Soup Kitchen Progress
-
Brother Aelthas,
Can you provide a character reference of myself and the Sisterhood of the Crimson Gloves to Senator Rath Ashald and Lord Oswald Morgenthau, senior member of the Seafarer's Guild and Lord Chadwick Whyte also of the Guild? The Guild owns the Bottleneck Apartments and Lord Morgenthau owns a stall we wish to rent.
The long term vision I am looking at is the Temple Complex and new Selûnite orphanage behind City Hall, a Crimson Glove Peltarch Chapterhouse (halfway house and shelter for women, dining area) out of the Bottleneck apartments, and the soup kitchen… all in a line. Perhaps it will start to be considered something of a Charity Row?
If this would in anyway compromise you or your duties I of course understand if you cannot provide such a reference. If there is a problem please seek me out to discuss this matter further if you so wish.

Master Troff,
Words cannot adequately express our gratitude for the generosity the Legion has shown us in this endeavor.
May Selûne watch over you and the Legionnaires as they fight to keep the peace. I hope once the new orphanage is running the Legion will send recruiters by to meet with and offer training to those older children who wish to pursue such a line of work some day. I do not know if you take on smith apprentices but perhaps you might find the occasional future artisan among us to learn your craft as well.
May the Moonmaiden look down upon you with grace for all your days.
And please, if you need anything please do not hesitate to ask.
P.S. ~ Do you happen to know either the Guildmaster of the Fisherman's Union, Lord Oswald Morgenthau (who is also a senior member of the Seafarer's Guild)? or Lord Chadwick Whyte of the Seafarers Guild?
If you, or any Guild members in good standing do would you mind putting in a good word for us with them? We currently are in talks to lease their premises for the soup kitchen and shelter.In deepest gratitude,
Shade of Selûne & Little Sister of The Crimson Gloves

:A Legion runner leaves a message that Maythor Troff has placed an oder with the crafters union for tables,chairs,and lumber for fencing and tent polls.: The man delivers boxes full of tin bowls and plates to the workers at the soup kitchen. {complements of Master Troff}

Marie and Reriana deliver two hundred and twenty five pounds of salted venison for use in the soup kitchen, smiling as they do.
That should see us through a month and a bit more.

Guildmaster Morgenthau,
Greetings & Salutations,
I write to you with a proposal on improving life and security along Mariado's Road.
Please allow me to explain the vision and potential I see for the district. You may or may not know the Selunite Faith has been given permission by the city to begin construction of a temple complex behind City Hall. Its purpose is to breed tolerance and understanding among the different faiths as well as elevate hopes and ease suffering. If all goes according to plan the outside grounds will have a shrine to the goodly nature gods at its entrance and an open-air temple to the Moon Goddess Selune. Inside will be shrines to Tymora, Lathander, Mystra and most relevant to the district, Valkur. The upper level will consist of clerical study and meditation chambers and an orphanage run by the Sisters of Selune, as well as a school. The children will enter the clergy of their choice or can be apprenticed out to the Fisherman's Union. I have written Silverymoon and asked them to send some Swords of the Lady to help watch over the neighborhood.
Besides being a devout to Selune I am also a little sister of the Crimson Gloves. The organization’s charter has many goals that are followed by my church. Working together we would like to lease your stall on Mariado's Road. If Lord Whyte also agrees to the proposal we will rent some of the ground floor suites of the Bottleneck Apartments as well.
We would like to open a soup kitchen. Our goal is to take in the women and children who are on the streets and to give back to the community. By providing food we will improve the quality of life, lower crime, and by helping to offset costs those on the streets can afford a roof over their heads. We will improve the health of the district and the dockworkers and deck hands will be more productive. We would also like to broker a deal with the Fisherman's Union to purchase the leftover catch of each day.
Finally, we will also arrest the vermin and undead problem coming up from the sewers as well as help defend from outside threats such as the lizardfolk that recently attacked.
If you require character references I can contact the Defenders, Legion, Divine Shield, and a few Senators.
I look forward to discussing this matter with you further.
May the Moonmaiden Watch Over and Guide you.

Lord Chadwick Whyte,
Greetings & Salutations,
The Sisterhood of the Crimson Gloves would like to rent one, or perhaps both suites that are currently available in the Bottleneck Apartments, depending on the price. We wish to provide shelter to women and bake bread on the premises to hand out to those in need. As this location is across the street from the new temple complex that will soon begin construction behind City Hall it is perfect for our needs.
If you require character references I can contact the Defenders, Legion, Divine Shield, and a few Senators.
I look forward to discussing this matter with you further.
May the Moonmaiden Watch Over and Guide you.

Dear Sir,
Rather then see food go to waste, I would like to come to an ongoing arrangement with you to get all your leftover fish on a regular basis that might be in danger of spoiling. This food will go to the continued opperation of a soup kitchen we are trying to establish in the Docks District. Please let me know what you consider a fair offer.
Thank you for your time.

To Whom it may concern,
The Sisterhood of the Crimson Gloves is interested in buying (or leasing if that is the only option) the stall and lockbox on Mariado's Road near the Bait and Tackle shop in the Dock's District, across from Warehouse #2.
We would also like to acquire one or both of the central suites of the Bottleneck Alley Apartments on the corner of Istishia Way & Mariado's Road.
Could you please let us know what the proper license and procedures are to accomplish this?
Thank you for your time.

_Marie can also be seen (when she's not out with one of her other jobs) working in the kitchen. Cooking, cleaning, talking with the visitors, and generally doing whatever she can to help, she's a near constant presence during lunch and dinner.
She also offers pointers to the women and children who come through regarding self defence, and plays games like hide and seek with the kids who seem to hang around all day.
All in all, she seems like she's enjoying herself._

Elijah, during his off time from being a Defender, is seen helping out at the Soup Kitchen. While he seems to prefer doing his handout rounds on his own, he occasionally comes into the kitchen to help the sisters out.

A wagon is seen entering the City escorted by several legion members and Master Maythor Troff where soon after they unload a brand new large cookpot made of Nickel with a think copper layered into the bottom and several boxes of forks knives spoons and other cookwear needed for the soup kitchen along with a donation of 3000 gold to get things going. They unpack and help set things up and then depart. ( Gold and ingots given to a dm)
