[Archers] Pennsic

[Denise McMahon]

I have written to the Lord Mayor of Pennsic 40 and asked to be put in  
contact with whomever is in charge of Archery for Pennsic 40. It's  
Baron Devon, so only Lord knows when he'll get back to me. :) I didn't  
leave it at that since I have one or two friends who are Society level  
marshals (they are from the Midrealm), so I asked them to please go  
find out what they could so we could get a jump start on this. It was  
my intention to give the information to Lorelei or perform  
introductions and then stand back and let the Archery Community run  
with the project giving any other support that I could.

I'm still waiting to hear back- but I only wrote to folks and placed  
phone calls on Monday and both of them travel a great deal. Those who  
know me, know that I am rather persistant, so I do think that I should  
have some good info for us shortly.  However, that shouldn't stop  
anyone else from writing emails to the Lord Mayor, phoning folks they  
know or otherwise utilizing their contacts to make this thing happen.  
The more the merrier might actually get this thing done- and that  
would be fabulous for everyone, Atlantia and everyone else.

As ever, sometimes the coronet can be useful for something other then  
an ornate paperweight. :) Just to trying to be helpful.

cheers!

If in the darkness of ignorance,
you don’t recognize a person’s true nature, look to see whom he has  
chosen for his leader.
