[Ponte Alto] Looking for a site for a Newcomer'sGarb/Sewing/Persona Development Night

[Nicholas Wizorek]

I would be willing to host an sewing day on the 12 if the weather is 
permitting.  It would be really nice to see if we could get a range of 
people that have different personas.  This would also be a good opportunity 
to get some of our new fencers fighting garb that is puncture resistant and 
teach them how to make their own armor.  Let me know what everyone thinks,
Nick
