that is unless you can find a member in that business who is willing/able to 
donate/waive these fees as a "gift" to a kingdom that they have always cared 
for, even if they've been absent from it for a while ... so don't dismiss this 
option until i can get you both together for a face-face discussion, hopefully 
later part of next week.  placed the matter before him a couple days back and 
he's interested in principle in helping out and has available resources at his

often provided as part of the monthly fee (had to research exactly this
