> Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2009 17:12:03 -0400<br>
> From: ken koll <kenkoll8974@hotmail.com><br>

> <br>
> Greetings and salutations unto the Known World.<br>
> I am Lord Valdis of <st1:place w:st="on">Gotland</st1:place>, coordinator
of the Pennsic Memorial Runestone.<br>
> I would like to take a quick minute to describe our project and let you <br>
> know how you can make a contribution financially or physically.<br>
> This is a community project, in the sense that the community of Pennsic <br>
> 38, you will be carving the stone with the assistance of some carvers <br>
> who will be on hand. The stone is approximately 9 tons and will stand <br>
> over 7 feet tall when erected. The wording is as follows, '<br>
> <br>
> The People of the Folk-Assembly (Society) raised this stone in order to <br>
> give honor to those who have walked these fields and fallen. We will <br>
> meet again.' Written and translated into runes by Magistra Fiana of <br>
> Clare. The artwork will includes viking elements of war and passage <br>
> into an afterlife. There will be no religious references or personal <br>
> names on the stone as it honors all who have walked with us. Each day <br>
> for 4 hours we will have the runestone available for anyone to carve <br>
> upon the stone. The artwork will be laid out already and tools will be <br>
> provided as well as instruction with practice stones available for you <br>
> to become comfortable with carving before moving to the main stone.<br>
> <br>
> For those groups that wish to carve together whether in memory of <br>
> someone or socially, we will block off time for groups of 10 or more. <br>
> Whether you want to carve the stone in memory of someone or simply to <br>
> have the opportunity to carve a period style stone with period tools, <br>
> you are welcome.<br>
> <br>
> Now, financials...unfortunately these types of projects cost money. For <br>
> the tools, insurance, stone and delivery of the stone we need to raise <br>
> around $6000 (six thousand dollars) in a short amount of time. For <br>
> those individuals that donate a hundred dollars or more we will have a <br>
> pendant in the shape of the runestone in bronze casted by Crafty Celts, <br>
> for those individuals that donate two hundred dollars we will have the <br>
> same pendant in silver, again casted by Crafty Celts. While six <br>
> thousand dollars seems like alot to raise in less than two months it is <br>
> less than a hundred individuals who feel moved to help sponsor this <br>
> worthy cause. Any donation in any amount is needed and appreciated.<br>
> <br>
> Donations made be made at PayPal using our email address of <br>
> pennsicrunestone@hotmail.com <mailto:pennsicrunestone@hotmail.com>
or <br>
> you may go to www.pennsicrunestone.com <br>
> <http://www.pennsicrunestone.com/> and link PayPal from there. <br>
> <br>
> I will be posting more to the Pennsic runestone website as we move <br>
> forward. The site is designed as a blog so we may discuss different <br>
> elements of the runestone but more importantly I want to hear stories of <br>
> our members who have passed and why you are inspired to donate or help <br>
> carve with your hands...remember you do not have to donate to carve on <br>
> the stone although your financial support is appreciated.<br>
> <br>
> Please help spread the word of this project by forwarding to SCA list <br>
> and friends so that we may reach our goal quickly and have the stone <br>
> delivered and honor those scadians who are no longer with us.<br>
