The Middle Takes Care of It's Own

Benefit Bake Sale and Silent Auction the day of Kingdom A&S
Benefit Concert in the Evening following A&S Activities.
Donations to both are welcome.
middlecaresforitsown@gmail.com

organized by Master Llewllyn

It has come to my attention recently that a good friend and valued member of the Kingdom has begun the long struggle with HIV. Consequently, their recent hospitalization, and ensuing time off of work, has left them deeply in debt. They are very proud and cannot bring themselves to ask for help.
Friends should never have to ask for help so I, and a few others, have created several fund raisers to be held during Kingdom Arts and Sciences and the evening after during Crown Weekend.

First, there will be a bake sale for which donations are gladly accepted.

Secondly, there will be a benefit concert the evening of Kingdom A and S that will feature the finest performers of the Kingdom. Donations will also be gladly accepted.

Finally, and this is where you come in, we need donations of items and services for a silent auction. This could be something as simple as a mug or as complex as a service to be delivered at Pennsic. I myself am donating three spaghetti dinners for ten complete with dessert to be delivered at Pennsic.

If you are willing to donate, please send me a private email at middlecaresforitsown@gmail.com. Your note should include a description, a minimum price and a BUY IT NOW price. We will also post descriptions online so they can be purchased by those not attending.

Again, my friends, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Llew
