> Greetings unto the List!
> 
> The winds of war are upon us!  Estrella War is but a mere 2 months away and
> before we know it, we will be traveling to meet our brothers and sisters at
> arms upon the field of battle at Estrella. 
> 
> As we all know it takes more than just fighters to put on a war.  It takes
> volunteers willing to donate a couple of hours of their time to help the war
> effort so that all might enjoy!  To this end I have agreed to coordinate
> gate/troll volunteers for the Kingdom of Caid at Estrella War.  Some weeks
> ago the Troll/Gate autocrat issued a missive requesting that the major
> participating kingdoms sponsor a day at gate and help provide volunteers.
> When I contacted the Gate/Troll autocrat, I was saddened to hear that to
> date, not one kingdom had responded to that call. 
> 
> Therefore, I ask of those who will be attending Estrella War to please
> volunteer 2 hours of your time to help with gate activities.  Currently,
> Caid is sponsoring a 12 hour block at Gate on Thursday, February 19, 2006
> from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m.  There are 2 hour shifts and each shift requires 4
> people.  A mere 24 people will cover 12 hours at gate!  As I mentioned
> before I have volunteered to coordinate the shifts and I have personally
> pledged to work the entire 12 hours if I cannot find enough volunteers to
> assist in gate.  Now I cannot imagine that this should be the case, for I
> know how wonderful the populace is from the Kingdom of Caid.   Let us show
> brothers and sisters in Atenveldt that the Kingdom of Caid is willing to do
> our part to help put on a great War. 
> 
> Shifts at Gate/Troll will be as follows:
> 
> 8a-10a          4 people
> 10a-12p        4 people
> 12p-2p          4 people
> 2p-4p            4 people
> 4-6p              4 people
> 6p-8p            4 people
> 
> Gate/Troll asks that in each shift there be a warranted officer or a person
> experienced in handling  money either in their modern life/job or in the SCA
>  
> 
> The Gate/Troll autocrat also wished me to share that she was grateful beyond
> words that Caid would be willing to help with the War effort. 
> 
> So I ask you, oh generous souls of Caid, to please contact me if you are
> able to volunteer just 2 hours of your time to help with the War effort.  I
> have worked Gate/Troll at other wars and it is a fun place to be...where you
> get to meet and greet those who come to Estrella.  If you are not going to
> be arriving until after Thursday, February 19, but would still like to
> volunteer, please contact me with the times you will be available and I will
> coordinate with the Gate/Troll autocrat for a shift for you. 
> 
> Please feel free to forward this missive to all other email lists, etc. 
> 
> I look forward to hearing from those attending Estrella War from this great
> Kingdom.  Let us show the other Kingdoms just how generous the people of
> Caid are!  If you have any other questions or comments, please do not
> hesitate to contact me.
