CAGrayWolf Memorial & Family Support Fund

Posted on by | 4 Comments

Wolfie put huge amounts of time, energy and spirit into planning this year’s Mysterium. We’d be dishonoring him if we didn’t find a way to celebrate that spirit in some way.

On Sunday, we will be holding a non-denominational memorial for Wolfie, with a visual presentation, and time for people to speak. We will also have a memory book available for people to write in, that will be sent to his family.

In addition, we are passing the hat for a Wolfie Family Support Fund. This fund will have two priorities: first, clearly, to help alleviate the finance burden of funeral expenses.

The second priority is to support the Guild of Greeters in carrying on one of Wolfie’s projects, which was sponsoring a wolf of the Sawtooth Wolf Pack in Idaho. Funds beyond what the family accepts for expenses will be given to the GoG for this purpose

If you have pictures of CAGrayWolf you’d like to share, please send them to info@mysterium.net

To contribute to the fund, please use the mysteriumpaypal@gmail.com address, and include “memorial fund” in the notes. Or, you can contribute directly to the Guild of Greeters

Thank you all so much,

The Mysterium Committee

ROOMMATES
Looking for someone to share a hotel room with? We now have a roommate matching system to help you find others who are looking to share a hotel room and split expenses to help make you trip more affordable and stress free. Visit our roomshare page HERE

PRESENTATIONS:
We are trying something new this year for Presentations, by offering three different formats for groups & individuals to share their works with the community:

Display- Table space for displaying artwork, crafts or other creative efforts.

Small Group- For a small class, panel or smaller presentation.

Performance or Presentation- For larger presentation to all Mysterium attendees

Further details about each option, presentation rules and requirements, and registration, are available now on our Presentations Page HERE

PAPER PEOPLE
Once again, we invite those D’niverse fans who can’t join us in the flesh to join us on paper. Please send your picture in jpg format, with an 8×10 print size, to paperpeople@mysterium.net

EVENTS
Have we got some fun stuff planned for this year! Visit our Events Page for a preview!

PRIZES & MATERIALS
One of the things that makes Mysterium great is the amount of community involvement, and one way you can be involved – even if you aren’t able to attend Mysterium – is through the donation of prizes or materials.

If you create items that are directly related to the D’niverse (like Journey Cloths, or linking book replicas), or are thematically similar (like journals, or art of Age-like locations), we’d like to invite you to donate an item or two for prizes at Mysterium. In the past Mysterium has awarded prize winners journals, decorated cones, Journey Hand necklaces and more. Unique prizes are an inspiration to everyone!

If you have materials you think might be useful to us, like button blanks, or printer paper, we may be willing to find a use for them!

TRANSPORTATION
Jet Blue has several specials to Boston right now, check them out!
We recommend that attendees NOT use American Airlines if at all possible, given their new $15 fee for a standard checked bag.
Manchester Ariport (MHT) is less than 50miles from the hotel, and there is a free shuttle that goes from the airport to the regional transit center near the hotel. Booking a flight to that airport may be cheaper!

Hello MystBlogs!

Completely unofficial bit of news here; just a notice that Mysterium’s website is now syndicated on MystBlogs, so you’ll get any news, announcements, or other PR as it happens.

On that note, we’ve got a lot coming down the pike really soon, so stay tuned. We’re not dead (yet)!

Vaaht’s Resignation

Due to personal conflicts, I have chosen to leave the Mysterium Committee. I wish Mysterium all the best, and I hope it turns out as well as the new committee has intended it to be since forming ourselves together last summer.
