nowhere to store such a contraption. I could transport one to events though,
provided they fit on my roof rack. I also like the idea of having a few of them
scattered throughout the principality. That way the closest one could come to
the event at which it was needed. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV></DIV>Apparently bribes of chocolate work well. Although bribing
myself was interesting. But tasty.
<DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>We also should have the approval of the rest of the financial committee
(Their Highnesses and our Principality Exchequer).</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>If that is forthcoming, and everyone wants one or more
of these purchased, I can do that. I have a credit card
and I know how to use it.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>However,
things to consider before anything is purchased:</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to store it/them?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Who is going to transport it/them?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>I can buy it and bring it to Investiture, but could
anyone bring it home? I could bring it back to the mainland, but where will it
go?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Do we buy more than one and have one in the interior, one in the lower
mainland, and one on the Island?</DIV>
<DIV>(Which returns us to...who is going to store them and transport
them?)</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Discuss. :-)</DIV>

style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; FONT-SIZE: 11.5pt">At AT War, THUA had several
sunshades which I thought was a great idea. If UTR decides to follow THUA’s
example, I think that might be an item for which we might consider
fundraising. But we don’t HAVE to (Tir Righ didn’t make the Heralds go
fundraise when they wanted money for consulting books. In fact, we upped
what they asked for.)<O:P></O:P></SPAN></DIV></DIV></BLOCKQUOTE></DIV><BR>
<DIV>On that note, my sister mentioned to me not 15 minutes ago that Canadian
Tire had portable garages on sale (10 x 20). They were called "waterproof
canopies" or something like that. White cover.</DIV>

additional $59.99</DIV>
