<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">To all the people of the Barony Marche
of the Debatable Lands does Elss of Augsburg send warm holiday
greetings!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">As has been announced, this year's
Barony Twelfth Night will be held on January 14, 2012, at the Lodge
in North Park, from 10 AM until we can dance no more! Here are the
details again:</p>
<ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Location: The Lodge at North Park,
(no street number) Pearce Mill Road, Allison Park, PA 15101</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">When: on Saturday, January 14,
2012, the site will open at 10 AM and close at 10 PM or later, so
that all may have enough time to enjoy the day.
</p>
</li></ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">In addition to the Potluck, the
Baronial A&S Champion competition, and the Baroness’ Bardic
Championship, these other activities may also benefit from planning
and forethought:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<ul><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Start testing recipes now for the
Cookie Baking Competition! Cookies of any and every type are eagerly
anticipated -- bar cookies, rolled cookies, drop cookies, cookies
cut and shaped, filled and frosted, and everything else!</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Shop for an extra special present
for the Gift Exchange! Please spend about $5 or $10 and wrap your
gift so it's a secret, and if it is an adult gift, please mark it as
such so that everyone can choose wisely.</p>
</li><li><p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Bring a contribution to the Silent
Auction! Pass on your gently worn garb, extra fabric, or old but
serviceable armor, or bring something new, or bake a cake or a plate
of brownies – this year's fundraiser will benefit the Seven Pearls
Dinner to be hosted by our Baron and Baroness at Pennsic this
summer.</p>
</li></ul>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 0in">Even two messages cannot possibly
contain the list of all the activities of the day! More information
is to come, including complete directions. The autocrat is Elss of
Augsburg; direct all inquiries to her at elss_of_augsburg at
yahoo.com or to Rocky Hayeslip, 221 Pine Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15237
