Black Oak Keep

[Koch, KA Kimberly 4384]

Greetings all!
Due to some kind of mistake or misunderstanding (I'm not sure of the 
circumstances yet myself), apparently the event announcement for Black Oak 
Keep's Championship Tourney did not make it into the November Black Star. 
 There is an ad in October's Black Star, but it is lacking both the menu and 
the directions.  I have included the correct ad text below.  If you or 
anyone you know is planning on going to this event, please help us spread 
the word and get the directions out (same site as last year, for anyone who 
went).  Feel free to call me or e-mail me with questions (or suggestions). 
 My phone number and e-mail address are both listed in the ad text.
BTW, both lists will be run by our great friend, Don Miguel, who has been 
both our Champion (last year) and our Cavalier (twice!)  We love him, 
really, but it sure would be nice to give someone else the job for a change. 
 ;)  We're a small group, but the event is always a lot of fun.   We'd love 
to see you there!
In service,
Ly Thyra
