<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>Greetings, Milady. As I am more than a little
new in the Barony, I don't know if I can say "Welcome to the Barony" as I'm
still in the "being welcomed" stage myself. However, if your experience
here is anything like mine as a newcomer, you will find people here to be open,
kind, thoughtful, helpful, welcoming, and polite. This Barony is much
larger than my old one with more neat and interesting activities than you can
shake a stick at. The problem will probably be choosing between all the
neat stuff to do, rather than hunting something up.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>I'm a fencer, a herald, and an aspiring heavy
fighter. If you have any interests in those areas, look me
up.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG></STRONG></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2><STRONG>Although I am new to the Barony and Kingdom, I am not
new to the SCA. If there is any sort of advice I can give, please do not
hesitate to let me know. You my reach me by e-mail here, or at my home,
703-719-0997.</STRONG></FONT></DIV>

Member</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>
<DIV>Hi guys!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I just signed up to this list and wanted to say hi.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am a mom of 5 little girls; one is joining SCA with me.</DIV>
<DIV>I'm your typical role-playing gamer and do computer support for
work. I work nights, so working certain things into the business week
schedule might be rough. I am happy to volunteer for things others can't
do when they're stuck at work during the day though!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm interested in archery, cooking, and jewelry making. My mom
taught me to shoot when I was a kid, although I haven't touched a bow in ages
and am curious where you would go to practice or what the laws in VA
are??</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I am used to cooking for my large family, and am excited to learn some
period recipes.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I used to do beading in college as a hobby, because I'm so awful at
sewing that will probably be my A&S contribution.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>My oldest daughter interested in joining is Kathryn. She is 10 and
loves history and reading. She's also into RPG's, although she thought
the SCA could teach her how to do spells. I wonder if there's something
in the A&S department that might be like alchemy or something? She
also wants to learn archery.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Look forward to meeting everyone. I knew Kevin Maxson in college,
and have worked with his dad for years.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Best wishes,</DIV>
<DIV>Sharon</DIV>
