Incredible music and comedy is the entree of the evening, with an ample smorgasbord of variety to top the night.

RESCU reports over $1 Million in Medical Bill Reductions

The RESCU Foundation has now been assisting those with medical need from the festival community for six years. We are proud to announce that during our annual meeting in August, we elected our new board. These dedicated volunteers offer their expertise so that RESCU can continue to excel by upholding high standards and goals.

* As of Thanksgiving 2009

The 2009-2010 Board of Directors are as follows:

Carol Black, Chris Major, Gayle French, Danielle DuPont, Brande Watson, Phil Johnson, Melissa Starks, Erin Iversen, Lynda McCann, and Donna Morris

Lynda McCann comes to us from years of service in the nonprofit sector; Erin Iversen brings the next generation viewpoint to our foundation; and Donna Morris offers hands on fund raising experience. We welcome them to our cause.

RESCU’s goals include expanding our preventative and awareness programs, utilizing committees to complete tasks, recognizing our growth and the need for paid staff, and continuing the successful disbursement and advocacy programs.

Since our inception, we have disbursed over $350,000.00 worth of medical aid, and the 2 year old Advocacy Program has negotiated over $1,000,000.00 (yes, one million dollars) off of medical bills.

We will continue to serve those in medical need with financial assistance and advocacy in a confidential and professional manner. None of this could be achieved without your support, and we thank you so much for allowing us to continue our mission.

Sincerely,

Carol Black
President, RESCU Foundation

PS: It is with great regret to say that since our annual meeting our treasurer, Lynn Brantley, has had to step down for medical reasons. We have acquired a bookkeeper to do the daily finances and check writing, but we are in need of finding the perfect person for this executive position. If you have the interest and ability to join us for our monthly conference call, please contact us for an interview.

The Motley Players Three "Blue Show" will be held the evening of May 16th at the Crown Stage of the Scarborough Renaissance Festival.

Please join them and their special guest, Doktor Kaboom! All proceeds will be donated to the RESCU Foundation.

The Motley Players Three is an improvisational comedy act that will raise money by offering water balloons to throw at the performers during the show; our equivalent of tomatoes but less messy. This will be the 4th year doing this benefit. It is a "Blue Show" because, after hours, they can do and say those things that are restrained from during the faire day. All workers, crafters and entertainers are invited to stop by and throw some balloons for RESCU.
