Lots more discussion. In the past traditionally, the Barony as given to the Kingdom travel fund as a specific area we wanted to support the Kingdom. This had been done by reign. The amount had varied depending how the group was doing but was usually between $200 and $500. The original suggestion was to tithe 10% (roughly $900). But there is questions about spending that much at once. Most people seem to be OK with a split amount, like $500 during this reign and another tithing next reign. Another question is to approve the full, but split amount now, or approve the $500 now and then during the next reign go thru another approval process for the next travel fund tithing? Doing another approval later does give the flexibility to see where the group is financially at that time as well. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;color:windowtext'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='color:windowtext'>12<sup>th</sup> Night Event and Feast budget – </span></b><span style='color:windowtext'>Spending up to $2500 for the 12<sup>th</sup> Night event.
