<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> My impression of the point of
Constance's post was that it was to let Kazi know that there already is liquid
available, which might affect the amount she could expect to make for her
cause. This is also important information for Kazi to factor into her
purchasing and whether this endeavor is worth her valuable time and effort,
especially if there are other projects being considered. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Having a choice is always nice,
and I commend both Kazi for being enterprising in this cause and Constance for
being so attentive and caring for the fighters.</FONT></DIV>

size=2>I<SPAN class=019090517-17092005>, personally like Kazi's idea and I
think it's worth trying. Especially, since it sounds like people can get
specific single serving drinks that they want. At practise, people often
drive down to get specific drinks or bring their own.

<DIV><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2><SPAN class=019090517-17092005><FONT
face=Arial color=#0000ff>The point of doing the drinks is to help those
Scadian families that we know have been effected. Recently, I've heard a
number of horror stories about red cross, not helping some families or about
what percentage of donations go to their overhead. I'm not telling
anyone not to donate to red cross, I just know I would much rather see money
and gift cards given thru our SCA channels, since we are paying our own costs
(no over head charges), so all of the donated money gets to those that need
it. We can ensure this gets directly to those that have lost
everything.. or almost everything. I know I would be happy to pay for a
drink at practice, especially for such a good
cause.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

successful or shows good potential (which it already has, IMO), I would like
to share this with our other groups. They need money and/or gift cards
really bad now.. so whatever We can do to help that, would be
great.</FONT></SPAN></FONT></FONT></DIV>

<DIV>As Chirurgeon I have been providing a large cooler provided by
the Barony with cold drink in it (flavor depends on what I can get) for the
last month or two free of charge as part of my duties as chirurgeon. I
want to keep my fighter friends well hydrated without worry.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I support the effort to help the hurricane victims. However I'll
still be providing drinks at Fighter/Fencing practice free of charge. I
don't want to seem anti fundraising help, but perhaps individuals
wishing to help financialy might want to donate dirrectly to the Red
Cross.</DIV>
