[MR] WoW - Where does your roll-call start?

[Rachel/Rozsa]

In 1625 Jan Cornelisson Klyn left Holland and came to New Amsterdam. Here, 
he married and woman whose name is lost to history but who begins my personal 
roll-call. The one thing about her is that she died in 1632 of the "Nunns 
illness". So it is recorded in Jan's household records. 

This nameless woman was just 28 years old and she was my 
great-great-great-great ... 10 greats grandmother. (gotta love those Dutch & Germans for keeping 
such good records!)

Of the women in my family whom I've actually known, my great grandmother, 
both of her daughters, four of their daughters, two of their daughters and my 
aunt have had run-ins with various annomalies of breast tissue, some benign, 
some malignant. . . all frightening.

How has breast cancer touched your life?

At War of the Wings every person can help win this battle against Breast 
Cancer in a myriad of ways. 

At (PLEASE NOTE TIME CHANGE) 9 pm on Friday Oct 20, Duke Logan Ebonwoulfe 
shall sponsor a Heavy Torchlight Tourney for which each combatant will pay $2 
to benefit breast cancer research. 

Also at 9 pm on Friday, there will be a Torch Light Shoot on the Archery 
Range. Entry fee will be $2 to benefit breast cancer research.

During this tourney, Lady Allegranza Marcovaldi shall offer soup and drink 
for sale. Donations of foodstuffs and volunteer help will be gratefully 
accepted. Contact Lady Allegranza at allegranza AT roanwoulfe DOT com for details. 

Asszony Bessenyei Rozsa, co-autocrat of the war, is coordinating the 
creation of themed baskets to be raffled. Donations of goods to create the baskets 
are sought. Baskets will be created based on what items are received between 
now and then by Rozsa. Suggestions might include baskets for fighters, new 
members, feast gear, textiles, scribal work, books and so on. Contact Asszony 
Rozsa at qchell AT earthlink DOT net for details or to donate. 

In addition, a jar will be placed in prominence at the event. Monies put in 
the jar and all proceeds from the tourney, food vending and basket raffle 
shall be donated to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 

Lady Annora Hall is sponsoring an A&S competition . . . the Best Use of 
Pink, to be determined by Populace Vote. Lady Annora shall make a donation in the 
name of the winner of this competition to the Susan G. Komen Foundation. 

One in seven women will be diagnosed with the Nuns’ Disease in their 
lifetimes . . . 2.3 million women in the New World live with this disease right now, 
not knowing they have it, having survived it or currently fighting it. 

Survival rates have gone from zero to 86 percent or more when the cancer is 
detected early. 

We can help make that better. This is a battle we can win.
