This past weekend my lord and I attended Blackstone Raids. This Blackstone had unprecidented high heat, and there were many..Many injuries and dehydration issues. I'd like to put out a special thank you to a few people who stepped up to assist me on the sidelines of battle when the injuries and heat issues came rolling in. Sarab bint Alima for waterbearing above and beyond the call of duty, Tadhg Sotal O'N?ill for his wisdom in putting up the sunshade so the injured had some shade, Barb Rooker for her waterbearing and, Anlaith for taking off her helm, waterbearing and going back in to fight. There was also a new gentle who's name I did not get who kept refilling the water containers, which were a good hike away, my Lord for even mid battle treating injuries, and for EVERYONE that picked up a water jug and passed it around or assisted someone in need.

Wow, that was a close call at Blackstone. I thought for sure that we were caught. No matter now, I believe that they are looking in the wrong direction.? We must continue to be careful. Tell your men to keep silent in the night. I am not sure how much longer I can convince the people of that stupid shire that nothing is amiss. Just think, soon we will have their Sylver Apple and all that goes with it. AEthelmearc will never know what happened. ?The distraction from Pennsic War and the cleaning of the lands will keep them all busy. The time, Septemeber 25-27 2009, is right, for who would expect an attack that soon. It will be easy to walk in and take what is ours by right. You will soon see how easy it is to defeat the weak armies of AEthelmearc. Take care and stay on guard we can not afford another incident like we had at Blackstone.

With the economy becoming tighter, funds more scarce and prices going up all over, keeping up supplies for projects is getting tougher.

I am wondering if anyone reading this has on hand spare wooden spools (any size) or other small pieces of scrap wood they are willing to donate rather than just throw away. I'm not looking for commerical craft wood suppliers, I can find those. I'm simply looking to see if anyone has wood they'd be willing to share that they have no plans for themselves.

For example, if you have an idea of something we could do at your location, we can certainly work that in. Topics that we have considered include, but are certainly not limited to the following: 1.. Bead bobbles 2.. Wire knitting 3.. Nalbinding 4.. Embroidery 5.. Hand sewing 6.. Applique 7.. Leather working 8.. Shoe making 9.. Sprang 10.. Bead making 11.. Cookery 12.. Armoring 13.. Weaving 14.. Spinning 15.. Making Scrolls 16.. Pleating 17.. Bead stringing 18.. ANYTHING YOU WISH THAT WE CAN FIND HELP FOR The topic that we will explore this week is... Viking wire knitting (trichinopoly)... If you have wire that you think will be useful (28-20 gauge) please bring it. Also if you have wire tools such as needle nose or round nose pliers or wire cutters. If you have wire knitted before and you have your own stuff bring it as well. Otherwise, we will hook you up! Directions: >From Meadville - take Rt 19 south until you get to GEorgetown road. You will see a sign for the Wilhelm Winery. Turn left, taking the right hand fork in the road. Drive a couple of miles until you get to the winery. Turn right. We are the third house on the right. >From Greenville - Take 358 out of Greenville towards Sheakleyville, turn onto 19 north toward Meadville at Camp Perry. *** Go through Sheakleyville until you get to the gold brick Church on the left - TURN right onto Church street, which will take you over the causeway for Lake Wilhelm. We are at the top of the hill after you cross over the lake on the left. >From I 79 - Get off at the Greenville Sandy Lake exit. Head toward Greenville. Turn North onto 19 at Camp Perry and follow from *** above. We have an old 3 story light blue victorian farmhouse.

Very soon there will be Pennsic staff posting on this list (as soon as I confirm email addresses). In that vein start thinking about what you might like to do at Pennsic. Their Majesties appreciate all who work to bring glory to AEthelmearc at Pennsic War. I have heard rumors of a AEthelmearc Kingdom Party like no other and that Pennsic set-up and tear down will be the most fun ever (really I heard that)! I hope to see many of you this weekend at Crown and you will be hearing more from Their Majesties staff very soon.

We invite all newcomers to the SCA to join us on Wednesday May 13th from 7:30-8:30pm in the Senior Cafeteria Lounge located just off the main cafeteria where we hold practices in Williamsville South High. This first class will help you to learn more about us and get you on your way to developing a persona, time frame, and mode of dress. If you already have an idea of what country and time frame you would like to portray, please contact either Robert or me before then so we can bring in some books for you to look through.

Also, since we're talking of fire, there is still a firewood quarantine in effect because of the Emerald Ash Borer.

This beetle was first detected in Pennsylvania in the summer of 2007 in Butler County and was found again the following summer in Mercer County. To help slow the spread of the beetle, a state-imposed quarantine for Allegheny, Beaver, Butler, Lawrence and Mercer counties will now be expanded to include Mifflin County. State and federal emerald ash borer quarantines restrict the movement from the quarantine area of ash nursery stock, green lumber and any other ash material, including logs, stumps, roots and branches, and all wood chips. "Our survey crews are assessing the extent of the infestation in Mifflin County and surrounding areas," said Wolff. "We remind consumers to heed the quarantine when traveling and camping this spring and summer-not just in the quarantined areas but throughout Pennsylvania-to prevent any further spread of the beetle." Pennsic war lies smack in the middle of this area so NO untreated (kiln dried or pressure treated) in or out of the area. Most regular building lumber has been treated either chemically or through heat so building type lumber is not considered in the quarantine however wooden pallets *are* banned.

Due to the difficulty in distinguishing between species, all hardwood chips, bark and firewood are considered quarantined.

She is a lady of integrity, intelligence and beauty. I am offended by your insinuation.

I am not casting dispersions upon Mistress Marcele's research, nor the fact that she has done a tremendous amount of very good and solid research, which I fully acknowledge and applaud. If Mistress Marcele is attempting to perform the highest compliment in producing a cover that mimics, and might be mistaken for, those used by an established company with a loyal following, and releasing it in sync with a similar release from the same company, I think she is succeeding. After all, who does not like a bit of flattery from time to time? Upon looking at the cover, because of the striking similarities in coloring, drawings, and word placement, my first thought was to be glad that a professional working relationship had been forged between Ms. McGann of Reconstructing History and Mistress Mercele. Upon viewing the Reconstructing History website, I was disappointed to have been misled by the cover art on the new venture into thinking such a thing, and feel that others might also be led to the same conclusion and likewise be disappointed. That her timing coincides with the release of a similar product (please note, not one advertised as being based on the exact same garment, nor an exact pattern, but one similar; being an armoring coat) from the same above-mentioned established company is an interesting fact, it probably could have been avoided. However, if Mistress Marcele is not aware that Reconstructing History had been advertising that they would be releasing a new pattern in April, this could be nothing more than a coincidence. Again, people who follow Reconstructing History patterns and were aware of the April release of an armoring coat pattern might become confused by this coincidence. Indeed, if Mistress Marcele is unaware of the existence of Reconstructing History's patterns and website, I fully believe a wondrous coincidence of similar packaging and release date is the case and revel in the fortune that many fighters will now have more choices. These are the things which I am pointing out. Again, I do not disparage nor doubt the excellent research done by Mistress Marcele in this area and I applaud her willingness to spread her knowledge in an enterprising manner.

