[Ansteorra-announce] This is so exciting! I just can't wait!

[D. Vandever]

Greetings!

I can not begin to tell you how excited I am about our Museum as the event
draws ever nearer. I have had a really good response from so many people. I
also have some very exciting news! I am in possession of some *very* early
newsletters from the very, very beginnings of our Kingdom....back when it
was a region and then a Principality! I sure hope every one of you who
attend Argent Anniversary get a chance to come by to see our History. There
will be plenty of chairs available so people can sit and read all about the
beginnings and where we've been. Many groups are bringing stacks of their
newsletters out of their archives and I can't wait to read some of them.

The museum is located in the Great Hall (AC!) on the wall opposite the
restrooms. It will be between the Heralds and the Scribes. Museum hours are
Thursday-Noon until 4 pm, Friday and Saturday-10 am until 4 pm. You may
bring your items to display at any time the museum is open. I will be
recording your contact information in the event that something gets left
behind. Pick up of museum items (unless for some reason you have to leave
earlier of course) will be from 4 pm until 5 pm on Saturday. Please be
prompt in picking up your ancient artifacts.

I've also had a great response from those gentles who were in at the very
beginning of our Kingdom. These great and noble persons have agreed to come
by the Museum to sit and chat with folks about "how it was" to put together
a whole new kingdom back in 1978 and before. This is a unique opportunity
for you to sit with some of the most well-known and prestigious members of
our Kingdom to hear their tales straight from them. There is no set schedule
so you may find one or a whole group of "founders" just ready to tell you
how it was.

Below is my list of groups who have and have not responded by contacting me
about what they want to display in the Museum. Those special gentles who
contacted me about bringing items to display for the Region and/or
Principality of Ansteorra are not shown, but rest assured that I know what
you are bringing.

If your group still has not contacted me, there is still time! I will be
checking my email thru Tuesday next week and can get you added anytime up
thru then. Remember, I'm asking each group to bring no more than 5 items due
to space limitations and to try to have some type of documentation to place
with it to explain its significance to your group and our history. Until I
greet you at Argent Anniversary, I remain...
In Service,
Annes
