My Noble Friends of the Bow,

WoW is just days away, and I am still seeking target archery marshals or
MITs to work the children's range on Friday and Saturday. Two good gentles
have stepped forward to help, but more are needed.

Please let me know if you can take a two-hour shift during one of these
days. There will be a sign-up board at the event, but it would help me
greatly if I knew you were willing to help.

I especially would like hear in advance from any MITs who want to assist.
This is a great opportunity for MITs to get some rare experience. I would
consider a four-hour block, or two shorter blocks to be worth a signature.
Otherwise, a two-hour block could probably be combined with time on the
adult range for a signature.

I will be bringing eleven bows, a dozen sets of arrows, and a ton of
arm-guards and gloves. You don't have to provide any gear. If you do wish to
work, there will be a half-hour safety class for the youngsters and their
parents at 9:30 on Friday morning. I suggest this would be worth attending,
especially if you've never worked with children before. 
Come by at 9:00, and I can show you the gear.

Now my sermon. Working with children is one of the most rewarding things we
can do in the SCA. Time spent serving as a mentor/role model gives the
youngsters real life lessons like responsibility, confidence, and personal
discipline. These are great gifts to give a child. Everything else we do in
the SCA, no matter how much fun or rewarding, is just play, but what you do
for children can have a life-long effect on them.

I still look forward to being swamped by volunteers.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, WoW Children's TA Range MIC