I have to believe that since there is no ill-will between the two Ladies in question, their should be no ill will generated between anyone on this list about the release of the arming coat pattern. I agree the two products look a lot alike and that their release dates are very close. But since neither pattern maker is upset at the other, there is no reason for anyone else to be upset. The market will sort out whose pattern works best and for which application. I am rooting for them both since I feel that the patterns there are out there for the 14th C. enthusiast to enjoy the better off the rest of us are. ( Something about.. you gotta real nice pattern there. It would be ashamed if anything should happen to it...) Take care, Alexander Caithnes Stealing from Yngvar: There is no such thing as the 14th c. Mafia. I am a legitimate armour collecting enthusiast.

I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website. If you are already reading RSS feeds, please add the Florilegium RSS feed to find out when new and updated files as well as new features get added to the website. If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple Syndication, is a method built into many web browsers as being available as a separate tool, which lets you find out when the contents of your favorite websites has been updated or changed. You can find out more about RSS at this link as well as elsewhere: http:// rss.softwaregarden.com/aboutrss.html If you find this feature useful, please let me know. I have no way of knowing if you are finding it useful or not through the system itself. Like much of the economy, web advertising revenue is down. Last month I requested folks to click on an ad if it seemed interesting. This did cause a momentary spike in my ad income, which was a big help in meeting last month's expenses. However, after that couple of days the ad clicks went way down. If folks can get into the habit of clicking on an ad when they visit the site it would really help. Even if you don't buy anything, each click brings ratings up and increases the amount of money advertisers are willing to pay for each ad displayed. I'm trying to keep the amount of advertising as small as I can and as useful as I can. And if anyone has any contacts in the high-tech industry in Austin, Texas and would like to join my find-Stefan-a-job club, send me email. :-) Thanks, Stefan ======== A Blending of the Past and Present Over the past nineteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make this information available to others, I have placed this information in a collection of files I call Stefan's Florilegium. The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org I have added an RSS feed for the Florilegium website.

If you are unfamiliar with RSS, or Real Simple Syndication, it is a method built into many web browsers, and also available as a separate tool, which alerts you when the contents of your favorite websites have been changed. I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium.

Director Heather English reached the end of her term and has stepped down. Ms. English has made many valuable contributions to the Board over her term. We will certainly miss her insightful comments and her contributions as a director. We wish her success in her future endeavours. In her place, we welcome Mr. Thomas Noble and look forward to his contributions. Mr Noble is a professional Chef living in Charlotte, NC with his beautiful wife Courtney, two cats, Asia and Pounce, and Schnauzer, Kayliegh. He is currently in the process of learning the art of tattoo. Tom has been involved in the SCA since 1989 when a he saw a demo at his middle school. Dux Lucius Aurelius Valharic KSCA, OL, is an invasion-era Roman Cavalry officer who served extensively in Britain and Byzantium. He is almost as fond of fighting as he is of cooking. There is some debate about which he does better. Ombudsman assignments have changed to accommodate our new members. As always, these can be found at http://www.sca.org/BOD/omb.html In addition, we wish to recognize the retirement and exemplary contributions of George Reed, who stepped down as Society Seneschal (Vice President for Operations). We send our deep thanks for his efforts on behalf of the SCA, Inc. As Mr Reed leaves us, we are pleased to welcome Ms Kim Harvey to the position of Society Seneschal. Having served as a Kingdom Seneschal, Pennsic Autocrat and Crown, Kim brings a valuable range of SCA experience to the role. In the modern world Kim works as a project manager, those skills will also be of great value in this position. -- Patrick Anderson President Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. president at sca.org 952-412-4112 Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: SCA Inc.

I am highly offended that you people would roast Despina on a skewer for saying Tasha's pattern cover looks like mine! Guess what, people: it does! When Tasha and I saw our independently-designed covers side-by-side, we giggled. How in the world did we not see each other's work and yet we chose the same colour scheme? We decided to declare that "Great Minds Think Alike" and let it go. Many MANY people have emailed me to say Tasha's cover looks like mine. Despina was not the first to observe this. It's just the truth. And without the knowledge that Tasha and I knew about this similarity, of course they thought Tasha was copying me. There is no harm in pointing out the truth. Funny, when I first started out in the pattern business, a friend commented to me that a Swedish pattern company was copying my covers. What she didn't know was that the Swedish company had been in existance for years and the fact that our covers looked alike had more to do with us copying the same extant garments than any attempt to copy. So please try to remember that you're supposed to be upholding the ideals of honour and chivalry and courtesy, okay? I really think Despina is owed an apology, y'all.

The King's Archery Championship will be held this Saturday at War Practice. This is a good chance for all archers of Aethelmearc to come out and show off their skill and compete against some of the best archers in the Kingdom. Knowing Master Jacapo, I'm sure the competition will be challenging and rewarding. Be aware, though, that the Champion is the representative of the King on the Archery range and is expected to attend many summer events, take on any challengers in the King's name, attend the King in court and be a shining example of the grace and courtesy of our Sylvan Lands. This is not merely a title but a solemn responsibility. I know that I will come out with my best game and I challenge the rest of you to bring your best; bring your heraldry, bring your cheering section, and bring your skill and honor. I look forward to shooting against you soon. -- Cetach Fitzgibbon An Saghdeoir Scanr?il sin "Tig leat rith ach n? ach tuirseach a fhaighidh t? b?s." "Go ahead and run, you'll just die tired."

