[MR] Fwd: Known World Children's Fete Help Needed Desperately (long)

[Suzanne Metzler]

Greetings to the Tavern!

Sorry to be off-topic but I wanted to make an announcement regarding the 
Known World Chidren's Fete -- due to various people's life emergencies, this 
announcement is coming out late and we are really in desperate need of help.

Please pass this on to other local and inter-kingdom lists.

*************
Pray attend good gentles all.  King Havordh Ætarbanni and Queen Mary-Grace 
of Gatland, gracious Monarchs of Atlantia, extend an invitation to the 
children of the Known World to attend the 4th Annual Known World Children's 
Fête at Pennsic XXX.

        The party is hosted by Their Atlantian Majesties and the Kingdom of 
Atlantia and will take place in the Barn on Wednesday, August 15, 2001 from 
1 pm until 4 pm. The fête is designed for young people between the ages of 
four and fifteen.

        In keeping with the Children's Party of previous years, the
afternoon will be filled with a variety of arts and crafts, ongoing
activities and live performances to amuse and delight. Favorites from prior 
years such as face painting and boffer will occur this year as well as new 
activities like "siege the castle."  Please be aware that we may be having 
some activities that involve the use of water this year, so dress your 
children appropriately if they will be participating in those activities.

There will also be light snacks and drinks available for children and their 
parents (at sign-in parents must indicate any food allergies that children 
might have).

We ask that those children ages four, five and six have an adult (or teen 
who is at least 14 years old) remain with them throughout the festivities. 
Older children should  be checked on periodically by parents or guardians or 
older teens to ensure their safety and suitable behavior.  In addition, all 
parents who leave their young Scadians at the party must register their 
whereabouts on a sign-up sheet prior to leaving and include any health, 
dietary or other concerns. If the child arrives with an adult but may leave
the party unattended or with an adult who is not their parent/guardian, that 
must be noted at check-in as well. Children should be picked up no later 
than  4:05 p.m. Children should be properly identified with their name and 
the name of their parents on their person at all times. We ask that children 
do not bring personal articles with them while attending the Children's 
Fete, as the organizers will not be responsible for lost, broken or stolen
items.

This is assured to be another fun-filled festive occasion for the
children of the Known World. We had a wonderful time last year and we hope 
to see all of last year's participants back along with many new faces.

We also always need volunteers for the party. We are looking for
individuals who are willing to be wandering or stationary performers
(magicians, jugglers, puppeteers, storytellers, etc.). We need gentles who 
want to be sponsors of their own chosen activity or help with activities 
that need additional people. Gentles are needed to set up and help break 
down, and also to provide general help (i.e. escorts to the bathroom, 
signing in children, serving refreshments, wandering staff, etc.). We can 
never have too many people helping.

If you would like to help, or need additional information, but don't
have a specific activity that you would like to sponsor, please check the 
KMoM website (http://kmom.atlantia.sca.org) for more information or please 
contact Lady Tehair MacDiarmada ((301) 474-3344 before 10 pm, e-mail: 
kmom at atlantia.sca.org. Camping with Greenwood On Wye).

If you have a specific activity in mind that you would like to
sponsor, please contact Duchess Seonaid ni Fhionn ((910) 949-3143 before 9 
pm, or Lady Tehair MacDiarmada((301) 474-3344 before 10 pm, e-mail: 
kmom at atlantia.sca.org.

Please remember that without the generous volunteers who give of
their time and energy each year, the party would not happen.

please check the Atlantian KMoM website for a complete listing of what we 
have planned for the party as of this moment and an estimate on how many 
people are needed to run each station. You can see we are desperately in 
need of help!).  I have listed the volunteers we have next to the activity 
that they volunteered for.  http://kmom.atlantia.sca.org (tab for pennsic
