The Minneapolis Public Library is raising money by
selling the naming rights to chairs in the new
Central Library auditorium. See

Lois McMaster Bujold's chair has not been funded.

I do not want to be in charge of collecting the money, but I 
think we should be able to scare up fifty $10.00 pledges 
from this group. I for one do not need my name individually 
on the list of donors (they want groups to try to get 
minimum contributions of $50.00 so that no individual chair 
need have more than 10 names on it) and would be happy to be 
part of a chair funded by "The Lois McMaster Bujold Listies" 
or some such name.

If we can get fifty such pledges here, and if someone will 
agree to act as treasurer, just let me know where to send 
the check!
