[Steppes] crazy idea and slightly off-topic

[jack spinks]

Well- it would appear that Katya rose to  Saqra's challenge and really hit a nerve that everyone can unite behind.   May I suggest that the Demo coordinator, Baronness and Seneshal start working to find a suitable group that we can walk with following Gulf War?  
 
And start publicizing same.  Seems to me that by walking in garb we can make the walk organizers aware of our intentions and possibly thereby garner them additional publicity for their walk as well.  
 
Your Excellency- perhaps you might even challenge your cousins in Elfsea to participate?

My dear friend Donna is losing her battle with cancer right now in Baylor hospital. You can count on my support in her name, honor, and memory. I might be able to get some of my old friends to get in garb and come out to walk as well. It's the least I can do. I'm very sad that due to my recent illness I have been unable to see her one last time (they won't let me near her for risk of infection). 

Thank you Katya for thinking of this way for us to serve our community in a cause that is so important.

Susanna

In accordance with Saqra's challenge, an idea hit me today that I thought that I would throw out to the group and see what kind of interest I can stir up.

The American Cancer Society along with several cities sponsor Relay for Life.  It is a celebration of survivors and a chance to remember those lost to cancer.  It is a fundraiser for the ACS but also a chance for people to get together and spend the night sharing their memories and hopes for the future.

I was wondering if the Barony would be interested in getting a team together....  Garland has their relay the first weekend of June.  Other cities hold theirs at other times.  I know that Plano has one as well as McKinney.  Each team member would be required to raise about $35 (I think that's the min) and of course there is no max.  The event starts about 7pm and ends at 7am.  The event is held at a track and the team is required to have at least 1 member walking at all times.  There is entertainment throughout the evening.  I thought that it would be really cool for our team to dress in garb to promote the SCA too.

Anyway, let me know what you think.  If we can get a group of about 10 folks together, we'll see about getting this rolling.

Katya
