[Ponte Alto] Fall for the Book demo *Saturday*

[Shannon Smith]

Ok, So far, we have the following folks for the demo on Saturday:

Sorcha (and possibly Andrew)
Belphoebe and Marcellus
Ailleann, who is sometimes Reina
A few unnamed folks from the scriptorium?

    Should your name be on this list?  If I've missed you or you would like
to come and just haven't mentioned it yet, Please tell me so I don't start
to panic!  :)

****Any fighters?  The organizers of this event are offering us a  part of
University Drive to hold a fighter practice/demo.  If you would like to
come, please let me know so I can tell the organizers if we want it or not.
Thanks.

Sorcha  :)
