Help us move to Oregon!
We live in one of the most expensive parts of the USA (just
north of New York City) and really need to move someplace cheaper,
now that Arthur is safely off to Goucher
College. We've been focusing our hopes on Ashland,
Oregon for a few years now. Ashland is a small town just
north of the California border near the coast and is home to
the Oregon Shakespeare
Festival, which runs ten months out of every year. So the
whole town is filled with actors, musicians, writers, poets,
and other creative folks, while having a large and steady influx
of tourists. It's also Druid Central for the West Coast (hi guys!)
with several different Druid groups in residence. Just the place
for a couple of Pagan Elders to spend their later years!
The fact that the cost of living is about a third lower
than what we're paying now means that our meager income will
stretch much further. There's a branch of Phaedra's store
just thirty miles up the Interstate in Medford (a city that also
has an international airport, so we can quickly and cheaply get
there to fly off to gigs). Isaac hopes to open a tea and tarot
parlor where he can write and teach when he's not giving readings.
We estimate that the cost to move ourselves, our cats,
and literally a ton of books, will be at least $10,000. We have
set up a separate savings account into which all donations for
this purpose will be segregated from our day-to-day income and
expenses. Anyone who would like to help us out can donate using
either of the graphics to the right and left of these words.
As with our general support fund, you can also send money to
us at PO Box 1010, Nyack, NY, USA 10960-8010.
