[Bordermarch] Kingdom Donation

[Bill C Burgin]

Vivat! Excellent decision.  If I may, I would have to disagree with a minor point: Bordermarch was not "blessed" with the biggest event; BordermarchERS worked to make it so!  And, since the proceeds came from members of this and other kingdoms, I think it fitting that some of it go to the aid of the SCA, as a whole.  
There were many years when this lovely little Barony on the edge of nowhere could hardly support itself. I am thrilled that we are now - thanks to the hard work of (literally) generations of SCAers - in a position to not only provide for ourselves, but also give aid to the Kingdom and the Game we all love so much.
An Old Timer's perspective,

We cannot destroy the Earth; we can only destroy our ability to live on it.

>It has been decided by those that attended tonight's barony financial meeting along with the financial committee and the B&B that a donation will be sent to the Kingdom of Ansteorra to help with the recent lawsuit settlement. It was also decided that this will be a gift and not be reimbursed to the barony in the future. Please be reassured that we are not taking away from the budget for BAM or any office budgets but do feel Bordermarch has been blessed with the biggest event in Ansteorra so we can afford to support our kingdom as well.
