More info as always on the web at www.folleterre.org!
Since we last reported to you on May 19, things have moved very rapidly. There are many updates below, the most important of which we will repeat several times. In less than two weeks faeries will own Sanctuary in Europe.
This update is an URGENT call to gather, circle, step up, speak out, donate, and contribute. We are in love with the land, and we are tired. A lot of love and hard, hard work has gone into what has happened since we first came to you on March 21st with reports that we had found Sanctuary. We need your ACTIVE support and participation NOW!!!
LEGAL STRUCTURE AND PURCHASE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Les Amis de Folleterre and Tax Status
Since our last update, we have answered all of the major questions about the legal structure to purchase the land. The association Les Amis de Folleterre (Friends of Folleterre) is registered with the local government and is now able to complete the land purchase. The association is applying to become approved with a special status in France because of its “general interest” which will mean contributions will not be subject to tax. While we wait for that approval, we are able to receive contributions either as membership fees (monthly gifts) or as <<apports>>, a structure we can only use for one-time gifts until July 21st. We are grateful to our expert advisors for helping us to get to this point.
The association at its start consisted only of founding members Beebalm, Ceelestia, and Innocentia (AKA Dietrish, Trish-Trash, etc.—this one will have a big bill if we implement a name-change fee!). We have since added Junis as a Member and Steward and all donors of more than 10 EUR to now will be added shortly as Members. Please see the Folleterre site if you want to become a Member or Steward.
Financing
We have signed papers for a loan of not more than 100,000 EUR with the banker Mr. Cardot, as well as papers for insuring the house and the founding members of the association (required by the bank). We have completed the transfer of our 50,000 EUR deposit to the French account for Folleterre. Beginning 5 July 2005 we will have monthly bills for the loan payment, insurance, taxes, and telephone totaling approximately 850 EUR. We currently have pledges covering 300 EUR per month, meaning we cannot pay the bills. We urgently need anyone who can contribute at least 25 EUR a month to do so now.
If you can make a monthly pledge please do so immediately at www.folleterre.org/give.htm.
Ownership
On 21 June at 11:00 a.m. in Lure, France, Innocentia will sign the final papers purchasing the Sanctuary on behalf of the association Les Amis de Folleterre and the EuroFaeries. We will own this land in less than two weeks. At the same time, Innocentia has agreed to purchase an additional parcel of land just behind the house and hold it until the Sanctuary can purchase it back.
COMMUNITY AND EVENTS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We CALL TO CIRCLE any and all faeries who wish to have a say in creating sacred faerie Sanctuary space. What this means is that anyone interested in participating in decision-making for the Sanctuary can now pledge to become a member of the Folleterre Circle (officially, our Board of Directors) as a Steward.
Circle information will be found at www.folleterre.org/circle.htm or via email at circle@folleterre.org.
A reminder again that we have set the following as dates for summer work week(end)s and gatherettes on the land:
1. Work Weekend at Folleterre
June 24-26
2. TXI: Folleterre Great Circle (General Assembly)
July 22/23/24
3. Work Week(end) at Folleterre
July 25-31
4. Work Week(end) at Folleterre
August 15-21
5. Opening Gathering and Blessing of the Land
September 15-18 (Moon is FULL on 9/18)
More information on these gatherings as well as contact for each can be found at www.folleterre.org/gather.htm.
FUNDRAISING
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
MONTHLY PLEDGES: €300 of €1000 (30%) CASH GIFTS: €2400 of €100000 (2%)
The figures above have changed little and we are just a tad concerned. We do need additional donors to step forward now.
We also need about an additional €100000 for the purchase of the additional parcels as well as to develop what we have. We have recently learned that one of the parcels was sold already, so we will have to act fast to ensure that the land surrounding us remains faerie space. We have €2000 of that amount raised.
Please visit the site at www.folleterre.org/give.htm and make your gift or monthly pledge now. Without sufficient pledges and income, we will default on the purchase of the property. On the site you will also find the Call for Gifts which you can send to friends and faerie lovers around the world.
