You know you're gonna see these things here, too . . .

In keeping with the tradition of new and exciting ways to raise money for the Royal Travel Fund, we’d like to announce the “By Our Own Hands” exhibition and silent auction, which will be held at the Marketplace at Birka, Jan. 30, in Manchester, NH.

Synopsis: All residents of the kingdom are invited to use their arts & sciences skills to create something to be raffled off to benefit the Royal Travel Fund. These can be items you have already made, something you might make between now and then or promissory notes for items such as scrolls or clothing you will make at a future date. (If you are offering a promissory, it would be great if you could include a picture of something similar you have done). Bards are encouraged to donate promissories for songs, poems or similar works.

In all cases, we would like the item to have an information sheet, with some documentation about it and its creator.

I think we can really have some fun with this.

Please contact me privately at liamstliam@gmail.com ,  if you would like to donate, and let me know the logistics as well.

Feel free to forward this judiciously, especially to A&S communities.

In service,

Master Liam St. Liam
East Kingdom Travel Fund Guy

Allowed to be of the alcoholic nature? Or does it have to be something like "I made this box out of period cardboard and I'm throwing in these full bottles at the last second?"

Excellent question.

I will pursue.

Sounds like an EXCELLENT idea, and much fun! Too bad my to-do list is so darned long already!

When do we need to let you know by?

[liamstliam.livejournal.com]

Jan. 15.

But don't over do! ;)

There is not a regular travel fund auction at Birka, right? Just 12th Night?

[alysten.livejournal.com]

We are still trying to figure out if we are doing Birka. ;)

[liamstliam.livejournal.com]

Birka is a Royal Travel Fund auction.

12th Night is a Royal Travel Fund cookie sale.

Ah! This is most helpful, as it will prevent my sending a travel fund item to the wrong event. ;)

[artisticphoenix.livejournal.com]

I will definitely think about this.

[liamstliam.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

That would be very cool.

The offer for a custom-written filk or poem is still open. If you like, I can re-write you a blurb.
