[OSList] Access Queen invites you to share resources to help others

[Lisa Heft]

Hello, all -

Think of how bringing colleagues together in a face-to-face event  
shifts our thinking.
Reflect on how learning - and community - deepen in Open Space as  
amazing individuals host and attend conversations that enrich their  
work for others.
You know this feeling because you have attended a WOSonOS or OSonOS or  
have held space for clients, communities and organizations.

Now imagine a few Open Space colleagues acting on their dream to  
connect with community at the WOSonOS this October.
Perhaps you have registered and we will see you there.
Perhaps we will see you another year as the WOSonOS moves to another  
part of the world.

Now think of a story that many of us have in our cultures - in my  
culture we call it 'Stone Soup'.
It is about the magic of community - the magic of each person adding a  
little bit of what they have to a pot of bubbling water - to, as a  
community, create a rich and nutritious stew.

Whether you are joining us or not at this year's WOSonOS - do you have  
a carrot or onions or precious salt to share?
You will be helping some very special colleagues you may not even know  
- but in whom you believe.
Access Queen believes in some incredible people who just need a little  
extra for pocket money or housing to join us at the WOSonOS.

20 (currency of your choice), 200, 2000 - know that every bit goes to  
Access Queen Askers. What is not spent this year goes into the stew  
pot for next year's Askers.

Perhaps this money is 5 or 10% of your fee from a few of your recent  
facilitation jobs.

Perhaps it comes from selling your art or books, having a Global  
Village Marketplace at your next trainings and events, having a yard  
sale, teaching dance, making a good meal and having your friends pay  
for it for charity, or many other creative ways.

Two onions, four carrots, a sprinkle of salt - everything makes a  
difference.

Here is how you can contribute:

1) If you are thinking of registering for WOSonOS but have not done so  
yet: do so now.
Your registration gives the Host Team resources to help them welcome  
everyone regardless of financial ability.  If you have already  
registered you can also contact them to add in a little more. http://www.wosonos2012.com

2) Other ways to contribute toward these amazing OS Askers:

- Log on to your account or create an account at PayPal (http://www.paypal.com 
) and 'send money' to lisaheft at openingspace.net
(know that sending as 'Personal' / 'Gift' incurs zero processing fee -  
and please put a note about Access Queen in the notes section)

- Send me a US-bank check (contact me for a postal address and  
information about what to write on the check).

- If you are a US citizen and would like a tax deduction for a  
charitable contribution - you can pay through the Open Space Institute  
US via PayPal. OSI-US is a 501(c)3 organization. PayPal and / or your  
credit card company will take a small processing fee out of the amount  
- however the OSI-US will take zero administration fees for this  
assist (thank you, OSI-US!).
For donations through OSI-US for Access Queen: please do not donate by  
check as this creates administrative time on their side and we want to  
keep them task-free in thanks for their generous assistance.

Most of all - many thanks for the belief you have in others, the  
passion you have for our learning community across the world, and the  
generosity you show by sharing what you have.
A deep bow to you all (with one hand on my tiara so it does not fall  
off my very big hairdo)...
