offset the cost & free money is always welcomed, believe me!- the Barony should be ok with paying for it if need be. Now if we were to go the Tammy Faye Baker route with gold fixtures or a Japanese Bath House, well, my vote is for the Japanese Bath House!!! =o) Just kidding, but I can dream too... </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="times new roman" color=#40007f></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="times new roman" color=#40007f>Seriously -</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="times new roman" color=#40007f><U>There are many other projects ideas to consider for funding:</U></FONT></DIV> <DIV><U><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#40007f></FONT></U> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="times new roman" color=#40007f>-Quoth: A&S issue, postage, color cover or picture inserts, etc</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#40007f></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face="times new roman" color=#40007f>-Improve & enclose

I need all your stuff by then. Also, if you have anything to put in the Silent Auction then please let me know. If you can, bring the item to Business Meeting on the 20th or to the Sept. Populace.</div> <div><BR> Originally, we were thinking of doing the Auction to raise money to repair the showers, and that is a good choice. After much thought and chatting with folk I decided to go a different route. We have money in the coffers for the shower already and we are already looking
into their repair.</div> <div><BR> However...the newsletter is an ongoing expense. I would like to do the Auction for the Quoth. It can be used to cover postage, COLOR printing and such.
