[Ansteorra-announce] Stefan's Florilegium files for April

[Stefan li Rous]

Greetings to the Gentles of the Known World,

Here is a copy of my Florilegium article for April, detailing what is  
new in the Florilegium this month.

I have recently put a copy of my regular Florilegium flyer on the  
website. There is a pointer to it in PDF format on the top page of  
the site under RECENT NEWS. This is formatted so that it can be  
printed on both sides of a single-page handout. Please feel free to  
download this, print it out and give it to SCA newcomers or to others  
who might be interested.

I wish to offer a big Vivat! to Isabelica Gonzales de Guadalupe in  
Ansteorra, who has recently joined me in updating the files in the  
Florilegium. Several of the file updates this month are her work.

I am always looking for additional help with the Florilegium.  
Everything from some web work such as creating icons, to helping seek  
out additional articles, to helping edit the files. If you would like  
to join the Florilegium team, please contact me.

Thanks,
    Stefan

A Blending of the Past and Present

Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been  
collecting bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail  
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make  
this information available to others, I have placed this information  
in a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.

The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org

I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an  
article that would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send  
it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for  
more details.

I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping  
me maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials,  
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more  
details.

For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in  
another way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of  
the site. Any donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the  
overhead costs of keeping the site running.
