Twelfth Night 2008 -- Guild Silent Auction

The Guild's Silent Auction was a great success! The Guild had a prime location by the entryway to the feast hall, and our tables were overflowing with 24 items for auction. The Guild made a total of $600 to fund future guild activities and service projects. Photos of some of the auction items can still be enjoyed on the following page.

Kingdom Silent Auction

As the Guild continues to serve our kingdom, we will be collaborating to help raise funds to procure a 52+ ft trailer which will be kept on the Pennsic site to store all of West Kingdom's Pennsic regalia. The Kingdom has offered to pay the yearly storage fee if enough funds can be raised by the populace to purchase the trailer. The coordinator for this fundraising effort, Viscountess Ysabella Dolfin, plans to host a fundraising auction at June Crown of 2008.

To assist in this fundraising effort, the Guild's 2008 service project will be to have volunteers make selected items to be donated to this auction. The materials, embroidery techniques, choice of design, size and length will be left to each needleworker. The deadline for completion of these items is Beltane (this coming May).

You can reach the coordinator for this project, Isela di Bari, at dcobb@mail.meyernet.com.
