And then, perhaps there are others who may be thinking of hosting a WOSonOS next year or in future years who want to see those last week and day communications that go out to our global and local participants.<br>
<br></div>Just to let you know that we were inspired by London, by Chile before that and by so many who have hosted in the past -- by their communications and their planning and we want to pay it forward as much as we can in the spirit of sharing and welcome.<br>

Marketplace</b> is where we set up some tables and sell to each other folk
crafts from our various countries, books about Open Space, things we or our
neighbors or friends have made -- poetry, jewelry, knitted items, scarves,
shawls, favorite rocks for use in Closing Circle – whatever we feel inspired to
pack into our suitcases and bring along. You can sell your items to raise
money for your own travel expenses, or you can donate some or all of that money
to the Access Queen project *. </font></span></div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

where we have tables with items on them with little cards next to them – you
write your name on a card plus an amount you are willing to pay for an item you
wish to purchase. Towards the end of the WOSonOS whoever has bid the
highest amount gets the fabulous item, and the money raised goes to the Access
Queen project. So you may wish to pack along some interesting piece of
folk art, fabric, food from your country, offer of services, book or other
lovely item to contribute to the auction. </font></span></div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

participants have announced dance lessons, hikes, massages, music making,
writing coaching – all as little ways to raise funds for the Access Queen project.
Maybe you, too have something to offer to teach and share with someone while at
the same time supporting the project and our Askers and ourselves with your
generosity, expertise and playfulness.</font></span></div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">

started at the 2001 WOSonOS as a way to help people wishing to join us at a
WOSonOS to be able to do so. These 'Askers' will have creatively raised most of
the money they need to attend but perhaps they just need a little extra support
or resources to make the difference. We have been helping many people behind
the scenes, including some of you, as you know. This action of caring for each
other creates many non-monetary resources such as shared housing (got an extra
bed to offer as a share?) and flexible registration fees - plus tiny funds such
as pocket money for some of our colleagues with low financial incomes so they
can afford a meal, a book or a bus ride with the rest of us during the
conference. Anything raised this year for the Access Queen project that is not
spent to assist current Askers remains in the project to assist next year’s
Askers, as we 'pay it forward'. Join us as we celebrate community and support
access, inclusion, diversity, and each other.</i></font></span></div><font color="#000000" face="Times New Roman" size="3">