I hope your travels back from War Practice went well. I would like to pass along the results of the Fallen Heroes Tournament. Overall ten fighters made it to the list for our fighting on Friday night, The tournament was very close with all combatants fighting with great honor. The top three fighters winning prizes that were donated by several members of the populace. First Place - Sir Isenwulf Thorolfssone Second Place - Olafr Thorvarthavson Third Place - Sir Finn O'Shannon (who entered the tournament late) All totaled we raised $154.00 for the Fallen Heroes Fund! I would especially like to thank the following individuals who made the Tournament possible. Mistress Karana, who served as MOL for the Tournament, and continued to collect money throughout the weekend at the MOL table. The Honorable Lady Lady Alessandra d'Avignon The Honorable Lady Constance Glyn Dwr who served as prize holder, money collector and Chirurgeon. Lady Rua and Lady Sarab for organizing waterbearing, and the other Waterbearers who came to assist. Sir Kadan, The Honorable Lord Robert Marston, and the other Marshal who's name escapes me at this time, for marshalling a great group of fighters. Thank you all who donated prizes including Countess Aidan ni Leir, and Lady Fionnughnullie. Finally, Thank you to the Autocrat, Master Jacopo di Niccolo for allowing the space and time to have the tournament. In Service, Lord Liam MacanTsaoir From calvertdegrey at msn.com Sun May 17 20:50:24 2009 From: calvertdegrey at msn.com (Rich G) Date: Sun, 17 May 2009 20:50:24 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] Elevation thank yous In-Reply-To: <4A0C7D4B.1020306@twcny.rr.com> References: <4A0C7D4B.1020306@twcny.rr.com> Message-ID: Good people of ?thelmearc: There is simply not enough space for me to possibly include all the people who need to be thanked for all the work put into my lady's elevation, but I will attempt to try. If there is anyone I have missed it is not out of deliberate omission but due to senility on my part. First of all, I must thank Their Majesties, Maynard and Liadain for doing this and making my greatest dream in the SCA come true. Thanks must also go to: The members of House Lion's Tower who were able to make it to the event and were part of the procession: Sa'id Milhim ibn Rashid Brox al-Sukur al-Sahara, Baroness Ceol Seabhac and our magnificent children, Joshua of Lion's Tower and Rufus the Ranting. For those of you who couldn't make it, we still love you and we know where you live. :} To Sir Raimund of the Strait and Viscountess Angharad of the Sleeping Lion for being such an exceptional source of inspiration and guidance through our entire journey in the SCA. We wish you could have been there. Viscountess Angharad also made Mistress Jenna's elevation hood, using the pearls from her own coronet as part of the decoration. To Her Excellency Maestra Giulietta da Venezia for her continually superb voice skills, making Jenna sound as good as we all think she is. To Captain John Michael Thorpe who made the Pelican medallion despite having only one operational arm. It is truly a superb work of art. To THL Fionnghuala inghean Diarmada for her steadfast friendship and patiently explaining to my very confused in-laws what was going on during court. To Lady Ursula the Widow of the Barony of Brendoken who made my garb for the elevation without anyone really knowing. If you're in the Middle and are reading this list and saw how damned spiffy the linen cotte was, please go and thank her because I can't possibly do it enough. To Lord Konstantinos Akropolites for taking over as Marshal-in-Charge of the Youth Combat tourney when Their Majesties pulled Jenna off the field and doing his usual superb job. To Lord Andreas van Hassen and Lady Zoe Akropolitina for being grunt labor, good friends and superb organizers and making sure that everything that Jenna was supposed to be doing was getting done. To Master Brandrick Slaywrock who basically did anything we asked of him, no matter how silly or how extreme. To all the wonderful people who spoke up for Jenna at the ceremony: Duchess Sir Rowan, Earl Syr Yngvar, Countess Caryl, Sir Cameron, Sir Callidus, Sir Aengus, Ma?tresse Yvianne and Mistress Cori. Thank you for reminding me that so many others love her as well. To Mistress Aine nic Llyr for her intelligence work. We wished you could have been there as well. To everyone camped in Singing Stone who were both patient and hard working while all of this effectively took over the camp all day Saturday. You guys were truly wonderful and you are great friends to have. To His Excellency Sir Sextus Plinius Callidus who did a great deal of the manual gruntwork for the whole endeavor. Callidus was always busy and rarely noticed, just like he's been for the 20 years I've had the pleasure of knowing him. To Sir Aengus MacBain and Ma?tresse Yvianne de Castel d'Avignon who were responsible for the wonderful ambiance and the reception layout and who transformed their entire camp into both a vigil and reception area and made sure that everyone was well taken care of. Nothing we can possibly do can make up for all the hard work you guys did for us. But, by far, the most thanks goes to Her Excellency Mistress Cori Ghora. Cori was the mastermind of the whole operation, doing many of the things herself that could not otherwise be done. She was our general, our CEO, our head cheerleader, our head sempstress and next to my lady wife she is to me the perfect example of everything a Pelican should be. Cori, your work was beyond exemplary, beyond awesome and often beyond sanity and I will never forget it.

Message-ID: <6022261b0905192048k7fb0a7fue49b115dc23c5ffb@mail.gmail.com> Greetings all! As we head into summer and folks are beginning to set their sights on scheduling for Pennsic, I am writing to look for volunteers to come work at Heralds' Point this year. While we obviously need heraldic help, we also have a number of tasks for those without any heraldic knowledge! Not a heraldry person? Not a big book heraldry person? Want to help anyway? We need volunteers to greet people as they come in and help organize the waiting line. And we need more volunteers to help check folks out after they've finished their submissions. (If you?re not a warranted herald, you?ll need to be a warranted exchequer to do that job, though.) And we almost _always_ have coloring that needs to be finished (even at 11 at night!). We also need artists. If you don't have much training in the heraldic style, we are happy to give pointers. Or you can just start off by inking other artists' pencil drawings. For heralds? please check your kingdom heraldic list or e-mail me directly for more information about what types of heraldic volunteers we need. If you're interested in helping out, please stop by. We'll have a sign up sheet where you can sign up for blocks of time that are convenient to your schedule. Or, if you find yourself with free time you weren't expecting, you can just stop by and see if we need help at the moment. Heralds Point opens the first Wednesday of War and is open every day until the last Friday. There will be people doing set up and organization in the tent during the day on both Monday and Tuesday of the first week. Feel free to stop by, introduce yourself, get to know us, and ask any questions you have about working there. By the way... we've MOVED this year. You'll need to look for us across from the bathhouse near the barn instead of over near the A&S tents. I hope you'll consider volunteering with us at War this year. I look forward to seeing you there! Ailis Linne Heralds Point Coordinator, Pennsic 38 From page at sunshadowdesign.com Tue May 19 20:00:47 2009 From: page at sunshadowdesign.com (F.

It may have been mistaken for one of the Pic-a-Prize items as it was on a table near them. If he has mistakenly hitched a ride home with you please contact me via e-mail so we can arrange transport back to me. He is very dear to me and the company that made it no longer produces them. There is a reward for his safe return. Don't be taken in by his cute looks, he is very unpredictable and likes to take shiny objects. I can be reached at: slingbadger at aol.com.

