Funding the Rainbow Guide is a continuous,
ongoing process. I am sure we can all sympathize with putting together
a project that costs thousands of dollars for a group that never charges
for anything. Historically, the Guide has come up short on printing and
shipping costs and has left the Focalizers, that have already donated a
tremendous amount of time and effort, "holding the bag" or Guides
left sitting unshipped. Please
Family, make supporting the Rainbow Guide a prioity, as we desire to
create a publication and website of which we can be proud. The funds that
we generate set the range
for the resources that we can use. Give early, as
the time we spend trying to find financing takes away from creative efforts
we could use for making the Guide.
The Rainbow Guide is freely distributed,
but not freely printed.
Donations of $5.00 will help create a beautiful
Rainbow Guide for our family.
All contributions are confidential and
will be used in a respectful manner.
Peace

With the the 2005 West Virginia National
Gathering the process begins again -- our accounts are all emptied
delivering this year's edition to you. So we start anew collecting names,
graphics, photos, links and your contributions.
At this past US National Gathering we were, once
again, able to bring you a lovely new edition of the Guide -- this time 64 pages, with
16 in color,
more family profiles, hundreds of Rainbow Family web page links and, of course, lots
of photos. Thousands have been distributed already, and we have several hundred more left
for a few other lucky folks.
Here's the rub, this year's National Gathering
also represents the beginning for a new Rainbow Guide focalizer -- Butterfly Bill from
Oklahoma (farfallabill@isp.com).
So all of the coin that was donated towards the Guide ($473) goes to his new Guide family
to create
next years' version. And clearly the funds raised at the National Gathering are in no way sufficient
to produce this year's edition.
Your donations to this Guide help
pay for printing and postage. Please be generous!!
