I’m hoping that happens before the business meeting next Monday (the 13<sup>th</sup>) where we can talk in detail there. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Also keep in mind that each group is paying a percentage of their overall funds, so it is equitable. If one group only has $100 and the second group of $1000, the first group is only paying $18 dollars while the other is paying $180 dollars. So both groups are equally paying their share. Now I also acknowledge that the group with only $100 (or $82 afterwards) may now be in a position where some things like covering up front event costs may be harder to cover, but I’m not sure how anyone donating more $ to Kingdom or Corporate would help this. Again, once we have more information we can talk more in detail afterwards.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>In the meantime, planning a "Dunk a Former-Landed-Baron-named-Gregoire Tank" should go forward regardless.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>-Finn<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Seneschal<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> barony-bounces@cynnabar.org [mailto:barony-bounces@cynnabar.org] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Anne Stevenson<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, February 06, 2012 5:15 PM<br><b>To:</b> Jeffrey Sean Huo<br><b>Cc:</b> barony@cynnabar.org<br><b>Subject:</b> Re: [Cynnabar] Contributing to the Barony's SCA Lawsuit Payout<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal>At the current moment we are waiting to hear back from the Kingdom Seneschal as to what our next step will be.