As the warriors of the Kingdom meet at Aethelmearc War College to learn and improve their skills in the Arts of War, join Odriana vander Brugghe to learn the Art of Feeding the Hungry Warrior. There will be hands-on cooking classes, including the Steel Chef Challenge, offered throughout the day. The focus of the classes will be on the cuisine of the Middle East and Andalusia during our period of study. We will be working with available primary source material including the Al Andalus. The Steel Chef Challenge is where a number of ingredients will be provided along with several recipes from primary sources. Participants will be split into two teams who will then select a dish from the sources provided, create it, and the final product will be served to the event attendees. There will also be the regular cooking activities happening through the day and are separate from the learning opportunity. All levels of skill are welcome to participate and those at the beginner level are particularly encouraged to attend. Please contact me, Odriana vander Brugghe (jenn.strobel(at)gmail(dot)com), if you have any questions or if you are interested in participating.

The Pennsic War 38 staff has been notified that due to increasing fraud, Cooper's Lake Campground will no longer be able to accept Traveler's Checks or Money Orders to pay for entrance fees at Pennsic War. Only cash and credit cards will be accepted as methods to pay for your gate fees. And, as always, personal checks will NOT BE ACCEPTED. Please adjust your plans as needed. In an effort to publicize this change, feel free to cross-post this announcement in its entirety. Should you have any questions, please contact: Viscount Edward Zifran of Gendy Public Information, Pennsic War 38 Publicinfo at pennsicw ar.org Recent Activity From ladyren at gmail.com Thu May 21 08:36:27 2009 From: ladyren at gmail.com (Karen Finnemore) Date: Thu, 21 May 2009 08:36:27 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] Call for Largesse Message-ID: <4e6328420905210536n445af19bh451615bb0fc2856f@mail.gmail.com> Greetings, good gentles! As many of you know, each year at Pennsic, every Kingdom is chosen to gift towards one other Kingdom, as a sign of welcoming and friendship. Word has been received, from the powers that be for Pennsic, that the decisions has been made for Kingdom gifting. For this Pennsic, our most Glorias Aethelmearc has the fortune of gifting to the Kingdom of Trimaris! We have some of the most gifted artisans in the Knowne World within our borders. As always, donations towards the gift basket, as well as for the general largesse coffers, are most welcomed! In recent months, when Their Graces, Christopher and Morgen, traveled to the Kingdom of Meridies for Gulf Wars, They gifted embroidered sweetbags filled with spices, personalized banners for TRM of Meridies, wine from the beautiful wineries within our Kingdom, as well as other largesse gathered by Their Graces most capable hands. In times past, we have collected flavored sugar, award medallions, scroll blanks, embroidered handkerchiefs, and much, much more. If any of these gifts inspire you, your donations would be greatly appreciated! As always, if you have any questions about the general largesse, etc, please feel free to contact me. Though we do have a nice stockpile of gifts, very little is ever denied.

The Honorable Lady Katla Ulfhedinn is our Artisan of the Month for May 2009. Please visit http://www.aeans.org/artisans/aotm/aotm/aotm.htm to learn more about this diversely talented lady. If you know someone that should be recognized as the Artisan or Scientist of the Month, please nominate them. Anyone can be nominated, regardless of award. Send email to Odriana vander Brugghe (jenn.strobel at gmail.com) with the following information: 1. The person's SCA name. 2. The person's Modern name. 3. Tell me a bit about their particular area of research. 4. Your name. 5. Contact information for both you and your nominee.

Her Excellency posted some links to the Trimaris webpages, earlier today. I also sent a missive to the Chatelaine for TRM of Trimaris, asking what they may need or desire. This was within her response: "I can say that we recently experienced a loss of regalia due to storm damage. Anything by way of banners, pennants, etc. would be a most welcome sight around the battlefields and pavilions of Trimaris. Our Queen is particularly fond of colorful banners. Our Majesties our gracious and humble gift receivers and would be delighted in any and all wonderments that you and yours have desire to bestow." As mentioned previously, we have some of the most skilled artisan's within this Glorias Kingdom. I believe that we can make this gift exchange memorable to the good Royals of Trimaris. However, I do feel I should mention that TRM will be traveling back to Florida with the gifts that we bestow. We should be careful not to encumber Them by making it difficult to carry Their wares back with Them.

Each year, many people who cannot locate their membership cards use the online membership system to print proof-of-membership letters just before they leave for War. For most people, the system works perfectly, but as with any online system there are occasional glitches. If you purchased your membership by postal mail, the online system won't have your membership information, and therefore can't supply a proof-of-membership letter. If you haven't kept a record of your membership transaction ID, you won't be able to use the lookup service. And if you forget to include the "US" or "IN" prefix, the system won't be able to find your information. In any of these cases, the SCA Webfolk and the Member Services Office are happy to work with you to resolve the problem and get you a valid proof of membership, but we need enough time to do this. For those who purchased memberships by postal mail, the Member Services Office must print and mail out a new card. For those who renewed online, the Webfolk need to work with you to find and resolve the cause of the problem, which could take a few days. If you encounter a problem after the Webfolk have already left for Pennsic themselves, they will not be available to help you. If you are going to Pennsic this year, won't you please take a moment NOW to make sure that your membership and those of your family members are valid and that you have current member cards or proof-of-membership letters? ? If you need to replace your membership cards, please contact the Member Services Office at membership at sca.org before July 1. ?Include your full name, address, and membership number (if available). ?If you are printing out a proof of membership letter, please do so by July 15 at the latest, so we have time to help you with any problems that may arise. We are glad to help, and the sooner you find out about a problem the sooner we can help you resolve it, which means peace of mind for all of us in the stressful days getting ready for Pennsic. -- Patrick Anderson President Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. president at sca.org 952-412-4112 Comments are strongly encouraged and can be sent to: SCA Inc.

