<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Greetings
unto the Great and Noble Populace of Stierbach, from your Baron and Baroness,
Flaithri and Rhonwen.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>With
just under a month until War of the Wings we wanted to reach out to you and
make sure you knew the plans in motion and didn’t have any questions for
us. There is a lot going on, and still a few things left to do that we
need help with. This letter is full of information for everyone that will
be attending the event.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

happening at WoW. Get in touch with them or us if you have any questions

<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
are in desperate need of retainers for this event, as well as heralds.
There will be a dedicated person to watch the boys so don’t be afraid we will
leave them with you. With the busy schedule on Saturday we think that we
will need a minimum of 2 retainers with us in shifts all day, a Herald for the
procession, and a Herald for Evening Court procession. This can be the
same herald, but does not need to be. We will be together most of the day
Saturday and if you are interested in retaining please contact us as there may
be specific times that would work best for you. In the morning we will
need people who are capable of helping us quick change between heavy and rapier
armor, and then out of rapier into regular garb for the rest of the day.
Then right before court we will get dressed again. That would make 4
armor/garb changes in one day for those keeping count. Other than that it
is regular retainer duty all day. If you would like to stand in court and
serve as a retainer please let us know that too.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If
you are camping, and need a place to rest your head, please feel free to sign
up to camp with our Barony. Remember you must pre-register to camp with
the Barony. If you do not pre-register you will be in singles
camping. Our land Agent is Lady Cairistiona (garadh@verizon.net). She
will be setting up the camp and sending reminders to people about tent sizes and
such. Also, there is a meal plan that Mistress Blitha is putting together
for those camping with us if you would like to get in on that.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
event is more than just the multitude of martial activities and A&S.
Last year the volunteer point is what won the war, and it is just as vital this
year too. For every 2 hours a person gives of their time they will
receive a ticket to place in the collection jar for Stierbach. The side
with the most tickets wins! As of today there is still a need for marshals
of all flavors, water bearers, clean-up crew, and gate staff to name a few.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Trick-or
treating will once again take place this year. Stierbach will be handing
out treats under our pavilion on the field. If you would like to help
out, or donate store bought (sorry no homemade treats) to our basket, that
would be wonderful. The kids are going to have a great time going from
merchant to merchant and pavilion to pavilion. Please note that kids will
not be allowed to go into private camps for treats. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Heraldry
is awesome and dear to our hearts. We hope that you will process with us
in the Heraldic procession Saturday morning. Wear your colors, wear
baronial colors, wear canton colors, fly all your banners, and march
proudly. We have favors commemorating this event that we offering anyone
who would like one just stop us before or at the event to get yours if you
haven’t already. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Saturday
night after Royal court we will be having a party in the Baronial Encampment to
celebrate the great time we had with our friends. We have been told a
bardic is being organized, which means the more the merrier! If there is
someone who would like to be the lead on this please let us or Cairstiona
know. She is collecting money through the sale of the cook book to help
with the cost of food and beverage for the hospitality. Donations of
finger foods and snack type items will also be welcomed and appreciated.
We will join in the festivities as soon as Their Majesties Dinner for the
Baronage is complete.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNoSpacing><span style='font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>We
are putting together small gift bags to give to our allies as a thank
you. If you have small trinkets, beads, buttons, candies, or anything
else that would fit into roughly a 6” square drawstring bag that you would be
willing to donate that would be wonderful. All donations for the gift
bags need to be to us before the next Baronial meeting on October 6<sup>th</sup>.
You can drop items to us at the Sudentorre Practice on Monday nights, the
Barony Practice on Tuesday nights, Metal Smith’s, mail them, or call to set-up
a time to meet.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

will be further emails in the next few weeks with updates and pleas for help we
are sure. Please feel free to write or call us if you have any questions
about the event and we will do our best to answer or find the answer for
you. We are looking forward to standing with you at WoW!</span><o:p></o:p></p>
