>>Greetings to all from Munenori, Baron Roaring Wastes of
>>the august Middle Kingdom, and foreman of the Pennsic Castle Project!
>>
>>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,
