[Ansteorra] The Roses need *YOUR* help!

[Traci]

Greetings Ansteorra!

I come to you today with a request for assistance!  The Roses will be
holding a raffle at this years Steppes 12th Night in order to fund various
events and items coming up which are funded completely by the Roses.  First
and foremost is the Ansteorran Rapier Tourney breakfast held every year at
Gulf Wars.  Gulf Wars isn't too far off & we want to show as always the
hospitality of Ansteorra to the Knowne World.  Funds raised from this raffle
will also eventually go toward future Rose cloaks, additional expenses at
Defenders of the Rose events & anything we think will be for the good of the
Kingdom.

We are looking for donations of not only items that can be raffled off that
day but also include promissory notes for items that could be created &
delivered at a later date to the winners.  The raffle format will be the one
in which winners names are called out as they are drawn from the hat and
that person will then be able to go to the tables and choose their prize so
you will walk away with something that truly pleases you if you win!

 I will be at several events before 12th Night (Queen's Champion, BAM) and
will be accepting donations at all times.  You can also contact me offlist
for my mailing address to send donation or to speak with me in regards to a
promissory item which I will happily write up information on cards to have
out at the time of the raffle.  I will still be accepting donations at
Steppes 12th Night right up until we start pulling names so if you cannot
make events before then please feel free to bring it to that event or have
it sent along with someone that will be attending.

Thank you all for your support!
Countess Elizabeta di Valore della Rosa
