[Ansteorra] Re: Ansteorra Digest, Vol 28, Issue 1

Thu Sep 1 11:08:42 PDT 2005

I have just recieved an e-mail from members of SCA in the Baton Rouge/Denham
Springs area. She said that one thing in dire need is chainsaw blades for
cutting away tree debris. If anyone has a line to where they might be able
to get a few or several, please e-mail her at BLOODSNG at aol.com. Her SCA name
is Brighid O'Mannon, and her mundane name is Jeanette "Cookie" Jackson. She
and Duke Sir Sutan Bloodax (formerly of Ansteorra) are aiding people in that
area and plan on going into New Orleans to volunteer with the rescue
efforts. I am sure they would appreciate any assistance. They can both be
contacted thru the above e-mail.

can provide the infrastructure (person power and equipment for trash pick
up, port o johns, etc), access to and from the site is available, and area
food and supply stores are back up and running, then the best thing we could
possibly do is show up and spend as much money in the local area as

influx of 4000 or more people for a week, then what better way can we
provide a boost to the local economy?  By paying our camping fees we will
help the landowners recoup the cost of site recovery; our presence will
provide employment for all the wonderful people who pick up our trash,
deliver our ice, clean our port-o-johns, and haul us around site, and we
will help Lumberton and surrounding communities by making a point of buying
all our food and camping supplies from their local commercial establishments
rather than hauling it in.  Heck, perhaps we could assist the landowner with
site recovery by organizing site clean up activities during the event, or we
> could have a Red Cross or other type of donation point on site (and don't
think that even after six months it won't be needed...).  No doubt there are
many other ways we could capitolize on our presence to provide tremendous
support for the local economy.  It's worth thinking about...
