[MR] Atlantia Digest, Vol 101, Issue 98

[Rick Allison]

Well said Lord Mungo,
Perhaps My ofer got lost in the mix of the chain...I hope this gets noticed and will move us from discussion to action:
 
I too have some experience with both adults and youth with these issues.
 
I suggest we creat a contact list of individuals with some training, desire and experience to assist these types of gentles into the SCA.
Perhaps a loose guild with an updated contact list to be used for reference by these folks or their sponsors/care givers/parents when they travel to different groups and events?
 
I will gladly stand as the first to be part of this, but must humbly admit maintianing a list or contact roll is not my forte or talent.
WHO WILL JOIN ME AS MENTORS AND GUIDES LOCATED THROUGH-OUT THE KINGDOM!!!!
 
Inservice
