[MR] Oak Raffle Update

[Tom Rettie]

As previously announced, The Oak will be holding a raffle and sealed-bid
auction at Atlantian 12th Night to raise funds for future issues.

Syr Otto von Schwartzkatz has generously donated another of his excellent
mail coifs for the raffle.  The coif is made of 5/16" links of 14 ga. wire.
It contains approximately 6,000 rings and, at the shoulders, is about a 19"
circle. The dag pattern was taken from a mail aventail from the
Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Tickets will be $2 each; buy a chance and take home some treasure.

There will also be a sealed-bid auction for a turned walnut backstool;
highest bid of the day takes home a spiff piece of furniture.

Pictures of the various raffle prizes can be found at the Oak raffle web site:
