[Ponte Alto] Support for an indoor site from a non-fighter

[Lady Courtney de Houghton]

Greetings Barony,

I echo Countess Denise's sentiments in that I would
love an opportunity to have a place to come and bring
my son so we could support Connor as he practiced and
sharpened his skills.  Due to many of the same reasons
Her Excellency lists below, we too don't have time to
do much of what we would like during the week, and a
Sunday place to gather in comfort, while Connor get
get back into a fighting groove can only be a "good
thing".

To that end, I would pledge $100 a month to support
this endeavour, and would be happy to hand a $300
check to Millicent the next time I see her at one of
our lunches.  

I hope this, and other donations (both committed and
already received), will help the Financial Committee
agree to this effort as expeditiously as possible so
that the opportunity won't be lost.

Thank you,

Lady Courtney
