What is a sponsor and how do I become one?
A sponsor is simply someone who has donated a monetary value to the
group. That's great but what is the donations used for?
They are used in number of ways:
1) To help get rid of unwanted advertisement from our sites. Which
will allow us to place links and ads onto our sites.
2) To help fun for gatherings, such as celebrating the seasons and
having weekend retreats.
3) To help our land fund.
The Land fund is a savings account that we try to feed so that we
may be able to purchase land and develop it into vision.
Wait Land fund? vision? Could you explain this?
Certainly The Land fund is to help us get property. Our vision is
to build a community not to be mistaken for commune a community
where pagans and wiccans and other groups can come to. The Vision
is simply a place where we can build cabins, start gardens, have a
huge bon fire area, and even a main hall. The Main hall or building
is to be used as a School where we can teach all aspects of
religions.
Wait you said cabins? Yes the cabins will be for those who chose to
live on the property year round. They can stay to help keep the
property up help out in community living if they wish it.
Sounds like a commune? whats the difference? Its not a commune its
simply a community where those who would like there families to be
in a safe like minded place. They people there would not give
anything up, we would never ask for people to give up the things
they thrive on or need or want. We will never ask anyone to hand
over property that's not right. The cabins are basically homes that
will have: Running water, electricity, phone, internet extra. A
front and back yard mind you it might not be much but then again we
will have lots of land where all can share a yard and back
yard.
So how will this place pay for taxes and utilities?
Well we are working on those we have sun several ideas and the most
feasible ones so far are these:
1) Grow fruits and veggies as well as making wines. Sell some of
the harvests at local markets.
2) Have a semi annual fair a small gate charge as well as let
members sale there wears a small booth price extra.
3) Have some live stalk such as sheep and chickens sell the wool
and eggs.
4) Have a few empty retreat like cabins available for those who
want to come on a weekend retreat.
So your saying is that it's "We don't know yet"? Yes since its
still just an idea we are not sure what to do or how to use it
properly. There were a few ideas about having a ren fair or
something similar.
You said I didn't have to give up my life? Yes you don't you can
keep your job, keep your cars, keep your furniture, any property
that is yours. we will help provide a place for you if you wish to
act upon the offer. All we ask for those staying on the property is
to help out in some way. Might be as simple as watering a few
plants, to whatever you feel you can do to help out. May it be
keeping an watchful eye on the young ones. The gates will be opened
for you to come and go as you please. by no means will anyone be
locked in or held against there wishes we are not a cult! Freedom
to live and be around like minded people is our goal.
