NR - FUNDRAISING??

[HEGitana at aol.com]

Hi sweetie, 

I think there is a misunderstanding here.  The problem didn't start because 
of Namron.  It was the following post and the responses to it that initially 
brought the problem to light.

The Barony of the Eldern Hills bids Greetings,

We will be hosting a Membership Raffle at Northern Regional Tribute.  The
more entries, the more prizes to be awarded.
For more details, see HE Adria at the Raffle table in the Main Hall.

Then there were the responses to Richard's post, like:

But, Drawings are Legal..provided the tickets are obtained by Donation.
So, remember NO RAFFLES, but we do have Drawings.

I didn't even know that Namron was involved until after I had talked to 
Richard.  I had seen a post by an individual lady, but no indication that it 
was Namron.  Because this was a regional event set up originally by the 
Kingdom Seneschal, I contacted Richard privately.  I didn't want a big 
discussion on the list so I asked him to get in touch with the two 
individuals who had posted and explain to them.  I felt the less said the 
better.  As you well know it didn't work out that way.  Richard chose to post 
to all on the list, but I don't believe that he and I know I didn't mean to 
leave you out of the loop.  I just never felt that it was Namron's problem.  
You guys had already had enough to deal with and I'm really sorry that this 
became a problem for you too.

Actually I'm sorry that it became a problem for anyone, but there was little 
I could do about it once it was posted to a public forum. 

Again I apologize and I hope knowing how it all came about will make you feel 
better.  If you have any other questions that you think I can answer I'll be 
glad to try.
