<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greeting fellow Chirurgeons,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> I am sure that by now many of
you have heard all kinds of rumors from and about Pennsic. Let me tell you
what I know currently as heard directly from the Society
Chirurgeon.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>1. The Mayor (autocrat) of Pennsic, with the
blessing of the Society Seneschal, shut down chirurgeon's point at midnight
Saturday night. The chirurgeons have been told to stand down and are not
allowed to wear the insignia (ie baldrics) or work as chirurgeons for the
duration of the event. There is an EMS crew that will be providing all
care for the remainder of the event.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>2. <U><STRONG>We have NOT been told to stop being
chirurgeons at anything or any event other than Pennsic.</STRONG></U> Keep
doing the good job that you all do until told otherwise--that's an order!
;-)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>3. There are rumors flying EVERYWHERE.
I will keep you informed of situations as I hear them from DAME ELEANOR, not
from what the SCA-Chirurgeon list says or from gossip. Please do not add
to the gossip if at all possible. If you have questions, please contact
me, not the SC, and definitely not the BoD. I will keep all of you
informed as much as I know.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Please, chirurgeons, keep calm
and vigilant. Until the SC or the BoD tells me otherwise, all of you are
still warranted and can work at any event of your choosing (other than
Pennsic) per the Society and Kingdom Law. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
