The work that has been done so far is phenomenal, but we<BR>need more materials to start the next stage.<BR>I believe that - even as tight as money is - every adult in this<BR>Barony could manage to come up with $5 per payday ($10 would be better!).<BR>That's only $10 (or $20) per month!<BR>I have been unemployed before, so I know how tight money can be.<BR>But, even when I lived from hand to mouth, I know I managed to come up with<BR>$10 a month for things I really wanted (yes, I'm a smoker).<BR>What we are asking is that you want this bad enough to donate $10<BR>(...$20) a MONTH - on a regular basis. While this may not sound like much<BR>to some people, the sheer number of
members we now have would make this<BR>barony's dreams come true very quickly. At $10 per month, each adult in the<BR>barony would have contributed $120 by the end of a year. With almost 50<BR>adult members in our Barony, that would add approximately $6,000 to the<BR>Castle Fund! <BR>$6,000 !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<BR>EVERY YEAR! After the Castle is finished, there is the Feast Hall, the<BR>Chapel, and then the Village, etc.<BR>Of course this is a sales pitch! But please remember 2 things:<BR>1) It's only $5 or $10 dollars a payday<BR>2) We have to want it bad enough - do you?<BR><BR>In service to Bordermarch, Ansteorra, and <BR>The Dream<BR>EricS<BR><BR>_______________________________________________<BR>Bordermarch mailing list<BR>Bordermarch@ansteorra.org<BR>http://www.ansteorra.org/mailman/listinfo/bordermarch<BR></BLOCKQUOTE>