BRANCH STATUS CHANGE The Board took note of the creation of the Canton Des Forges in Trussville, AL. OLD BUSINESS Corpora IV.A.2. Revision - Memberships for Royal Lists The Board approved the following change in Corpora in order to protect the membership from the ramifications that can occur when a reign is invalidated due to an accidental lapse in membership by ruling nobility. Current: Section IVA 2 2. Each competitor and projective consort must hold a valid membership on the day to the Royal list, and must maintain that membership until their term of Royalty is over. Positive conformation that the Registry has processed the membership applications is required before anyone may fight or be fought for in a Royal List. Positive confirmation consists of a valid membership card, appearance of the name with a valid membership on a printout from the Corporate Office, a membership label issued by the Corporate Office showing the name and expiration date, or a postcard or letter from the Corporate office confirming that the membership has been received. Approved by the Board: 2. Each competitor and prospective consort must hold a valid membership on the day of the Royal Lists. Within ten business days after being declared victor in a Crown or Coronet Tourney, the Victor and Consort must present to the Kingdom Seneschal proof that their memberships are current through at least the end of the prospective reign. Positive confirmation consists of; a valid membership card, appearance of the name with a valid membership on a printout from the Corporate Office, a membership label issued by the Corporate Office showing the name and expiration date, receipt of online membership (as downloaded from the renewal website), or a postcard or letter from the Corporate office confirming that the membership has been received. NEW BUSINESS Society Webminister's Handbook (March 2009) The Society Webminister's Handbook was approved, although implementation of that handbook is at the pleasure of the new Society Webminister Aethelmearc War Practice Waiver Variance Request A request to approve revised waivers for the Aethelmearc War Practice was denied by the Board. Society Chronicler's Policies Manual (March 2009) The new Society Chronicler's Policies Manual was approved. REPORTS President - Patrick Anderson (Gabriel andvaka Kjotvason) Requests for Board action At this time I have been in this job nearly three years. My tenure as President ends either at the January 2010 Board meeting or February 1, 2010 (I'm not quite sure which). At this time, its prudent to look for a successor, with the goal of selecting my successor at the October, 2009 Board meeting, training that person for one quarter, and turning over the office at the January, 2010 Board meeting. Therefore, I request the Board approve the attached job description and order me to request applicants for the job of President of the SCA, Inc., with a closing date for applications of September 15, 2009. By consensus, Chairman Simon approved the job description as provided and directed President Anderson to prepare and post an announcement requesting applications for the position. Commendations This is the last Board meeting of George Reed, the Society Seneschal. I have a short list of people who have made my job easy and George tops that list. He knows his job and he does it well. I have been truly privileged to work with him these last years. And it is the beginning of Kim Harvey's tenure as Society Seneschal. I have been working with Kim for the last several months as she transitions into the job, and she has been doing a great job so far. I have complete faith that she will be a huge asset to our Corporate and Society team. This is the last meeting of director Heather English. Heather has acted as the quiet voice of reason on the Board. I will miss her thoughts and comments, and hope that she has fun in the West. Publishable summary The SCA, Inc. continues its mission of helping people enjoy the present by recreating the past. It's been a good quarter with two wars occurring and much fun being had by all. I appreciate people commenting to the Board on proposals the Board puts forth. It helps the Board make educated decisions based on the desires of the participants in the SCA when people comment. The Risk Assessment of Wars project has gotten off to a good start, with the Assessor attending both Estrella and Gulf Wars and setting the ground work for the assessment to come. While there has been some noise in some areas, generally, the quarter has been quiet. Publication Manager - Dori Andrepont (Doria Tecla) Requests for Board action 1. Approve the job description for the Editor of CA By consensus, Chairman Simon approved the job description for the Editor of the Compleat Anachronist as presented. 2. Open applications for the Editor of CA upon the Publication Editor's timeframe. By consensus, Chairman Simon directed the Publications Manager to begin the application process for the next Editor of the Compleat Anachronist. Commendations Many thanks go to Patrick Anderson for his help with the new office, and especially to Renee Signorotti for her time and efforts in making the unexpected transition to new printers for our publications. Publishable summary Bids for production of Tournaments Illuminated, Compleat Anachronist and Known World Handbook have been solicited from a variety of printers, with new printers and mailing houses having been selected for CA and TI. Vice President of Operations (Society Seneschal) - George Reed (Aaron faheud Swiftrunner of the Stone Keep) Requests for Board action 1. Please warrant Ms. Kimberly Harvey, known as Countess Kenna Harve as the Vice President of Operations and Society Seneschal of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. Motion by Heather English to appoint Kimberly Harvey, known as Countess Kenna Harve as the Vice President of Operations and Society Seneschal of the Society for Creative Anachronism, Inc. to the standard two (2) year term and subject to the standard six (6) month probationary period. Seconded by Eric Langhans. In favor: Heather English, Erik Langhans, Aaron Lloyd, Marilee Lloyd, Kim McAuley, Mitchell Steck. Opposed: None. Motion carried. 2. Please approve initiation of the application process for selection of the next Society Chatelaine. By consensus, Chairman Simon directed President Anderson and Society-Seneschal Elect to begin the application process for the next Society Chatelaine. Policy Interpretations 1. Referred by the SCA Marshal: Q: Can authorizations be performed at back-yard practices as opposed to official practices and/or events? A: In a word, no. There is agency granted when we authorize a fighter, inferring to the world they are trained and safe and officially sanctioned to participate. Agency of this nature must be granted under official auspices or we are inferring that we support any backyard practice anywhere with our insurance and rules and enforcement. Pretty scary stuff. Motion by Mitchell Steck to uphold the Society Seneschal's policy interpretation that authorizations cannot be performed at back-yard practices as opposes to official practice and/or events. Seconded by Aaron Lloyd. In favor: Heather English, Erik Langhans, Aaron Lloyd, Marilee Lloyd, Kim McAuley, Mitchell Steck. Opposed: None. Motion carried. Commendations 1. Renee Signorotti, Patricia LaChance, Theresa Anderson The SCA Corporate Headquarters in Milpitas has been invaluable and patient and these three ladies are on the watch-list for sainthood for the myriad indignities minor and major they overcome in the course of providing excellent service to our membership. Their cheery assistance to me, my staff, and the kingdoms has been without equal. Renee stands out especially, given the (approximately) 1.3498 million times she has kept me from going under the bus. 2. Heather English Heather English concludes her tenure on the Board at the end of the April 2009 meeting. Before that she spent several years as one of my Kingdom Seneschals. Heather came into both jobs with much to learn and grew into each quickly. She will long stand on my list of excellent servants to the society-ever skilled at making it don't. She also has some brilliant taste in scotch. 3. Leslie Luther- Fulton Leslie has spent the past few years as the Executive Assistant to the Board of Directors. We all love Saint Leslie for her good humor, deft hand at a thankless task, the gentle way she can invite someone to stop smoking the bad bird seed, and for her innate ability to make Duke John Bear-Killer hide under the couch. Leslie has been a wonderful coworker, a fine example to emulate, and a very dear friend. 4. SCA Web-folk These folks, led by Marla Lecin keep the lights on, the web-site running, and field a thousand problems a year before anyone ever knows something is amiss. We could never possibly count the volunteer hours spent keeping our systems and data safe, our operations operating, and tolerating the ever changing whims of the Imperium Seneschal. Thanks guys! 5. Dave Wiener, Scott Courtney, Jeffrey Alan Brown As a technology executive in the modern world, I was quickly drafted to assist with the Chief Technology officer's area, forming a bridge between our corporate needs and the many systems that support them. Dave Wiener and his cast of volunteers did a phenomenal job making online membership happen. Scott Courtney brought us into a more robust and cost-effective technology solution and Jeff Brown helped forge the role of the CTO into a corporate office reporting to the President and over-seeing projects as opposed to punching keys. These gentlemen all provided invaluable service to the Society took us from paper forms to online waivers and well-earned the Pelicans that grace their arms. 6. Meg Baron, Linda Moore, Patrick Anderson It is somewhat frightening to think that I served with three different Presidents of the SCA. Meg Baron was a storehouse of 'how we do that" and "WE Do NOT do THAT!" and "Gods above tell me you did not hit SEND on that!" Meg worked at the Corporate level for just under six years as Director, Chairman, President, and Executive Assistant. I still miss her humor at meetings and hear the click of nails on the keyboard express. Linda Moore was a phenomenal Kingdom officer, the perfect image-well to me-of a Director, a vibrant and caring Chair of the Board, and a very fair, detail-oriented President. When she left the corporate level to be queen of Northshield, I remember thinking how very much I'd miss her and how very lucky Northshield was. Patrick Anderson is a perfect example of what happens when you forget how to spell "NO!" He served well as chair of the SCA Legal Committee and did not flee for the border when a sudden vacancy appeared at the top box. Patrick has guided us through many and sundry tangled issues and displayed remarkable dignity whenever someone hisses out the word, "Potttteeerrrrrrrrrrr!" 