Greetings to you this fine day!  Below you will find the complete flyer for 
this years' Knowne World Children's Fete at Pennsic XXXI.  As you know, such 
an enormous endeavor cannot happen without the help of volunteers who 
generously give of their time and their resources.   

Thank you to those baronies who have already promised to help.  To the other 
baronies, I humbly ask that you please help me reach my goal of garnering 
participation from every barony in Atlantia!  This does not mean you 
personally have to help.   If you know of gentles from your Barony who will 
be attending Pennsic and would be interested in helping, please pass this 
information on to them.  Feel free to pass this flyer on to your ministers of 
minors, seneschals, or post to other e-lists.  We are still in need of 
donations (candy, prizes), activities, and/or volunteers for general 
assistance.  We are also in need of fighters willing to do some boffer 
activities with the children. 

Thank you for your help.   

In Service to Atlantia -

Pray attend good gentles all. King Logan Ebonwoulfe & Queen Isabel Grimault, 
gracious Monarchs of Atlantia, extend an invitation to the children of the 
Known World to attend the 5th Annual Known World Children's Fête at Pennsic 
XXXI. 

The party is hosted by Their Atlantian Majesties and the Kingdom 
of Atlantia, though staffed by good gentles from throughout the known 
world. The party will take place in the Barn on Wednesday, August 14, 
2002 from 12:30 until 3:30 pm. The fête is designed for young people between 
the ages of four and fifteen. 

In keeping with the Children's Party of previous years, the 
afternoon will be filled with a variety of arts and crafts, ongoing 
activities and live performances to amuse and delight. Favorites from 
prior years such as mask making, face painting, boffer, and races will again 
occur this year as well as exciting new activities. Please be aware that we 
may 
be having some activities that involve the use of water this year, so 
dress your children appropriately if they will be participating in those 
activities. There will also be light snacks and drinks available for 
children and their parents (at sign-in parents must indicate any food 
allergies that children might have). 

We ask that those children ages four, five and six have an adult (or 
teen who is at least 14 years old) remain with them throughout the 
festivities. Older 
children should be checked on periodically by parents or guardians or 
older teens to ensure their safety and suitable behavior. In addition, 
all parents who leave their young Scadians at the party must register 
their whereabouts on a sign-up sheet prior to leaving and include any 
health, dietary or other concerns. If the child arrives with an adult 
but may leave the party unattended or with an adult who is not their 
parent/guardian, that must be noted at check-in as well. Children should 
be picked up no later than 3:35 p.m. Children should be properly 
identified with their name and the name of their parents on their person 
at all times. We ask that children do not bring personal articles with 
them while attending the Children's Fete, as the organizers will not be 
responsible for lost, broken or stolen items. 

This is assured to be another fun-filled festive occasion for 
the children of the Known World. We had a wonderful time last year and 
we hope to see all of last year's participants back along with many new 
faces. 

We also always need volunteers for the party. We are looking for 
individuals who are willing to be wandering or stationary performers 
(magicians, jugglers, puppeteers, storytellers, etc.). We need gentles 
who want to be sponsors of their own chosen activity or help with 
activities that need additional people. Gentles are needed to set up and 
help break down, and also to provide general help (i.e. escorts to the 
bathroom, signing in children, serving refreshments, wandering staff, 
etc.). We can never have too many people helping. 

Please remember that without the generous volunteers who give of their 
time and energy each year, the party would not happen.
