> I am Lord Valdis of Gotland, coordinator of the Pennsic Memorial
Runestone.
> I would like to take a quick minute to describe our project and let
you 
> know how you can make a contribution financially or physically.
> This is a community project, in the sense that the community of
Pennsic 
> 38, you will be carving the stone with the assistance of some carvers 
> who will be on hand. The stone is approximately 9 tons and will stand 
> over 7 feet tall when erected. The wording is as follows, '
> 
> The People of the Folk-Assembly (Society) raised this stone in order
to 
> give honor to those who have walked these fields and fallen. We will 
> meet again.' Written and translated into runes by Magistra Fiana of 
> Clare. The artwork will includes viking elements of war and passage 
> into an afterlife. There will be no religious references or personal 
> names on the stone as it honors all who have walked with us. Each day 
> for 4 hours we will have the runestone available for anyone to carve 
> upon the stone. The artwork will be laid out already and tools will be

> provided as well as instruction with practice stones available for you

> to become comfortable with carving before moving to the main stone.
> 
> For those groups that wish to carve together whether in memory of 
> someone or socially, we will block off time for groups of 10 or more. 
> Whether you want to carve the stone in memory of someone or simply to 
> have the opportunity to carve a period style stone with period tools, 
> you are welcome.
> 
> Now, financials...unfortunately these types of projects cost money.
For 
> the tools, insurance, stone and delivery of the stone we need to raise

> around $6000 (six thousand dollars) in a short amount of time. For 
> those individuals that donate a hundred dollars or more we will have a

> pendant in the shape of the runestone in bronze casted by Crafty
Celts, 
> for those individuals that donate two hundred dollars we will have the

> same pendant in silver, again casted by Crafty Celts. While six 
> thousand dollars seems like alot to raise in less than two months it
is 
> less than a hundred individuals who feel moved to help sponsor this 
> worthy cause. Any donation in any amount is needed and appreciated.
> 
> Donations made be made at PayPal using our email address of 
> pennsicrunestone at hotmail.com <mailto:pennsicrunestone at hotmail.com> or 
> you may go to www.pennsicrunestone.com 
> <http://www.pennsicrunestone.com/> and link PayPal from there. 
> 
> I will be posting more to the Pennsic runestone website as we move 
> forward. The site is designed as a blog so we may discuss different 
> elements of the runestone but more importantly I want to hear stories
of 
> our members who have passed and why you are inspired to donate or help

> carve with your hands...remember you do not have to donate to carve on

> the stone although your financial support is appreciated.
> 
> Please help spread the word of this project by forwarding to SCA list 
> and friends so that we may reach our goal quickly and have the stone 
> delivered and honor those scadians who are no longer with us.