7. Jason Williams, Hal Simon Jason Williams is one of the finest examples of fair and measured work as a chairman that I have ever seen. He looked at every possible side of a story-even when the answer seemed obvious at the outset. As a result, many decisions were made effectively when a more-hasty action would have led to disaster. He is off racing cars now, but the SCA is a brighter place for his laps around our track. Hal has served on the board twice and his persistent calming influence and experience with historical organizations is a tremendous asset to the Society. I was lucky to get to work with him twice during my tenure. 8. Gabrielle Underwood, Fernando Vigil, Shawn Reed, Liz Schraer, Dena Cady These directors were a delight to work with and each in their own way greatly impacted the quality of service I have been able to provide. Gabrielle Underwood is a proud force of nature who is positively miffed when we cleverly spot how much she cares about people. Her fire, enthusiasm, and skill at keeping a meeting on point were simply priceless. Fernando (FERD) Vigil was a rock upon which the waves of wrong had no chance. He can see through any subterfuge, find humor after a fifteen hour work session, and hand a can of quiet to a screaming duke with confidence and a smile. Shawn Reed can see every side of the story and will examine all possible good motives before assuming mal-intent. This detailed due diligence kept sanctions activity on the path of fairness for her entire tenure. She has a cool last name too. Liz Schraer could spot a typo on page 476 of a document without opening the binder. Her attention to detail is simply amazing to behold. Dena Cady. The delightful Dena has the compassion of a nurse and the no-nonsense nature of the emergency room. She could cut an issue to the bone and take direct action when the situation called for it. She has been off the Board for years now, but I still remember when she saved my life with a liberal supply of advil and a warm smile. 9. Susan Earley, Mazelle Attiya Without a stalwart Society Exchequer, where would we go to finance the SCA? Petty Cash of course! In seriousness, both Susan and Mazelle came into the post with directives to address specific problems and initiatives and succeeded masterfully. They are fine co-workers and priceless friends. One thing though-the shortest path between two points at Estrella is *not* found by following Susan Earley... 10. Kelly A. Stowe, Tim Jennings What can one say about the Ivy Duchess of Arts and the King of Bling? Kelly went on from the chaos of two full terms as a society officer to the quiet, reserved retirement due to anyone who becomes Khan of the Horde for life.. O Wait. Tim Jennings is a masterful entertaining, director of theatres in modern life, and a great encourager of the arts and sciences. His skills, collaborative sense of compromise, and dedication to service have made him an icon of excellence in the SCA. I particularly enjoyed our April Fool's report competitions. 11. Elise Fleming Elise has been the Society Chatelaine for most of my tenure. She did a phenomenal job teaching, coaching, mentoring, inspiring, and giving SUCH a pinch when matters call for it. I am ever inspired by her enthusiasm and warm heart. 12. Tamara Griggs, Stephanie Drummonds In the beginning there was the SCA and nobody knew who we were and this was good. So very, very good. But then came the media on a slow news-day and they discovered the games in the parks and cooked up great schemes to show the games on Wife-Swap and Queer Eye and it was bad so very, very bad... But then I hired Tamara Griggs to establish a Media Officer post and organization, and there was policy and protection, and proliferation of positive press...and this was good...so very, very good. But then Tamara needed a rest and the infidels of wife-swap were upon us and the masses wailed and it was bad so very, very bad. Forth-ok Second-came Stephanie Drummonds, and there were smiles, and calm, and velvety anvils, and manners, and policy, and perfectly positive pictures of presentable press and it was very, very good. So good I shall stop this section now. 13. Kevin Griggs Fighting and eating and dancing, and finances can be a risky business. I asked Kevin Griggs to step away from his regular position as Large Duke of Intimidation (+3) and develop some risk assessment strategies. He did so and evaluated many circumstances for their risk to our membership and the organization itself. There are at least a dozen utter disasters no one ever heard about because he analyzed them for me and I was able to open of a large box of "Not Happening!" and make them vanish. 14. Tobalina Beck, Deborah Brown, Cathyn McKenna, Marilee Lloyd, Charles Cohen, Wendel Bordelon, John Fulton, AJ Riviezzo, Erik Langhans My fearless band of intrepid investigations deputies. These folks gave up tons of free time, travelled around the continent, interviewed stressed-out, angry, scary people, and rendered sound recommendation as to what my office or the Board should do about problems. There is **no** way I could have accomplished the Sanctions Management part of my job without these fine folks and I commend them highly for taking trips under the bus on my behalf. Sorry about the tire-marks guys... 15. Joseph Radding, Sandi Doner, Cara Zitny, Jennifer Gaspar In every long-term SCA experience there are examples of dedication, hard work, selflessness, and amazing calm in the face of the impossible and daunting. These folks are who I think of whenever this sort of person is discussed. Joe Radding is perhaps the finest mediator I have ever seen. His greatest triumph was a mediation that did not entirely work, but it showed that one really can afford every possible chance for conflict to be resolved with pinache. Sandi Doner, known in the society as Saint Katherine Barr was seneschal of the East Kingdom and taught me immeasurable things about grace under fire. Cara Zitny twice organized large symposiums on my behalf, with minimal financial burden to the SCA and great positive change to the organization. I cannot express how much the SCA owes this fine Baroness from Caid. I can only say thank you. Jennifer Gaspar. Some people evoke great changes and some people evoke little ones which add up without anyone noticing. Jennifer performed a small task for my office some years ago. This small task allowed us to begin the process of streamlining Corpora, Seneschal Policy, Kingdom laws, and cut down to the rules required. She is also the only soul I have encountered who can be Kingdom Seneschal, Royal Chamberlain, and Royal Liaison at Pennsic and still have a smile at the end of the week. It could have been the stout, but I like to think it is about class and the fabled fists of fury. 16. Kathryn Kibellus, Karen Johnson, Courtney Powers, Brandy Powers, Dana Cushing, Scott Herzog While I have had nearly a dozen SCA dependents promoted in the 15 years since I became a peer, these fine folks have given up Laurel/Pelican time, pitched in on projects, kept their silence when they heard confidential information, and brought me a tasty adult beverage when venting was just not going to cut it. 17. Baroness Aurelia Rufinia. I had the pleasure of twice working with Her radiance as the Best.Pennsic.Secretary.Ever (tm) Those two Pennsics were so much easier than the others, despite 18 hour days and chaos at 3 am. Rufinia is a true force of nature and "A Roman by God!" She is an effective bouncer, a skilled scheduler, a tactful courier, and if I ever told people how much she really cares about the SCA and the people in it she'd probably...o...dear.. 18. George L. Reed III, James William Reed My boys gave up a lot of Dad time when I scurried around the globe on SCA business. I have to think that theirs was a far-greater sacrifice than mine. Their smiles and hugs when I got back have frankly been one of the things that keep the Swiftrunner swift for what has become a term two days longer than Hilary of Serendip. Publishable Summary A Farewell Letter to the Officers and Membership of the Society for Creative Anachronism ''To the Corporate Office, Officers, Directors, Royal Families, Membership, and visitors to the Society for Creative Anachronism I send these last greetings as your Vice President of Operations and Society Seneschal. First and foremost I would like to thank the tens of thousands of participants for six years of challenges, learning-experiences, and opportunities to serve and to observe excellence on a grand scale. Few of us have had the pleasure of even a single term in this space, and to be blessed with two is a gift beyond measure. For every challenge and tragedy, I have seen a hundred shining examples of why we all came together to begin with. For every loss there are a thousand victories, Your voices have all sung loud in the hall, have been heard even when I did not want to hear, and have helped change the face of our organization. I applaud everyone who provides comment and who provide constructive feedback when they feel so moved. No seven Directors or seven officers can steer so large a ship through rough waters without a strong crew and many hands on deck. Thanks for lending a hand and a voice, Whether it is ten thousand members donating over a half million dollars in time, money and goods to victims of hurricanes, amazing rescues of horses from California Wildfires by equestrian groups, the donation of thousands of toys to children living in poverty, and volunteers with FEMA and the Red Cross, I cannot fail to be overwhelmed and impressed with the boundless kindness and generosity of the SCA, Please never lose that sense of community and responsibility. As a performer on many stages I am well aware that every show runs its course, every tale becomes a bit stale, and every song becomes old at some point-no matter how catchy the tune. I thank you for your kind attention to my personal act-well-supported by 91 Kingdom and Principality Seneschals and special deputies during my tenure. I thank you for your time and assistance, for the opportunity to serve, and I thank my sons for sacrificing ''Dad" timeout which is now restored. With the passing of time, comes the need for change and you will have positive change with my successor Kimberly Harvey, Countess Kenna Harve. You may look far and seek long and not find another soul more dedicated to this organization. I know that our ship will continue through the strain in good order, and under hands more- skilled than mine. My final request of the Kingdoms and the people for whom I have long served is that you take some time to look around you and applaud someone who is doing a good job. It will not be a burden or take long as excellence surrounds us all. Warm winds Aaron'' Vice President of Corporate Operations - Renee Signorotti Commendations It's time to sadly say good-bye to George Reed and Heather English. I've worked with both of these people for many years, and it's always been a pleasure. George, you've brought an enormous amount of joy to my job & I've always appreciated your efforts helping to make things run smoothly for the Corporate Office staff. Enjoy snuggling for endless hours with Jamey. FIJI OR BUST! Heather, you've been an excellent Director and before that a Kingdom Seneschal. Enjoy a nap, hours of needlework, and then call me! Dori Andrepont, TI Editor & Publications' Manager, has done a spectacular job handling a huge crisis for the SCA.

