[Ansteorra] Introductions

[DonnelShaw at aol.com]

Stephan,
There is a group now in Midlothian, right down the road from you. We call our 
selves Southern Steppes. We meet every other Wed. Night. It is mainly a bring 
your project you are working on. We have also been known to work on projects 
for local events.  This Wed. we will be getting ready for Elfsea Defender. I 
hope to have the guys in the garage working on armor and the scribes working on 
scrolls for the Youth combat tourney. Most of us are old timers and you will 
probably know us. I started in 1982 and my husband started in 1985. With it 
being Wed. night I know it might be hard for you to attend. But know we are here 
for you.

Ly Maili Donnel MacGregor.
