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together

Oh, whoa, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try

Got the words on our minds   (point to head)
Got the troubles on our shoulders  (point to shoulders)
Sometimes it seems so much
What we go through

Maybe if we take the time   (point to wrist)
Time to understand each other  (point finger back and forth between each other)
You can learn to make it right
What do we do   (palms up and a shrug)We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together

Oh, whoa, whoa
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try

Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Give a little
Oh, ah, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try

[If everybody took somebody by the hand] (hold hands around you)
Come on take him by the hand
[Then maybe everyone could learn to love and understand]

Oh, whoa, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try, sing it

Oh, whoa, oh, la, la, la
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh
Only if we try

We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better [Make this a better world]
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together

Oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh
Only if we try

(Somewhere in here, will signal a time to walk away clapping and singing.)
We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this world a little better [Make it a better world]
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together

Oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh
We can really make it better, yeah
Oh, whoa, oh, la, la, la
Only if we try

We got to give a little love, have a little hope
Make this a little better
We could do it together, together

Give a little love (Give a little love)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Sing a Babylon (Sing a Babylon)
Only if we try

*Give a little love, have a little hope
Make this a little better [Make it a better world]
Try a little more, harder than before
Let's do what we can do together
