[Ansteorra] Ansteorra Digest, Vol 70, Issue 6

I have some other crazy fundraising ideas for the Kingdom, in addition
to allocating more of the Volunteer monies from Gulf Wars to the Kingdom.
I'm sure others have thought or discussed some of these possibilities
already.
Once the settlement monies are paid, perhaps
at each Kingdom-level event, we could have a "replenish the Kingdom coffers"
donation
container at Gate. People could add contributions, even spare change, as
they
chose and the money would be presented at Court by the sponsoring Group's
Exchequer or the
Event Autocrat to the Crown.
We could also have several auctions at large events, using donated
merchandise
to raise additional money for the Crown, just like we have done in the past
to raise
money for things like new thrones and coronets and pillows.
This gives people who have extra stuff but not extra cash an
opportunity to pass the items on to others, and these auctions are always
fun
and exciting.
Obviously people who can afford to do so should consider
renewing or getting a membership to help out the Society in general, even if
it is less expensive for them to just go to a few events and pay the
non-member
surcharge.
If there are local groups that don't have corporate-level bank accounts, it
appears that they are not required to contribute to the settlement. If that
is
true, local groups could evaluate their financial status to see if they
could make a donation
to the Crown, even a small one, or have some sort of activity at their more
localized events
to raise some additional funds for the Crown.
Believe me, I know that times are tough (we try to play this game as a
family
of four--try making new clothes for Gulf Wars for FOUR people!) But if we
all just do a little bit, it will go a long way toward helping our Kingdom
and
insuring that we can all continue to benefit from the game.