(BWHAHAHAHA) All kidding aside, I cannot express enough thanks to the dedicated people that have taken the time to be an exchequer, whether at the local level or kingdom. While it seems that it is a thankless job at times, it is a very necessary job to keep the SCA going. Please keep up the good work.

Publishable summary We are currently running two months following the meeting for publication of the Letter of Acceptances and Returns. Although we would like to get them out sooner, it is a process that takes time to establish and the proofreaders got pretty tired when we were putting out two letters a month. We are currently accepting bids for Known World Heralds and Scribes in 2010, and I am looking forward to seeing what wonders will be offered to us this time. I have heard rumor of some pretty interesting things in the works. A large amount of old papers have recently come to light from the early days of the Society. Some of these are quite delicate and so are being scanned to preserve them. Among them are meeting notes and early Letters of Acceptance and Returns. We are working on getting all of the old Letters up on the website.

I assume that the time of year or economy somehow affected this. We will correct this for April 1 reporting. Society Chirurgeon - Marcia Schlemm (Katrei Grunenberg) Commendations I would like to commend the three kingdom Chirurgeons who retired from office this quarter.

It was a pleasure to work with them and I wish them a peaceful "retirement". Publishable summary Things were quiet for the first quarter of 2009 in the chirurgeonate. There is slow growth in numbers. Estrella had good weather and with the good weather, fewer reported injuries. There are a number of changes in staffing at the kingdom level in process. I am looking forward to new ideas. Chief Technology Officer - Robert G. Ferrell (Cynric of Bedwyn) Commendations Dave Weiner has been of tremendous assistance to me in this transitional period and I would like to thank him formally for his hard work and diligence.

