<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Household Competition for Gulf
Wars<BR><BR><BR><BR>Introducing the Waterbearer's Challenge! Each year the
call goes out,<BR>"Please bring empty 2-liter bottles to Gulf Wars!" This
is a competition<BR>for households to see which house can collect the greatest
number of 2-liter<BR>bottles for the Gulf Wars Waterbearing cause. This
activity hopes to<BR>fulfill three aspects:<BR><BR><BR><BR> 1.. Supply the
Gulf Wars Waterbearers with much needed empty bottles.<BR> 2.. Put all
households on the same level in a friendly competition. Size<BR>doesn't
matter!<BR> 3.. Create a new Gulf Wars annual
competition.<BR><BR>Materials to be collected are empty 2-liter bottles and pop
tops<SPAN class=005321914-06012004> (ie sports bottle squirt caps)</SPAN>.
Quality<BR>will count! Read the requirements for donating empty 2-liter
bottles on the<BR>Gulf Wars website - <A
href="http://www.gulfwars.org/water.html">http://www.gulfwars.org/water.html</A>
One point is given<BR>for each bottle collected, bonuses are given to meeting
the 'other'<BR>requests. Sheer number can win, but in the event of a tie
on number of<BR>bottles, quality will decide. Donating pop-tops is an
automatic double bonus!<BR><BR><BR><BR>Interested households wishing to compete
should email the Meridian Kingdom<BR>Waterbearer at <A
href="mailto:water@meridies.org">water@meridies.org</A> with your household
name, kingdom and<BR>group. Once you arrive at Gulf Wars, submit your
contribution at the<BR>Waterbearing Point near the fort. Contributions for
competition will be<BR>accepted at all times, just look for the 'Waterbearer's
Challenge Donation </P>
<P class=MsoNormal style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt">Station' sign. Materials for
competition may be submitted all week, up until noon on Thursday. Winner will be
announced at Great Court on Saturday night. There will be a prize for the
