    Unto the People of Atlantia.
 Greetings to you from Sir Master Brand deux Leons and Mistress Cymbric of
the Isles from the Kingdom of An Tir.

Over the past 6 years at An Tir's 12th Night Coronation, the Chivalry of our
Kingdom has sponsored an auction to benefit various worthy causes.  This
year An Tir established a relationship with an internationally respected
charity: The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS).  There are some in the SCA
who are all too familiar with the fact that Leukemia/Lymphoma is the number
one killer of children and yet also strikes 10-times as many adults.  Funds
raised for LLS go directly to patient-support services and research for a
cure.  Our goal was not only to support an extraordinarily worthy cause in
memoriam for many (too many) of our own members who have succumbed to
blood-related cancers, but to enhance the public reputation of our Society
as well.

Towards this end, An Tir raised ~$5,000.00.  To continue the momentum of
this good work, we have expanded our goal and now seek to have the SCA
become a Gold Sponsor for _two_ seasons of the Leukemia and Lymphoma
Society's "Team in Training" (TnT)* fund-raising events in this region.   We
are asking all the Kingdoms of the Knowne World to join An Tir in this
effort.  With just $300.00 - $500.00 from each Kingdom added to the $5,
000.00 An Tir has already raised, we could easily achieve the
$10,000.00required to qualify the SCA as a Gold Sponsor for two
seasons.


In addition to helping a very worthy cause, the SCA gains good publicity
from this effort, including the Society's Name and Arms on ~200,000
Brochures, as well as on all the regional Team Jerseys and T-Shirts and the
LLS Website.  The SCA Corporate Offices will receive letters of thanks from
LLS that can be shown by any branch of the SCA when negotiating with event
site owners.  Letters such as these can go a long way in demonstrating that
the Society is a responsible and concerned, community-involved,
organization.

In order for the Gold Sponsorship to happen, we ask that you join us by the
end of January.  A few dollars from many can see this goal met and go far in
promoting the SCA's modern reputation.

Please feel free to contact me for details – or for information on how to
donate on line, see below under the double asterisk **.

Our thanks for your time, attention and support.
Ever In Service,
Sir Brand deux Leons, KSCA, MPel (mka G.Robin Smith),
