Council of Sanctuary,
Enclosed is my first effort to draw up a proposal for my dream of providing a badly needed service to the people of Sanctuary.
The Shelter (tentatively named)
I. PURPOSE ..1. To provide free lodging and assistance for newly arrived ..... persons to Sanctuary in order to help make the ..... psychologically difficult transition from slavery to freedom.
..2. To serve as a medical center, both short and long term. ..... a. provide free healing services to the injured ..... b. diagnose and treat both physical and mental illnesses ..... c. first responder in case of disease and plague of the ..... infectious variety, such as the Moanderite Event. ..... d. develop surgical techniques to counteract the insidious ..... planting of foreign devices in persons by Illithids. ..3. To act as a teaching and research facility to assist the ..... development of both mundane and divine healers, and to ..... pool their resources and skills for the betterment of all.
* This will be a polytheistic environment, but the open worship and teachings of faiths that result in the suffering of others is prohibited. This will be subject to the discretion of the ranking staff member present.
II. STAFFING ..1. Volunteer only positions, at least initially.
..2. No restriction towards race, profession or affiliation.
..3. Many positions of varying skills will be actively recruited and ..... appointed by existing staff. ..... a. psychologists ..... b. herbalists ..... c. potion brewers ..... d. wand crafters ..... e. divine healers ..... f. primary caregivers ..... g. administrators
*The Shelter will reserve the right to deny appointment after completion of an interview.*
III. CLIENTELE ..1. All newly arrived persons and citizens of Sanctuary will be ..... provided services free of charge.
..2. Those with a criminal record, guests, unidentified persons or ..... other potentially dangerous individuals will only be given ..... care with a member of the Watch present in the room.
..3. Free healing services will be provided to all members of the ..... Watch, Council and all civil servants upon request within the ..... walls of Sanctuary
..4. Any items of a healing nature will be provided at cost to the ..... individuals listed above in Section III, #3.
IV. FACILITIES ..1. Initial location proposal is the former Society Chapterhouse, ..... as per suggestion of Councilor Varlam Nikitovitch.
..2. Priority will be on short and long term medical care, and ..... providing assistance for recent immigrants.
..3. Tentative plans to work with the new staff of the Beacon to ..... to provide services to the destitute in Lower. Specifically, ..... talks with the Ilmateri priest, Lucius Westmore are ongoing ..... concerning this future endeavor.
V. FUNDING ..1. The Shelter will be a non-profit organization. All donations ..... will go directly into the budget towards upkeep, basic ..... services and supplies as well as needed improvements.
..2. There will be no salaried positions.
..3. The Shelter requests that the Council will assist in helping ..... to defray the initial startup costs, pending approval of this ..... proposal and an estimate provided.
..4. The Shelter requests a small budget from the Council to ..... ensure that basic services will be permanantly provided.
..5. Donations from both public and private sources will be ..... actively solicitated and accepted.
..6. Various fund-raisers will be created, organized and ..... executed by the staff. All proceeds from these efforts, and ..... donations that create a fiscal surplus will be refunded to ..... the Council budget. VI. RATIONALE ..1. The Shelter is a philanthropic entity designed to provide the ..... basic needs for those suffering from physical or mental ..... maladies.
..2. The Shelter will attempt to help ease the transition of those ..... subjected to the cruelties of slavery and rehabilitate their ..... tortured minds in order that they become productive ..... citizens, rather than succumbing to crime, violence and ..... madness - thus decreasing the strain on our City Watch.
..3. The Shelter will be the leading agent working toward the ..... prevention and cure of the various illnessess and diseases ..... that any large massing of peoples invariably invites.
..4. The Shelter will work with those organizations empowered ..... by Law to serve the citizens and protect their welfare.

This is probably a poor first attempt, as I am no legal scholar. But if you have any suggestions, I'd welcome them!
