>Greetings to all from Munenori, Baron Roaring Wastes of

>Yes, the rumours you have heard are truth. We are building
>a fortification at Coopers Lake, adjacent to the main
>battlefield, for use at Pennsic 30. It will be a grand
>and glorious structure, built for the enjoyment of everyone
>in the Known World for decades to come.
>
>But an edifice of such magnitude cannot be built by a few
>hands - not even a few very, very dedicated hands. We need
>your help! We will need people who can run power equipment
>(like tractors and augers) and people who can wield a shovel
>and a wheelbarrow. We will need people to hold up boards,
>and people to bolt those boards down. We will need all sorts
>of skill sets, with one thing in common: a desire to see
>this fort built, and built to last. You don't need to be
>a carpenter or a contractor to be a vital resource for this
>project; we can use the help of anyone who's willing to put
>some time and effort in with us.
>
>We will be working very nearly every weekend between now
>and June 30th. If you can devote a weekend or two this summer,
>you will have a singular opportunity to have a hand in the
>creation of our ongoing SCA heritage - and you can help us
>ensure that the fort is ready for use in the Pennsic 30 Fort
>Battles!
>
>So heed this call, O great Houses and Baronies of the SCA!
>Hear the clarion, all SCAdians at large, be you singular
>or many! Lend us your strength and skill that we might create
>something for the lasting enjoyment of everyone at many years
>to come. Please contact me, via email or telephone, to let
>me know what people (and their skillsets) that you can muster,
>so that I might coordinate a time when you can come and put
>your time to good use. We will be launching a website shortly
>to provide progress and schedule information.
>
>Please feel free to pass this information around to everyone
>you know - we're very excited about the fort, but we'll need
>a lot of help to make it a reality. I look forward to hearing
>from you soon, and until then I remain the servant of Kingdom
>and Society,
