Weekly Update 14
Preparing To Hold 6000 SP! Off To A Good Start!
Week 14 was a good week as we managed to get our delegations for SP filled on the market this week as we plan on holding the 6000 threshold even as our longer term leases are now going to start to expire. For instance, this upcoming week we have about 350 SP set to roll off, but we have already gotten ahead a bit as we hit 6200 already thanks to these new leases. It will be a balancing act now in hopes that we can continue to grow faster than our old leases expire. But so far so good, and we are off to a good headstart!
On the new delegation front we were quiet this week as no new "free delegations" came in. However on the upvote side we did get some nice upvotes and in particular @fulltimegeek returned with his big upvote! Thank you very much @fulltimegeek!!! This will definitely help us this week to continue to stay ahead of the curve and we should actually pick up more "net" SP as we put those payouts (along with the new donations) to work. This week we maintained our vote values of roughly $0.25 per post per steward, and that is with a small drop in steem (steem apprears to have leveled off the last few days)!
During the week we received 7 additional donations (8 if you count @bashadow donating 2 different times), as the donation front picked up! We had 2 new SOG donors, @marxrab generously donated 5 sbds and @orcheva donated 2.086 steem. Plus we had repeat donations from @enrique89 for $0.50 sbds, @lynncoyle1 for 2 sbds, @four20 for $1 sbd (she has a huge heart, but needs to stop giving so much away) and @bashadow (2 times for a total of 2 sbds!), and the final one was from repeat SOG member @abh12345 of 1.5 steem. While it was a slow week on the delegation front, the donations picked up. Its absolutely amazing how the delegations/donations/upvotes seems to be working out from week to week and someone is always picking up the slack! I love to see both new and repeat donations, from SOG members and non-SOG members; and I want to thank everyone very much for supporting this project and helping show our support for @fulltimegeek and his stewards!

This Weeks Payment On Posts Today (~$20 sbd)
Tonight we will receive the 14th weekly payout since the launch of this program. The payout will be $20 sbd, and it, along with any donations will be used to initiate new leases if the rates stay so favorable. The goal will be to add more new 13 week leases to replace the expiring 13 week leases each week that come due!
We have successfully built up and stabilized our account, and now we should provide a steady and growing upvote if we continue to get your support. The goal is to give the SOG members a real benefit and with your continued efforts to support us, we will continue to build the SP and curation trail.

Thank you all for your generous support!
As mentioned earlier these new donations and earnings of sbd from posts will be reinvested to grow the SP so that the SOG members get a bigger hit to their upvote. We have now started lengthening the leases from 13 to 20 weeks depending on market opportunities.
What you can do if you want to support this project to help @fulltimegeek and his #stewardsofgondor
#1 You can follow what we are doing and tell your followers and friends through various methods
#2 You can upvote our posts to increase the amount of earnings we have to lease more SP
#3 You can follow our curation trail (84th place already) on steemauto and have your upvote show moral support (even 2 or 3% is something that matters because it all adds up)
#4 You can donate directly like the wonderful people above
#5 You can delegate any of your own SP for any period of time that suits you while this Quest is ongoing
#6 Last but not least, you can thank the individual "friends" that are supporting this effort directly. Sometimes just a stop by and a small note saying you appreciate their help will make a big difference to a donor's day!
If you can't do any of the other 5 and you support what we are doing, then #6 is a very very effective way to help us. It encourage them to spread the word and rewards their efforts with "respect"
