A fussy little gnome woman walks into the tavern carrying with her a large stack of invitations bundled under one arm and a clipboard in her other hand. She plops down the bundle at the first available table she sees and starts passing out invitations indiscriminately to the patrons at the Brass Stash Inn & Tavern. The invitations read:
SAVE OUR BOOKS!
MAY 3, 228TH YEAR OF THE WHITE MOON - 3PM TIL LATE
BRASS STASH INN & TAVERN, RUBICON
A CHARITY DINNER TO RAISE MONEY FOR THE RUBICON LIBRARY
ENTERTAINMENT & MUSIC
GAMES
LIVE AUCTION
DRESS CODE: FORMAL
FOR MORE INFORMATION CONTACT THE RUBICON HISTORICAL SOCIETY
After passing out the invitations to everybody she can see in the room she draws herself up and stands upon a chair to be better seen by the room and starts her obviously rehearsed speech.
"Greetings, my name is Mary-Lou Gearspring as some of you may already know from our past encounters while I raised money for the Rubicon Library. Tonight, I come before you to encourage you to attend our charity dinner and to give generously to support our cause. Money raised from this event will go towards continuing renovation projects including the addition of an engineering shop and alchemy lab, the hiring of staff to maintain the collection, expansion of the collection, research projects, and the creation of community outreach programs. Of course, those who donate generously will be given special perks.
Pledge Five Silver or more- In addition to our appreciation, your name will appear on a special plaque hung in the library.
Pledge One Gold or more - A one year Library Membership which allows access to member only services and collections
Pledge Two Gold or more - An acknowledgment will be included in a future piece added to our collection thanking you for your generosity.
Pledge Five Gold or more - Creation of a research grant in the topic of your choosing with the findings added to our collection.
Pledge Ten Gold (Two Available) - The naming of either the engineering shop or alchemy lab and lifetime membership to the library.
Pledge Twenty Gold (One Available) - The naming of the Rubicon Library and lifetime membership to the library.
Membership with the Library will include access to our workplaces on a first come first serve basis, access to otherwise restricted collections, and a voice in the direction of the library and it's outreach to the community.
As for the evening itself, dinner will be provided as well as entertainment. We are currently looking for volunteers willing to share their talents through comedy, music, or any other sort of spectacle to step forward to help provide enjoyment with a show or act. There will also be card and board games and a hookah made available for those who take their enjoyment from those pursuits. We are also open to any suggestions you may have.
There will also be an auction during the evening with items donated to us from various sources (including the Sandyburrow Trading company). If you would like to donate to this auction please contact me and we will make arrangements. A full list of what will be auctioned off will be provided before the dinner when all items are accounted for and those interested in donating have had a chance to do so. Thank you for your attention. Please speak up if you have any questions or ideas."
And with that the little gnome steps down off her chair with a self pleased smile.
