[Tom Rettie]

Greetings Gentle Atlantians,

The time has come once again to refill the Oak's coffers so that we may
continue to publish Atlantia's Arts & Sciences newsletter. As you know, on
January 5th, 2002, Atlantia will celebrate Twelfth Night in Dun Carraig
(Hollywood Fire House, Hollywood, MD). During these festivities, a raffle
and sealed-bid auction will be held to raise funds for The Oak.

About the Raffle

The raffle will be a "Marinus-style basket raffle," with each ticket
costing $2.00. Simply purchase as many tickets as you wish, write your name
(or the name of the person you wish to win) on the back of each, and place
each ticket in a basket next to the item you desire.

Among the items that will be up for raffle are:

Genuine Atlantian University Varsity Cambok T-Shirts donated by
Earl Dafydd ap Gwystl.

About the Auction

A sealed-bid auction will also be held for a turned walnut triangle
backstool (and possibly other items). Simply write your bid on a slip of
paper and place it in the lockbox. At the end of the day, the person with
the highest bid on that item wins.
