Dear fellow performers and bards You might wonder why I send you my information on encouraging people. Many of our chosen performing venues are advisers to Leaders and advisers to the people. We ourselves may not and do not take sides or get involved in political fights, but it is our duty to give out wisdom. This is a point of political wisdom that wouldn't hurt everyone to think about. We are having problems recruiting younger people. Many people think this is based on the changing modern world. I just believe we are not presenting ourselves properly. The performers in Ansteorra are mostly ( know not all) young adults. We should be able to give leaders insights to things that would attract more young people. I will be sending information to "the bards" so I can share some of my hard won wisdom. I will label and put it in a attached file in the future so you can read it or not at your wish. If you want to argue with me over the concepts please do it off-list or transfer the discussion to another list. I welcome debate. willow _____________________________________________________________ Click here to lower your monthly payments.
