July Althing!

Seeing how our first weekend is 4th of July weekend, we're bumping Westmarch business to to the 2nd weekend, July 9th/10th.

From TR, with 6 out of 17 voting eligible members reporting:

1. Generator Purchase
Aye - 6

2. Shall Westmarch contribute $24 to Amtgard International
Aye - 6

NOTE While last week was a national holiday, on the 10th TR had more travelers then stay home members due to WMTS, Quest at AuS, and the invasion Jugging game with BP also at AuS.
Also noted was the question as to why the Monarch and PM didn't just pay the $24, why vote if this is a 1 time $ amount and under the monthly draw for either officer.

That was a possibility I floated; Primarily the monarchy's allowance is for running of Westmarch; Amtgard International doesn't fall under that purview. Also, (paraphrasing) Fiks had interesting comments that putting to althing opens transparency and in a way give a sense of ownership of Amtgard International to everyone.

"Does this count for running of OUR Kingdom? Not really. But it's a no brainer Althing item to me. Vote yes and contribute to maintaining the Dream." "Having an Althing lends a formality and a sense of adherence to the spirit of empowerment that having Althings in the first place is supposed to provide. By having an Althing to support the continuance of Amtgard, Inc.'s restructuring, we're given a voice to support them and a chance to participate directly in the future of the Dream at a game-wide level. That's a bitchin' opportunity in my opinion."

Sometimes my thoughts come out nice.
