BLBOD approves DW Kingdom Packet - 2008/03/23 20:23
Enough of our folks have heard the exciting news that I thought I should make a few posts in case anyone is speculating on the rumor mill.
Thursday we heard from Kurse that the Desert Winds Kingdom Packet had been approved and that we were "all set" for the vote at Clan by the COM.
He also said he'd be drafting a letter to Amtgard on Friday with the official news etc. We haven't seen that yet but he is a very busy boy, and I seem to remember there being a couple events going on down in that neck of the woods this weekend.
I'd personally like to thank Kurse and the BLBOD for weeding through our packet, attendance, corpora etc. That much paperwork is never a fun thing to do especially for volunteers who don't have a personal stake in it.
In Kurse’s own words "I'd suggest you start selling yourselves across the lists starting in the next few days, so that all of the kingdoms know for certain that ya'll are ready. "
That is what we intend to do. At the same time we don't want to flood all your inboxes with spam so we will be utilizing our Marketing committee to let the kingdoms know.
We look forward to Clan this year, we have a goal of bringing at least 50 of our players all the way down for the event. So far we have over half of that number confirmed with about 10-12 more just waiting for their vacation to be approved or $$ concerns to be met. To this end we've been fundraising to help offset the cost of transportation to the event and have over $1300 raised as of last night. We will continue to raise funds for this effort with multiple fundraisers planned in the near future including the huge auction at Salt War in May. (Come to Salt War if you really want to meet and see what the DW is really all about, www.saltwar.com, before the vote at Clan!)
Again if anyone has any questions about the Desert Winds or our BLBOD approved packet please feel free to comment here, send me a personal email, PM etc.
Our Bid Packet can be found at: http://www.theriversendarchieves.com/Files/Road%20to%20Kingdom/DW%20Kingdom%20Bid%20Packet.htm
Thank you Amtgard (and the IM especially for it's guidance all these years)
