Heilsa all...<br><br>I posted this on Facebook and since some folks aren't on that page I'm re-posting it here on the proper list.<br><br>------------------------------------------------------<br><br><span data-jsid="text">Good my Kith and Kin in Ravens Fort...<br><br>The
financial burden of the Crown and Crown Heirs may well be more
substantial than many realize... Think, if you will, on the 9 months of
travel expenses...not only for the Royal Couple...but for members of
Their entourage...fuel, oil, tires, eating out while on the road to
Wars, motel and hotel rooms for Themselves and entourage, travel to BoD
meetings (especially out of Kingdom meetings)...events in other Kingdoms
(especially if those Kingdoms are our Allies at Wars)...telephone
bills, equipment and gear costs for the Pageantry that the Populace
expects of Ansteorran Crowns...and so on...<br><br>The cost of becoming a
Crown can literally cost well over $10,000.00...and that is just a
little over $1,000.00 per month...sometimes it is a *lot* more...<br><br>Many
groups in Ansteorra have donated funds and taken up collections to
assist their Crowns and Crown Heirs...indeed, it is a practice
throughout the Known World...<br><br>And...what Noble or Peer of the
Realm is so base or mean to not offer up that to the Crown what is the
Crown's just due...? After all, we hold our Titles and Lands through
Their Sufferance...and I, for one, shall not stint...<br><br>Thus...50
golden hued Coins from the lands of distant America do I Promise to
donate...this Deed I Swear to fulfill on my Belt and Chain...or suffer
that Punishment given Justly to an Oathbreaker...<br><br>I am Sir Kief
av Kiersted, Baron Ravens Fort, Peer of Ansteorra, 21st Lion of
Ansteorra, and Bronze in Archaic Thunder...and I made this Oath.</span><br><br>-------------------------------------------------------<br><br><br><br>Wæs Þu Hæl in TroÞ and FriÞ...!
<br><br>Kief<br><br>"Better the Hammer than the nail..."

As for the use of baroies monies, there has been in the past the ability of a group to use SCA funds to offset the costs for someone coming in and teaching classes etc.(last I heard of this was long ago and I have never seen it done). Crowns in the past have accepted donations to provide the Ansteorran presence at pennsic. DONATIONS, not levies.<br>

Everyone who takes on an office or place of station knows that it will get more expensive to do things. When did the Barony start picking up personal costs for the B&B, the Royals or any of us for that matter to get to events? Please don't say, "well, we thought it would be a good thing"... I maintain that if we go in this direction, what's next? Will the Barony will be funding folks' way to Gulf War or Pennsic as an all-expense paid trip?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This may sound hard and terse, but I am curious as to when we began to pay for the mundane expenses of folks getting to events and who decided that? </div>

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"<br><br>Greetings to all, Their Stellar Highnesses have two food allergies we need<br>to remember when we cook for Nobles Luncheon or our feast. The two allergies<br>
are onions and shellfish. Please
remember this in your planning and cooking.<br> On another note, Lemoine and I offered to put them in a motel in<br>Hunstville. They will need a room for two nights with a double bed for them<br>and their entourage. We learned at Round Table that some groups offer this<br>
to traveling Royalty to help offset their costs. Pace and I have learned<br>very quickly how much it costs for us to travel to an event, use lots of<br>gasoline and eating, entrance fees etc. If you would be so inclined we would<br>
appreciate a donation to the cause of a motel room in Huntsville. We are<br>checking into nice but moderately priced places to see what type of cost we<br>are looking at. I will have a donation box at Populace for this. I know we<br>
offered this out of the kindness of our hearts but wouldn't mind a little<br>help from the Populace. Anything would be appreciated.<br> YIS, and excited,<br><font color="#888888"><br>-- <br>Pasquale and Giovanna<br>
