[Archers] Isenfir Period Archery Collegium Plans

[Lorelei Elkins]

Doh!  Just found this in my spam folder.

This is so awesome.  I will make every attempt to attend, although my
cousin is getting married some time in the fall, not sure when.  I say
let's spread the word far and wide now so people can make plans.  It's a
very busy time of year.
