The Universal Theory of Shronedom

I was thinking about this entity of Shronedom that has been created by the wonderful group of women I know. I have pondered if every woman I get to know will eventually be recognized and named as being a Shrone? Could it be that all women are Shrones at heart?

If like attracts like, which seems to be the case with Shrones, then it would stand to reason that everybody knows everybody, kind of like that old Breck shampoo commercial about telling two friends, and so on, and so on, and so on...

It also occurred to me by something that Jessi had said in her Shrone Award acceptance speech: "I'm A Shrone!!!!! Ye-ah ba-by!!!! I'm flattered and honored and happy as hell :) And it is so perfect we will all meet in Ireland one day because I have always wanted to go there, for as long as I can remember."

Yes, it would be grand to have our first annual Shrone convention in the little hamlet of Shrone, Ireland! My mind wonders how to make that possible, and then it hit me: FUNDRAISING! How else could we ever hope to save enough money to go when we have yarn needs, family needs, and Shrone needs?

I've done small-time fundraising and hate it. There is nothing great or fun about trying to get donations out of people, and Shronedom isn't going to be a worthy cause, unless...unless we make it one! But, how can we turn Shronedom into a worthy cause, like those Red Hat ladies?

What we really need is a winning lottery ticket!

Meanwhile, I'll be scratching my head trying to think of how someday we can make this dream come true of descending on the town of Shrone!
