>> Hello all
>>
>> The other day I had lunch with Brendan McKeague and Andrew Rixon to discuss
>> the future of the Open Space Institute in Australia. I'm sure many of you
>> are aware that Brian Bainbridge WAS the Open Space Institute in Oz and we'd
>> like to honour his contribution by continuing the OSI.
>>
>> Also at lunch was Brian's friend and executor of his will, John Grace. I
>> asked John if he thought Brian's parish had any idea what he did when he
>> wasn't there. Not surprisingly, he answered 'no'. He also told us the story
>> of how the locals who were short of cash and wanted a hand-out from the
>> church would wait till the office staff had gone home and would knock on
>> Brian's door - even very late at night. No-one ever went away empty handed.
>> So I think Brian would be chuffed to know that there's a scholarship in his
>> name to enable someone to attend this year's World Open Space on Open Space
>> in Berlin, someone who wouldn't be able to otherwise.
>>
>> This scholarship is being coordinated this year by the US Open Space
>> Institute as their way of honouring Brian, and Lisa Heft (aka The Access
>> Queen) has kindly taken on this task of coordinating the funds. There is a
>> candidate from Chile to receive the extra support who would not otherwise be
>> able to attend.  I think Brian would be happy with this as he always wanted
>> to spread the understanding and use of open space far and wide.
>>
>> Some of you may wish to individually contribute to the Fr. Brian Bainbridge
>> Memorial Fund for the 2010 WOSONOS.  Please make your own individual
>> contributions as appropriate. The details of how to do so are explained
>> below.
>>
>> At our Fringe WOSonOS in Melbourne on May 11 we will talk about an
>> Australasian Scholarship for future WOSonOS events. And most exciting for me
>> (personally) at this Fringe WOSonOS will be that we'll have access to
>> Brian's beloved shalalee for our talking stick. Yay! Stay tuned for photos.

>>
>> Thank you for your thoughtful contributions to the Brian Bainbridge memorial

>> This is a collection of funds with the intention of helping someone attend

>> 2010.
>>
>> These funds will be handled through the Access Queen project (Lisa Heft) who
>> has worked with each year's WOSonOS "Askers" - people of lesser financial
>> abilities who wish to join their colleagues at a WOSonOS - and each year's
>> Host Team since the Access Queen project's inception in 2001.
>>
>> For any funds given to the project specifically in memory of Brian this
>> year, Lisa is working with Open Space Institute Australia's Viv McWaters to
>> inform who may be (a) likely recipient(s).
>>
>> Please note that the WOSonOS is fast approaching so if you are thinking of
>> contributing you may wish to do so very soon.
