[MR] Stefan's Florilegium files for April

[Olwen the Odd]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for April, detailing what is  new 
in the Florilegium this month.

I have recently put a copy of my regular Florilegium flyer on the  website. 
There is a pointer to it in PDF format on the top page of  the site under 
RECENT NEWS. This is formatted so that it can be  printed on both sides of a 
single-page handout. Please feel free to  download this, print it out and 
give it to SCA newcomers or to others  who might be interested.

I wish to offer a big Vivat! to Isabelica Gonzales de Guadalupe in  
Ansteorra, who has recently joined me in updating the files in the  
Florilegium. Several of the file updates this month are her work.

I am always looking for additional help with the Florilegium.  Everything 
from some web work such as creating icons, to helping seek  out additional 
articles, to helping edit the files. If you would like  to join the 
Florilegium team, please contact me.

Thanks,
   Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  collecting 
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  lists and articles 
submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  this information 
available to others, I have placed this information  in a series of files I 
call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  article that 
would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  it to me for 
possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for  more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  me 
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  editing and 
web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  another 
way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  the site. Any 
donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  overhead costs of 
keeping the site running.
