    THANK YOU FUND SWEEPSTAKES AT BRONYCON

    Our new mascot, Charity, told us she wanted to give some stuff away, so we're going to hold a sweepstakes at BronyCon. We're still putting together the list of goodies you can win, but we'll definitely have a bunch of the limited edition Enterplay trading card mats. No purchase/donation necessary, just drop by the Brony Thank You Fund booth (#224) and register. Of course, if you want to donate a couple of bucks while you're there, who are we to say no.

    If you want to donate merchandise to add to the sweepstakes prize pool, please drop us a line at [email protected].

    FRIENDS OF THE FUND RECEPTION AT BRONYCON

    This spring, we launched our Friends of the Fund program, where our most generous donors get exclusive access to special opportunities. At BronyCon, our Friends will get their first treat, an exclusive reception on Friday night, with special guest Amy Keating Rogers. If you are interested in becoming a Friend of the Fund, you can join the club for as little as $250 in total donations. Check out http://www.bronythankyoufund.org/?q=node/45 for more details.

    ANIMATION SCHOLARSHIP CROSSES 50% MARK

    After a very successful weekend at Everfree Northwest, the Derpy Hooves CalArts Animation Scholarship has crossed the 50% mark. However, that still leaves $25,000 to raise. We're still hoping to present the big check to CalArts at Equestria LA next spring, so we need all the help we can get. If you haven't donated lately, now would be a great time to do it! Remember that all donations are now tax deductible, and please check with your employer to see if they match donations. Several very large high tech companies are already matching donations to the Fund.

    HELP WANTED: FUND TREASURER

    The Fund is looking for someone with bookkeeping experience to become the fund treasurer. The workload is very light, currently about 2-3 hours a month, with a bit more at tax time. If you're interested, drop us a note at [email protected].
