[Pennsic] Intro and a Nifty Booklet

[ElzRegina at aol.com]

Greetings to all who will be attending Pennsic!!!   I have  attached a pdf 
file of an awesome  Pennsic Scheduling Booklet for one and  all to print and 
use.  It came in quite handy last year not only for  keeping track of classes, 
but expenses, gatherings, parties and general  notetaking.   
 
I will go ahead and introduce myself for those who do not know me as a  
member of the Shire of Caer Adamant although for this Pennsic I will not be  
camping with the Shire.    I go by Valentina Barrows in the SCA,  and  hold the 
offices of Minister of Arts and Sciences, and  Chronicler.  I am a "jack of all 
trades and master of none" as I make my  own garb, do some embroidery, pewter 
casting, have made cordials, viking wire  weaving, learning the recorder, and a 
beginner at Middle Eastern Dance.  I  am also learning to spin fire (poi).   
While I dabble in quite a bit,  I have  realized that "service" is more my main 
interest (and  talent) so I am beginning to travel down that path in a more 
focused  manner.   For this year,  I will be camping in E06 (EK  Royal).  My 
primary responsibility is that of inventorying the gifts  received by TRM and 
making sure Thank You Notes get sent out.  Also, I will  be involved with many 
of TRM activities, and occasionally tagging along  as a Lady in Waiting.  It 
will be a "working" Pennsic but it should be  a lot of fun.
 
With that said, I encourage everyone to volunteer in some capacity, it  truly 
can be quite fun...Chirurgeon's Point (you need not be a Chirurgeon, they  
can use you as a scribe), Security (I had a great time last year on cart patrol; 
 plus you can also wander the merchant area, keeping an eye out for potential 
 problems, and shopping at the same time), Troll (everyone is happy when they 
 arrive at Troll!!), Newcomers Point, the A & S Tent (they only need you for  
15 minutes at a time).  Check here for more opportunities:  _PENNSIC WAR 34 - 
 Volunteer Opportunities_ 
(http://www.pennsicwar.org/penn34/GENERAL/volunteers.html)    I believe, but am not sure, that  volunteer time contributes to war 
points for your Kingdom.  If this is the  case, the East Kingdom may be 
outnumbered this year, so all help will be needed  !!!
 
I look forward to seeing all of you at Pennsic!!!
 
Yours in Service,
 
Valentina