Melee Madness is this weekend (sorry for this late notice but there have been connection issues with the computer...) And with the event is included the Seven Pearls A&S exhibit, where the Arts and Sciences Champions of the seven baronies of Aethelmearc compete for the honor (and bragging rights!) to the title of "Seven Pearls A&S Champ"! Documentation is requested for your entry. IF you are a current Barony champion in the Arts and Sciences category, please consider attending Melee Madness for a chance at winning the honor! There will be an award scroll, limned and calligraphed by ME, Barbary Rose--and if THAT isn`t enough incentive for you, a small token of appreciation yet-to-be-determined will come your way as well...! For those who wish to try their hand at entering an A&S competition, we also have an Open A&S contest for you! The theme is open (meaning that whatever you are working on now will be eligible) and since this IS a competition, at least simple documentation is requested (most A&S competitions require documentation anyway) If you have always wanted to try your hand at entering one of the A&S events, here is your chance! While awaiting the results of the contest, we also have the usual Melee Madness happenings...warlord battles, equestrian games, fencing tournament, archery shoots...there is so much to do and see! Any questions about the A&S portion, please contact Barbary Rose (me) at this address... ? barbary rose ? my little ol` web page ___________________ From Orilee.Ireland-delfs at xerox.com Wed May 27 17:15:54 2009 From: Orilee.Ireland-delfs at xerox.com (Ireland-delfs, Orilee) Date: Wed, 27 May 2009 17:15:54 -0400 Subject: [SCA-AE] Gate Guards for AEthelmearc Royal at Pennsic Message-ID: <11563_1243459001_n4RLGe2F012872_C7B49D0E12A66F449112CCF2BC4933B109FEAD5F@USA0300MS01.na.xerox.net> The skies are blue, the sun is warm, War Practice is past and it is time to be thinking of Pennsic!

The stamps are actually the Elder Futhark, but they're labeled "Celtic Runes" for whatever reason. Tandy stopped carrying these stamp sets several years ago, in favor of the Hebrew alphabet, but thanks to an enterprising store manager, there are a limited number available at the Tandy store in Chelmsford, MA. They're only available at this one store, so don't go looking for them on the Tandy website -- they're not there. Let me reiterate that these are leather stamps, and give a lovely sharp impression in properly cased veg tan leather. They're $32 plus shipping and applicable tax, unless you can pick them up in-store, which will save you shipping. Ken (the store manager) says that he has 11 sets left. If you're interested, contact Ken or Marji at the Chelmsford, MA Tandy Leather store: 978-275-0596 or 866-771-0003, or you can email them at boston at tandyleather.com. BTW, I get nothing out of this save a warm fuzzy feeling of having been helpful.

I have both Monday and Tuesday the 4th and 5th of June off. I am willing to use both days for wood working workshops. I plan to start around 1pm on Monday and 3pm on Tuesday and both days I will cut it off around 8pm to spend time with the family. This is a perfect time to get those Pennsic projects finished or just start learning how to craft wood. If you have an idea or just want to spend time helping others with thier projects come out and enjoy. If you have questions on the workshop please call me at 724-777-5581 or email at fintannacoilled (at) comcast (dot) net. The address is 2259 Todd Road Aliquippa, PA 15001.

Lists open at 10; armor inspection is at 11, and fighting will follow. After the Challenge Tourney there will be silly fighting designed by Rowan. The silliness will include a platform tourney, a short and long distance tourney, and other bizarre gladiatorial games. Following the silly fighting, as time permits, there shall be a rousing game of Harp Seal, a game for everyone. No armor is required; we shall provide the duct tape. A cute, helpless, furry white animal with big brown eyes nervously awaits your competitive pleasures.

A variety of classes and activities are in the works such as Bladesmithing, Jewelry Making, Historical Metalsmithing techniques and much more.

Aside from learning the arts of the metalsmith, we offer other useful classes for the SCAdian getting ready for Pennsic. THL Rowena nic Donnchaidh will bring sewing machines for an all-afternoon garb workshop and offer her expertise in garb construction; feel free to bring your fabric & projects and work on them. Mistress Morgan Silverlocke will offer an afternoon class on hand sewing for those who would learn the gentle arts of taming fabric by hand. Baron Master Daniel del Cavallo will hold an afternoon workshop to enlighten you in period beverages and their appropriateness for your persona. You can expect a nourishing breakfast both Saturday and Sunday and a tasty lunch on Saturday for all. A fine feast of Spanish food will be offered Saturday night, prepared by the Coppertree Cooks Guild, the Calamari Rouge, overseen by Sifrid der Blint and Mistress Mathilde des Pyrenees. This is a wet site; but we encourage you to drink responsibly and pack out your empties. No consumption of alcohol by those under 21 will be tolerated.

Rich Goranson (THL Stephan Calvert deGrey) Amherst, NY, USA (Barony of the Rhydderich Hael, ?thelmearc) Production Editor, Pennsic Independent "I could have conquered Europe, all of it, but I had women in my life." - King Henry II of England ================================================= Welcome to our annual announcement regarding Pennsic Independent subscriptions and advertising! We regret that we have had to increase our prices this year. As with many businesses, our printing costs and many other costs increased last year. I had hoped that we would be able to maintain our prices, and did so last year, but we could not continue to do so. While PI is a sole proprietorship, we try to keep our prices as low as possible. Our mission has always been to bring good, reliable news, entertainment, and information to both the Pennsic populace and folks at home. We have to make a profit to stay in business, but that profit has always been very low (about $30 a year). Last year's numbers showed that we must raise prices this year or cease to exist. Therefore, we made the sad decision to raise our daily price to $1.25. We have also done away with the bulk-rate home mailing due to low bulk-rate subscriptions and the unreliability of that form of mail. We do still offer the Priority Mail subscription for those who wish to receive PI via postal mail. PDF subscriptions continue to be the best value (and in color!). Remember that your subscription helps us to continue to bring you the best in Pennsic news and entertainment, as well as being the least expensive Pennsic souvenir! Your pre-Pennsic orders and subscriptions go very far toward publishing the first issue. A note to our Canadian subscribers: We will be mailing Canadian subscriptions from Canada in the future due to the unreliability of doing so through the US mail. The price is the same as for a US subscription. This year, we will be adding a special column by Dr. Henry Best, new cartoons, and new puzzles! Look for the announcement on the web site. We truly appreciate the wonderful support we have always received, and look forward to serving you for many years to come. For subscriptions and classified advertising, as well as the PI Web Edition and information on display advertising, please check out www.pennsicindependent.com. I am always happy to answer any questions. Listen to suggestions, or just chat. I can be contacted at publisher at pennsicindependent.com. As always, please feel free to stop by and visit us at Pennsic. The OG party is Wednesday night. We'll have Ho-Hos!
