Hello, dear Colleagues - Thanks, Gerard, for you exciting update message from Swenmark!
My next message will be a re-posting of an earlier Access Queen message to remind you of all the ideas to spark your asking and your offering so more folks can get to Swenmark this August. However. - - - - - - - - - - - - Breaking News - - - - - - - - - - - - 1 Access Queen announces the AQ Fund is growing: I have a small fund for offering some travelers of lower financial abilities some pocket money at the Open Space on Open Space this August. Our dear Alan Stewart sold his books at last year's OSonOS and raised $111 US for the AQ Fund. I'd like to announce that another member of the OSLIST just donated an additional $30 to the fund! She says: "Here is a small donation for the Access Queen's Fund. The work that you all do through OST is so exciting. I am glad that I can be a part in some way. Equally, I am grateful that I am able to help someone else join in the festivities." Do YOU have some / any amount of money you would like to donate to travelers to OSonOS who for whom the expenses are challenging? I welcome all donations of any amount. - - - - - - - - - - - - 2 Access Queen reminds you that you have until June 23 to send a proposal for partial funding (such as travel money) to the Open Space Institute of the USA. More information on how you might write that proposal in my next posting. - - - - - - - - - - - - 3 You don't know until you ask. Nobody will know your dream until you name it. Set the intention to join us in Swenmark and then follow the steps to make it happen, including asking your community (OSLIST and otherwise) to help you. - - - - - - - - - - - - 4 Please share with me other resources you wish to offer "Askers" - I'll remind you of some of those ways you can help in my next posting. - - - - - - - - - - - - *Access Queen was dreamed up at the 9th OSonOS in Vancouver as a way to share news of who has and who needs resources to get to our annual global gatherings so that people of lower financial abilities and from faraway countries may attend. I volunteered to take this role which Laurel Doersam later named Access Queen. Last year our sharing of dreams and resources got *six* people to our gathering in Melbourne, including our esteemed colleagues from India and Haiti. - - - - - - - - - - - - Take care, Lisa L i s a H e f t Consultant, facilitator, educator O p e n i n g S p a c e 2325 Oregon Berkeley, California 94705-1106 USA (+01) 510 548-8449 [email protected] (coming soon: www.openingspace.net) * * ========================================================== [email protected] ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of [email protected], Visit: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html
