Beefcake Biker Calendar Raises Funds for New Senior
Center
Leading citizens in Kerrville, Texas, drop their
pants for a good cause
Nov. 10, 2005 Leave it to some old
geezers from
the Texas Hill Country to do something wild and just a little crazy.
Nude motorcycle calendars have worked well for women even senior
citizens so why not for men. Anyone who hears the words "senior
citizens" and thinks of nursing homes doesn't know the "Mild Bunch."
After recognizing a dire need for a new senior community, fifteen
high-profile community leaders of Kerrville, Texas came together to help
raise money for a new facility. The group developed a unique and
undeniably risquι
method of fundraising for the $4 million capital campaign project, which
required the "Mild Bunch" to drop everything -- including their pants.

The Fab 15, who range in age from 54 to 80,
volunteered as models for the new Dietert Senior Centers "Mild Bunch"
Beefcake Biker Calendar.
In a show of civic pride, each community leader
posed with some of the hottest motorcycles for the quirky and somewhat
revealing calendar spread.
Each calendar sells for $20, postage and
handling are $1.50 and all proceeds benefit the DSC building fund. The
new building will replace a 36-year old Dietert Senior Center.
Although all the calendar models' professions
differ -- from an attorney, a university president, car dealership
proprietor and bank presidents to sales gurus, radio personalities and
an architect -- all agreed raising money for this important cause was
something close to their hearts. The "Mild Bunch" also hopes to change
the public's perceptions of seniors with this lighthearted approach to
fundraising.
"Thirty-one percent of Kerr County's population is
age 60 or older and the area has an ever-increasing number of senior
residents. We are currently working out of four buildings in various
locations with no more room to grow because our facility space is maxed
out.
Furthermore, seniors must cross a busy highway to get to our senior
center since parking is limited," said DSC Executive Director Tina
Woods. "We are looking forward to raising the remainder of the funding
for the building's capital campaign project to alleviate these problems
and, hopefully, we can break ground in early 2006."
According to Mr. December Walter Workman, "The DSC
'Mild Bunch' Beefcake Biker Calendar is really the perfect holiday item
for that special someone who has it all! Not only is the calendar a
hoot, but the proceeds are really contributing to an excellent cause."
