At Monday's Populace meeting, I spoke on the subject of funds raised by 
Northkeep for the purchase of waterbearer supplies at Argent Anniversary.  
$100.00 was collected and sent in the form of a money order to the Kingdom 
Waterbearer two weeks before AAA.  after the event, she contacted me and let me 
know that due to the large quantity of item donations the day of the event, the 
additional cash money received was not utilized.  She returned the money in the 
form of a check made out to the Barony, which I have turned over to His 
Excellency Ainar.  What I then asked the Populace, was this:  What shall be 
done with this money? One gentleman suggested that it be used for waterbearing, 
since that is what it was raised for.  I am in favor of that, but there are 
many individual uses.  Northkeep, the money raised came from you -- please let 
us know how you wish it to be spent.  Here are just a few of the possibilities:

1) Use it exclusively for two Northkeep events ($50.00 each), removing the 
budgetary line items for waterbearing for those events.

2) Use it for any Ansteorran event that the N.N.Ws (Northkeep Ninja 
Waterbearers) are providing service during.

3) Use it to purchase 3 or more 'waterbearer kitchens' (ie a big tupperware tub 
full of utensils, bowls, garbage bags, etc etc) as a gift for Northkeep's 
Cantons (Chemin Noir) or other start-up groups.

4) Use it to purchase more waterbearer patches ($1.50 each, we're completely 
out) for those who take the Waterbearing 101 class in Northkeep or the Northern 
Region.

5) Use it to purchase supplies for the weekly Northkeep fighter practices 
($6.50 per practice, 2 practices per week)

6) Put it towards the purchase of a non-period Pop-Up tent specifically for the 
Northkeep Waterbearers Guild to use at events. (These cost $180, approximately. 
Additional funds could be made by individual or Barony donation)

7) Put it towards the purchase/creation of largess for those who do 
waterbearing at events.

any other suggestions... ?

In service to Baron, Region and Kingdom,
