[David Jordan]

M'Lords/Ladies,

We of the Shire of Tempio, as hosts for the Queen's Champion Tourney, do
invite your attendance at this event and encourage your participation in the
Feast to be held Saturday evening.  If you reserve your place(s) at the
feast early, there is a goodly savings on the cost; $ 5.00 per person paid
in advance, $ 7.00 if paid on site.

As you plan to attend and enjoy this fellowship with our Good Queen and her
court, please send your reservations in early!  Email is good, but snail
mail will guarantee your savings!

vr,  Roanne of Tempio
