Klondike, your post makes me optimistic. I didn't know that we had 200,000 OCC members! Also, I did not consider that paying local women would be less expensive than reimbursing travel expenses for a "free" volunteer from a distant location, but from your estimate of $200 to $600 per woman, it seems that it would be significantly less expensive to recruit local women.

If only one tenth of one percent of OCC contributed an average of $9 each, that would be $1800, enough for 3 women at $600 each. It is not unreasonable to hope that we could even raise more money than would be practical to spend on the Solstice Parade in one year. Perhaps any extra could be saved for the following year, or contributed to some other event, such as the WNBR in London.

I live in Florida, and unfortunately there are no public nudity events I know of here. I would still contribute to such a fund, even though I would not be able to attend an event in person. Has anybody had experience in raising money, or does anybody know how one would go about this?
