[MR] Help Needed: Urgent

[Isolda de Crosthwaite]

Greetings Friends

My name is Isolda de Crosthwaite.  I live and play in Dun Carraig, but
mundanely, I work in Storvik for the Maryland-National Capital Park and
Planning Commission.  The Commission owns Patuxent River Park, a beautiful
site where Storvik has frequently and recently held their Novice Tourney.  I
received a call from one of the Naturalists at PRP this morning.  On
*this*Saturday, they have a kayaking event celebrating the landing of
Captain John
Smith, 400 years ago.  It will start at the park, and boaters will kayak
upriver to Mt. Calvert.  They are looking for someone in period costume to
welcome the boaters to Mt. Calvert.  They don't necessarily need to have
someone to play John Smith...just someone to greet people.  I realize that
this is just slightly out of our period, but I had hoped that someone who
does late period might be willing and have the time to help out.  I was told
the Park Manager is even willing to pay someone for their time.
If anyone is interested, please email me *no later than Thursday*, so that I
can put you in touch with the Park Manager at PRP.

Below I am posting the email I received telling me about the event.  You can
also look up Patuxent River Park and Mt. Calvert Historical Site at
www.pgparks.com.

Many Thanks for your time.

Regards,
Isolda
