Crowd-Funding
A team of two members of the Society in Toronto (Magdalini Agrafioti and Constantine Zygouris) and two in California (Kelly Ilnicki and Steve de Laet) have begun a crowd-funding project with Indiegogo. The results of their hard work are to be seen at: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/the-6th-revival-of-the-ancient-greek-nemean-games#/.
The purpose of this project is to raise the extra funds necessary to cover the expenses of the Sixth Nemead on June 10-12, 2016, and to spread the word and encourage new members to join the Society. Currently active members are asked to spread the word of the campaign to friends, but not necessarily to make contributions themselves if, by doing so, they would not continue their annual help. Our normal operating expenses still need their support.
As an extended part of this effort, the Society now has a Facebook site which provides another means of making our work available to a wider audience: https://www.facebook.com/The-Society-for-the-Revival-of-the-Nemean-Games-1896274657264988/timeline/.
