Trying to follow the changes at noahsmom.com? Me, too.
Let's try and re-cap this week's events:
--A new link has been added called "Noah Stuff and
Associated Friends." Through this,
you can link to The Noahsmom.com Store and the information about purchasing
Noah items (autograph, CD).
--Noahsmom.com had tried to retire the old autographed
pictures, but fans weren't happy with that, so the old ones are now available
again for a limited time. There are now
two pictures and one old picture to choose from, so when you order yours for $5
US cash or check, $6 US international, or $10 Canadian, you must now specify
which picture you would like (#1, #2, or #3) from the related link on
www.noahsmom.com/noahstuff.htm.
--A new section, called the "Hot New Stuff
Section," will be updated soon.
This is where the newest changes to the website will be announced.
--On 06-27-01 at 19:26, Mr. B posted this message:
"New website back, but some things never change!!
I just spent the last four hours putting up the old website
for old time sake. Have fun with it. I guess you didn't like the fact that I
took down the Michael memorial. It was just meant to be a short time thing. I'm
sorry if you were offended by it. Unfortunatly life has to move on. We all
loved Michael. When I put the picture of Haley and Michael back up I had to
stop a minute and think, I can't believe he is gone. Don't worry, he is gone
but never forgotten. I'm just trying to do what you all seem to want but the
website can't continue to be so big.
Thanks for your support and please try to get along better.
We Love you all,
The B's"
Also, on the front page, this message was posted:
"Sometimes new isn't always best. How about a return to
the old and faithful! Back by popular demand for a limited time, the old
website. Hope you enjopy it!!!!!"

On Saturday, 06-23-01, there was a Bluey Day event at
Metrotown Mall in Burnady, BC, where firemen, police officers, ambulance
paramedics, and other emergency attendants shaved their heads to raise money
for BC's Children's Hospital and The Michael Cuccione Foundation. Vancouver Television was there to cover the
event. Between 40 and 50 men, women,
and children shaved their heads for this great cause. Michael Cuccione, Sr., Michael's uncle, and Domenic and Gloria
Cuccione, Michael's parents, were also in attendance to observe a moment of
silence for Michael and to see over $1,000 raised! (Domenic made a speech: "When Michael was still here, I told
him I would shave the last three hairs on my hair for him, and he said, 'No
Dad, I don't want you to do that for me,' but Michael didn't say anything about
my mustache...so if you guys here in the mall right now can raise $1,000, I
will shave off my mustache I've had since I was 18." It didn't take long for the money to be
raised, and Gloria was supportive when Domenic's mustache came off. Although a bit breathtaken to see her
husband mustache-less, she soon shrugged and said that he had his son's
lips.) Behind the goings-on (including
a woman named Jenna who told a heartfelt story of how she lost nearly her
entire family to cancer and had beaten it herself, then shaved her head), a
massive pictures of Michael from MTV sat with one candle burning in front of
it. After the head-shaving, a Luau
After-Party picked up the mood, including a barbeque and DJs that played Name
That Tune.
The next day, Sunday, 06-24-01, a private, invitation-only
golf-a-thon was held. (It is believed
that there were several celebrities in attendance.) Michael's agent, Kristina Van De Walle, had only good news to
report afterwards: the event was a super-success! (Source: Teresa at

Steven Cuccione, Michael's younger brother, attends most of

Day), although Sophia, his older sister, does not. Michael Cuccione Sr., however, is present at the majority of the

Here is some information on a few Canadian fundraisers for
The Michael Cuccione Foundation! (Source: Ashley Kleinknecht at

Cultural Center in Vancouver, Canada on September 22. Tickets will be $60.00.

code will be mid-formal, with a shirt and tie for boys and a dress for
girls. As has been reported by
Michael's former agent, Kristina Van De Walle, there will be live and silent
auctions and a 50-50 draw in addition to a wonderful meal.
--Another dinner with profits going toward the foundation
will be held in Medicine Hat, Alberta, Canada on October 27. A recording of this dinner's presentation

bidding.)

Kohls has made this statement when e-mailed:
"Sorry...we are sold out of 2Ge+her dolls and we have no plans to carry

longer available. If you still know of
a location that has some left, please let me know (subj: Buy Dolls Here).

Quote/Fun Fact
"Remember the night
You said it's all right
To stay out until the morning?
We drove to the pond
And we kept our clothes on,
But the cops still gave us a warning.
Your dad was afraid I'd hurt you
When you were seven hours
Past your midnight curfew.
We didn't care;
It was a great date
In the spring of '98."
-Mickey in "Spring of '98" from "BEE-ATCH:
B-Sides and Remixes"

2. Make A Difference
from "Make A Difference"
(Michael Cuccione)
I wanna make a difference in this world.
Reach out the sky...
See a difference in my eye...
To make the difference in this world,
May God make the tears drift away.
Make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
Oh, make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
I wanna make a difference in this world.
If we all do our part we can make a brand new start.
To make the difference in this world,
Let's try to understand and reach a hand.
Make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
Make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
Oh, make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
(Make this world a place of God.)
Oh make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
(Make this world a place of love.)
I wanna make a difference in this world.
I want to stay strong and see things come along.
To make the difference in this world,
I feel in my soul we can't go wrong.
Make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
Make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
Oh, make a difference...wait and see...
There's a love in you and me.
Oh, make a difference to the world.
Tell the boys and the girls.
(repeat, fade out)
IN THE FUTURE...
