Rose and Bay Awards Update

[ysabetwordsmith.livejournal.com]

I'm currently in the process of assembling the certificates for winners of the Rose and Bay Awards.  So far, I've printed out blank certificates for xjenavivex to fill out (Poetry and Patron) and filled out the one for Other Project.  Those were mailed earlier today.  I'm still waiting for mailing addresses from the winners of the Art and Fiction categories, so that I can print those certificates.

Meanwhile, my partner has told me that the out-of-pocket expenses for the paper and postage are more than our household budget can handle. 

Certificate paper = $6.71
Postage to date = $2.44
Postage needed for Art & Fiction certificates = $2.44
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Total = $11.59

[EDIT: $5 donation leaves $6.59.
$1 donation leaves $5.59.
$6 donation -- FULLY FUNDED! Thank you!]

If folks could chip in to cover that, it would be greatly appreciated.  I've got a PayPal button on my LJ profile page; if you contribute something, please mark it "Rose & Bay expenses" so I'll know what it's for.  Thank you!

There will be more time to plan for next year's award season, and hopefully we'll have better luck with fundraising then.  A couple of folks have already expressed interest in contributing something then, so that has promise.
