[Moo] Atlantian 30th Celebration - Information

[SiegfriedMcClure at aol.com]

Greetings to the Barony and her Cantons!
 
I wanted to send out a local message to you regarding recent activities  
concerning Stierbach's event for 2011.
 
In case you haven't heard, Stierbach won the bid to host Atlantia's 30th  
birthday celebration.  The date is set for Labor Day, September 2-5  2011.  
Our initial site was to be the Virginia State Fairgrounds, just  north of 
King's Dominion.  For various reasons, this site appears to no  longer be 
viable.  This past Friday, I had a site walk-through at "James  Madison's 
Montpelier" with my wife and Their Excellencies.  The visit went  well, and this 
seems to be a wonderful alternate location.  I  am expecting a contract to be 
sent to me before the next Barony  meeting.
 
The point of this message is to lay out the potential changes to the event, 
 and give you an opportunity to comment.  Any constructive comments are  
welcome on the lists.  Any destructive or inappropriate comments can be  sent 
to me directly, I'm willing to entertain any suggestions.

As far as I'm concerned, the pros well out number the cons.  Even  after 
adding in the required rentals, the overall cost for the site should  be less 
than before.

 
 
Please note that the site change has not been formally approved by anyone,  
as of yet.  Your comments may have a significant impact on that approval  
process.
 
 
 
In  service,

Siegfried McClure
