Hi Versailles Family,
We are thinking of presenting a gift to the actors/actresses again in Paris as a collective gift to them.
So one gift for each person in name of a part of the Versailles Family.
Otherwise they will collect so many gifts from everyone that they can hardly take them home.
We did the same for 2 times already and I think they were happy with the award (first year) and the bag with eatable local goodies (second year).
I saw these "comedy/tragedy" bookends that (I think) would be just perfect for them.
They cost $64,99 each, but I can currently buy them with 20% off. So that would be $312 without shipping costs.
I would love to have them shipped off to two persons who will come to the convention and who live in the US.
If I have them delivered at mine (Belgium), I would most certainly have to pay customs on them and that is wasted money. And would be less shipping costs. So I would be looking for 2 volunteers to bring 3 each to the convention.
I plan to ask the persons who would contribute to send in a little text that I would make a collection of and stick to the bottom of the base of the bookends. So you would have to lift and turn them a bit to see it. As a reminder to the actors/actresses that they know who it came from.
These are my ideas...
I would start a fundraiser so that you all can see how much came in. I was thinking of asking each person to donate $10 or $15.
Sadly these fundraisers sites ask commissions and we would loose some money on it. If we have money left, we will donate it to a charity that we will all decide together.
The fundraiser page is here : https://www.gofundme.com/f/one-actor-one-present-mami3
Please don't give too much details about the gift on social media because we don't want the actors/actresses to know what is coming.
So let me hear your ideas and if you would like to join in!

Super excited to be a part of this!!
Hi Edwinne, that link you gave doesn't work for me. I found the site under this address: https://www.gofundme.com/f/one-actor-one-present-mami3
So the 6 bookends are bought and being send to Darcy, Marlene and Mary. Thank you ladies for wanting to bring them to Paris.
If I would have them send to me in Belgium, we would have to pay extra for postage and customs.
All together is was 291.39€ but I know that we will loose some money by using that GoFundMe page. :( That is why I set the amount to 350€.
Trust me that all what we gather that is over 291.39€ will be send to a good cause. I will send proof of that!
Thanks Loriana.
I have ordered the bookends today and I will start the GoFundMe page after Xmas
I really like your idea Edwinne! Count me in!
Thanks Debbie. I have one more day to work and then I will work on all this!
Won’t be there but would love to contribute. Thanks for organizing this!
Thanks Kate,
When more is decided, will spread the news! thanks!
Sadly, I can’t come to the convention, but will be happy to contribute towards the gifts. Let me know the details when you've worked them out👏🏼
Thank you, Darcy!
