Hello, dear colleagues – As many of you know, the Access Queen fund is a small pool of money that dear OSLISTers contribute to each year to help lower-income colleagues get to each year’s Open Space on Open Space. My role as Access Queen is to collect that money and help connect peoples’ needs to peoples’ resources. My deepest thanks to all of you who have generously contributed for this year’s fund. I have one “Asker” who is hoping to find assistance just for accommodation at OSonOS (approximately 2430 SEK / $300 USD / €264 – he has covered his other expenses), another Asker who hopes to find financial support for both accommodation and registration fees (approximately 2950 SEK / $365 USD / €320 – she has found assistance with travel funding), a third Asker who is hoping for financial assistance to cover registration fees only (approximately 2210 SEK / $273 USD / €240), and a fourth Asker who is hoping for any nonspecific amount of funding which will help to offset her expenses. My little Access Queen Fund cannot cover all of these requests, and I do not know if there will be any additional last-minute requests for financial assistance for some of our travelers for pocket money or other expenses (those of you who travel from a good many countries know how just the cost of one taxi or one lunch in town can be way above your abilities). Here is where I would like to ask for your help: ** Would you like to buy an accommodation, a registration, or an accommodation plus registration for one of these Askers? ** **Would you like to contribute a smaller amount of money to the Access Queen Fund to help get them closer to their goal?** **Hey, why limit myself? Would you like to contribute a LARGER amount of money to the Access Queen Fund to help these folks get to OSonOS this year?** (anything not spent this year goes to next year’s Access Queen Fund for OSonOS in Goa, India) These amazing Askers have had the courage and faith to set their intention, make their plans, raise other monies to come to OSonOS, and ask their community (us) for support. They have jumped into the unknown – can we catch them in our outstretched arms? Let me know if you can help by contacting me directly at [email protected] Many thanks from Access Queen herself, 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]
