Forum:SH:Celebration 6 Internet Costs and Fundraiser

As you know, Wookieepedia will be represented at Celebration VI in Orlando, Florida, August 23-26. But, we are doing so on very limited resources this year. We need YOU to help us make this Celebration a good one!

What Our Costs Are
Right now, in order to have access to the Internet so that visitors to booth 351 can use the site, we are looking at paying US$300 for all four days. Without access to the site during the convention, the booth would be meaningless, as we are an online entity. This cost is rather high, and time is now of the essence. We need your help!

What We Need
If you are willing and able to donate toward the Internet costs, we would greatly appreciate it. Any little bit will help. Right now, our PayPal is set up through our booth coordinator,, through jcgoble@gmail.com. Any and all money will go directly toward the Internet costs and only the Internet costs. Further questions on this can be directed toward Master Jonathon's talk page.

Why Haven't We Done this Sooner?
Long story short, we were under the impression that we would be getting outside help for this. Evidently, that is not the case, so we need to cover the costs on our own. There are only four volunteers who will be attending this year, and of those volunteers as of this writing, three are confirmed to be there. Two are working from shoestring budgets and cannot afford the costs alone. As time is of the essence, this has become a call to arms for those who are willing and able to contribute to our booth costs. If you are unable to attend Celebration VI, but you wish to be able to help out, this is your chance. Any donations at all, large or small, will help.

Go ahead, complain about how last minute this is, but remember to be civil.  Trak Nar  Ramble on 05:35, August 16, 2012 (UTC)
