[SCA-BMDL] SNOWBALL FIGHT! (A Non-Zoom Activity)

[Krista Cogan]

Here's a formatted version of this email:

Salve Accolens! Hello Debatable Lands and Neighbors!

*Let’s have a snowball fight!* I have in my hand a “snowball” – an envelope
containing a bunch of stamps and a few sheets of blank stationary – that is
just asking to be filled with your notes, doodles, and well-wishes to each
other!

A little confused? We’re basically gathering and sending each other
goodwill notes through the mail, cumulatively, so it grows like a snowball.
Would you like to play? *Here’s how*:

   1. Fill out this form with your name and address:
   https://forms.gle/cPG29SvgMjSNhch96
   Everyone who signs up will be put on the list of players. (You can just
   send to the Baroness directly, too, if you prefer.)
   2. When your turn comes, you’ll receive the “snowball”. Open the
   envelope, read and enjoy. And then add a note, doodle, poem, just a
   signature – whatever your heart desires – of your own to the stationary.
   Don’t be afraid to take up space – we can always add more paper! Or add
   your own paper, if you like. Multiple people in the same household can add
   at the same time.
   3. Take a stamp, then put the papers and the unused stamps into a new
   envelope. Address the new envelope with the next player’s address.
   Addresses will be online at a link to be provided to players only. Or just
   contact the Baroness for the next address, if that’s easier.
   4. Mail the snowball to the next person the SAME DAY (putting out for
   your mail carrier for next day pick-up counts).

That’s it! You’ve lobbed your snowball of community goodwill! And feel free
to take a picture of the snowball’s contents and share on social media
before you send, if you like. The point is to *connect with each other in a
new and fun way*.

*The only requirements:*
+You have to use your own envelope to lob your snowball
+You’ll be sharing your address with other players (not public)
+You have to lob your snowball the SAME DAY
+You should live in the Debatable Lands or one of our neighbor Shires.

Again, here’s the form to sign up – sign up anytime:
https://forms.gle/cPG29SvgMjSNhch96

Please be safe! Wash your hands and wear a mask to add your note. If you
get sick, send an email or message to Hilda to be moved down the list or
removed. Other questions can also be sent to Baroness Hilda at
baroness at debatablelands.org.

Many thanks to Master Ishiyama for coming up with how to do this new
pandemic Baronial activity that doesn’t involve a screen.

*Looking forward to the first volley of our SNOWBALL FIGHT!*
