[Archers] WoW Children's Marshals Needed

[Garth Groff]

My Noble Friends of the Bow,

WoW is only a month away, and I am still seeking marshals or MITs to 
work the children's range on Friday and Saturday. So far only one person 
has stepped forward.

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 experience 
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 ten 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 on Friday morning. I suggest this would be worth 
attending, especially if you've never worked with children before.

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 satisfaction. 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 look forward to being swamped by volunteers.

Yours Aye,


Lord Mungo Napier, WoW Children's Range MIC
