Unto the populace of fair Atlantia,

    As many of you have undoubtedly read by now, Atlantia's 
Pelicans are heading a project to purchase a pavilion for the 
kingdom.  In December's Acorn, Master Tirloch and I published a 
notice giving out some very general details.  This missive and the 
announcement that will follow in next month's Acorn will spell out 
the details and make a few changes.
    First: We are raising money for the purchase of a 20' x 30'
    rectangular pavilion.  The purchase price will include the walls, 
poles, ropes, and stakes.  The pavilion will be purchased at a 
substantial discount, from Panther Primitives.  Many of you already 
own Panther tents and are well aware of their quality and 
workmanship.
    Second: For $10 an approximately 5 1/2" by 5 1/2" shield 
bearing your device will be painted  and sewn on to a dag.  (Sorry, 
but for uniformity's sake we will not sew lozenges on the pavilion.)
    Third:  There are 270 (out of approximately 300) spaces available 
for purchase by the populace of the kingdom.  The remainder will 
be held in reserve and the details of their final disposition will be 
made available in the near future.  Because a number of people felt 
very strongly that the first come first served method of selection was
unfair, and because we felt that demand would far outstrip supply, 
we are changing the way we will determine who has the opportunity 
to get their device on the pavilion.
    Effective immediately, Master Tirloch and I will take requests
    from any person, with registered arms, for inclusion in a drawing 
for a spot on the pavilion.  What we need from you is a LETTER 
(snail mail is still more reliable than e-mail) with mundane name, 
SCA name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, if you 
have one, and how you would like to be contacted if selected.  (If 
you choose to be notified by mail please include a self addressed 
stamped envelope or post card.)  Please do NOT send money at 
this time.  Let me say that again...DO NOT SEND MONEY.  (If you 
are selected we will then ask you for money.)  Master Tirloch and I 
will still be available at kingdom 12th Night and University to  
personally accept submissions.
    Fourth: Upon notification that you have been selected, we will 
ask you send us a check for $10 (made out to the Kingdom of 
Atlantia), the blazon of your device, and a drawing of your device, 
preferably on a 5 1/2" x 5 1/2" shield.
    Fifth:  We are changing the schedule for the fund raiser.  We will 
take names from now until the Thursday before the Kingdom Arts 
and Sciences Festival (February 28th, 2002).  At that time we will 
hold a drawing and everyone selected will be notified by March 9th 
and given until March 30th to submit their device and payment.  
We will also choose a number of alternates who will be given first 
shot at any unclaimed spaces.
    Just a couple of final details.  Groups of people may get together 
and submit their requests in one letter.  Each person may only 
make one submission.  If you are selected, and so desire, you 
may use your spot for a registered household device.
    I hope this answers most questions on the topic.  If not please
contact either Master Tirloch, at tirloch at cox.rr.com, or myself 
(Master Aelfred) at ttoich at earthlink.net.
    I request that any seneschals that receive this e-mail pass it
along to their respective groups to ensure the widest possible 
dissemination.
    Thank you for your time.

In service to Atlantia,

    Aelfred of Cres
