[Ponte Alto] Volunteering for Chalice

[egeorges]

Unto the Noble and Helpful Populace of Ponte Alto does Luce Antony Venus,
Autocrat for Chalice of the Sun God send Greetings!

Some of you have seen the volunteer sign up sheets for Chalice of the Sun
God and have graciously added your name to the list of people volunteering.
For that I am eternally grateful, and I will be sending you a reminder email
so that you can remember what you signed up for.

For those who have not availed themselves of this glorious opportunity,
below are the various job descriptions available to Chalice volunteers.  If
you would like to help out with Chalice, please provide to me at
scalucia at cox.net: Which job(s) you'd like to do, your mundane name, your SCA
name, your phone number, and your email.  Also, if you sign up for Troll or
Autocrat's Assistant, and you are planning on participating in other
activities that day, let me know so that your shift may be worked around it.
Assistance with the jobs that I have identified as REALLY needing people
would be most helpful.
