RESCU Foundation

[tomnaboley]

Melissa from Enchanted Chains is the RESCU Foundation rep for our Faire.
(Her booth is across from Axle's stage.)

I am helping her raise funds and accepting donations for the RESCU fund.
For those of you that do not know what RESCU is about::In easy terms:
It is basically a fund to give health insurance to "rennies."
The people that make their living out of working at faires.
They rely heavily on donations. If you can donate anything to this great cause, please see me or Melissa.
The GLMF Rally will have an Olympic games for you to participate in.
Many of the vendors have donated their wares to this cause.
Come out and have fun at the RESCU Rally.
(They hold rallies to help raise funds.)

Tuesday, August 5th show starts at 8:00pm, doors open at 7:15pm


This is a benefit for the RESCU Foundation, a not for profit dedicated to the health and medical well-being of Renaissance Festival participants. Many of the performers you know and love from festivals will perform for one night only at the Gorton Center in Lake Forest, IL, to raise money for the foundation. Moonie, The Swordsmen, The New Minstrel Revue, and Doktor Kaboom are among the lineup. This is a rare chance to see these performers let loose and improvise, instigate, and inspire each other to the highest level of humor. You won't know what to expect, except that it's original, exciting and well worth the time to see. Don't miss it.

Notes
No assigned seating. Refreshments will be served before the show and at intermission. Sorry, no alcohol.

This sounds great, but, prithee, do tell where this location is and any other details we may need for attending. Thanks!

Of course, I can stop by tomorrow and ask at the booth, yes??!! Thanks, I think I will!

From Thompson Square (Rt 528, to the west and parallel to Rt 534), head East on Thompson Rd. Richard's Campground is at the bottom of the hill, on the north (left) side.

From GLMF: Head north on Rt 534. Pass the first cross street. At the first side-only street, turn left onto Barrett. Take this past the S-curve, and Barrett becomes Thompson Rd. Richard's Campground will be on your right (north) side just before you get to a curve on a hill. If you pass it, go around Thompson Square at the top of the hill, and come back.



Dunno if I can make it yet or not... I've been waiting for Assassins to end before giving them money, but I might do so a bit early..

Thanks for directional help. Hank pm'd me with info., also, and I did stop at Enchanted Chains on Sunday, but I appreciate the thoughts/help. It sounds like a very worthy cause (which I'm always willing to help with) and a very good time (which, hey, I'm always willing to help with as well!!)

At the "Chains" booth it was described as a "Renn Field Day", and they'll be food and prizes. Couldn't ask for much more!!

There is another way to help RESCU. When you search on the 'net, use GoodSearch.com (it's from Yahoo) and choose "RESCU Foundation, of Fuquay-Varina, NC" as the beneficiary.

Rather than explaining it all, here's the link to the FAQ's and how all of it works!

Just got back from this a little while ago. It was a great day. I'll let those 'in the know' post info. on how things went, but I just wanted to say that we had a very nice day, and had a lot of fun!!

Hank, where the heck did you go?~!

[bunbun / Hank]

Well Mickey, I was doing a rescue mission of my own. one of the cast (the fishmonger) has a broken down car up there at the campground. and since he lives in Wellsville, Ohio it is going to be a long walk home for him if we can't get it running. So I went up to more try to help him then participate in the activities. I believe his fuel pump is the source of his problem, so he is suppose to get it towed to my place so I can replace it for him.

So! pretty much a typical day for me. HANK.

I had fun for the part I was able to make it to... Got there at a quarter after 6, and caught the end of the auction, the hanging out, and the music that played till dark. Ahhh...
