[MR] FW: Gulf Wars.org: Volunteer hours for earnings for Kingdom?

[ldmolly at md.metrocast.net]

This is something that I've seen work very well in other areas. Estrella
war does it and so does Potrero. It's another great option for fundraising
and a great opportunity for a group to pull together. I'd love to see this
option available at more Atlantian events (or maybe Pennsic?). Any idea on
how to do it?
