> Issue number one.  A little over 6 months ago, my wife, The Countess
Astrith
> passed on from difficulties of Cancer.  A mere 3 weeks ago another friend
> fell from the same evil disease.  A few months ago I stopped into the
> American Cancer Society to find out what I can do to help.  They told me
of

I

> Oldenfeld, and Sea March, and Darkwater, and Bentonshire ...  get the
> point?).  The ACS is the NUMBER ONE contributor of money to cancer
research
> and has funded over 20 Nobel Peace prize scientists in the research of

> I am not going to be asking for handouts.  What I will be asking for is
for
> you to remember not only those around you who have fallen (Relatives,
> friends), but to help out those who are stricken now with this deadly
> killer.  This brings me to Issue #2.
>
> At Crown Lyst, I will have a Viking dress that belongs to Countess
Astrith,
> complete with jewelry to give away in a chance drawing.  The dress will be
> on display at my father's merchant booth and tickets can be purchased from
> him for $1.00 each or 7 for $5.00.  There will be a drawing either at the
> beginning of feast or after on the porch of the feast hall.

> 100% of the donated funds will be given to the American Cancer Society as
a
> fund raiser that our team is doing in the relay.
>
> Also, at Gulf Wars, there will be an Elizabethan dress, also owned by
> Countess Astrith.  Those tickets will be $5.00 each.  I also challenge
EVERY
> FIGHTER AT GULF WARS TO FIGHT ME FOR A DONATION OF $1.00 EACH FIGHT.  Yes
> you can fight as much as you wish (for $1.00 each fight).  Don't worry
about
> lines, for I have many seconds who will step up to fight.  You don't fight
> heavy you say?  I have a second in the light weapons area ( a couple
> actually).  You do Combat Archery?  I'll let you shoot at me (from 10
> paces).  You don't fight at all?  Good, get your champion, or anyone and
let
> them fight me.  You don't want to fight me at all?  That's ok too, we will
> accept your donation at any time.
>
> There will also be a board at both the event and the War with the name of
> those who have fallen to remember them on one half, and the other half for
> those fighting to honor them.

> This is not for us, this is for those who we love.

> More to come later....  I am almost late for work.
