<DIV>Greetings Julie/Freydis,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We in Ponte Alto are a rather rambunctious lot. We usually meet two or three times a week depending on the week, for fighting and A&S. At the moment you can find the heavy fighters meeting behind Tyson-Pimmit Library on Sunday and Thursday (direction on Ponte Alto's web site are available via <A href="http://www.sca.org">www.sca.org</A>). Fencers as well, except on Thursday when they have an indoor site at Shreve Elelmentary School. Then again lady Perinell and lady Renata's host a Scriptorum night once/twice a month and Lady Lucia hosts a New Comer's night or garb making night for those new to the SCA. What ever your interest I'm sure Ponte Alto or one of our surrouonding Baronies (Strovik and Stierbach) has something to interest you.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Come play with us. I hope to meet you soon. :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Lady Maria-Therese de Normand</DIV>
<DIV>Seneschal, Ponte Alto</DIV>
<DIV>Fighter chic, artisan and broken arm girl :) :(</DIV>
