[ Board Announcement ]
The Imperial Sovereign Court of the Wild Rose is operated by The New Royalist Social Society of Northern Alberta.
The N.R.S.S.N.A. is a registered non-profit society incorporated in the Province of Alberta under The Societies Act of Alberta.
The mission of the N.R.S.S.N.A. is to raise funds, through activities by the Imperial Sovereign Court of the Wild Rose, for
charities and other organizations which either provide direct services to the gay community of Edmonton or which work to promote
an accepting attitude to gays and lesbians in the community as a whole.
The Society is governed by a Board of Directors elected at the Annual General Meeting, held at the end of September.
Cheer Up! The Children's Hospital and U of A AIDS Research!
Marni Gras is selling pom poms at various events in town and out of town. They are $5 a pair, and anyone that purchases a pair gets an automatic free entry into a draw for 2 "Gifts of Flight" that was donated by Westjet. They are two tickets for any regular scheduled flight for a total value of $2,200! Many thanks to Westjet for their generous sponsorship!
The draw will be held at the ISCWR's Miss Merry Christmas Pageant on December 13 at Boots. There is no purchase necessary for the raffle but the ISCWR does hope people will buy poms or make a donation.
If Marni raises $3,000 by August 17th, she will run the Edmonton Marathon in her Cheerleader uniform. All proceeds will go to her charities for the year: Edmonton and area children's hospital Neonatal Intensive Care Units (in memory of her son, Andrew) and the University of Alberta AIDS Research Center (in memory of our past Empress XXIX Sticky Vicky).
Edmonton's local television station Global Edmonton recently ran a story on her project. You can see the story at:
http://ca.youtube.com/watch?v=R0Eqvy5YFDc. You can also read about this in the
August edition of Gay Calgary and Edmonton Magazine.
The Cheerleading Company in Dallas, Texas is another major sponsor of her project and has donated hundreds of dollars in supplies and services
She has 2,000 poms to sell, so come and get them! Donations can be made directly at the Royal Alex Website (remember to select NICU for the cause and say "Cheer Up!" in the comments so that the money will go to this project and you will get a tax receipt!).

Established by Her Imperial Sovereign Majesty, Empress 8 and 17, Mary Mess to honor the memory of a
