<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS" size=4>Wasnt it great to see so many at Melees this year? And even though we had plenty of rain, at least the sandy ground is wonderful and the water soaked into the sand instead of leaving us with BORDERMUSH like when we were at Claiborne Park. <IMG src="http://cdn-cf.aol.com/se/smi/0201d260eb/08"></FONT></STRONG></DIV>

<DIV><STRONG><FONT face="Arial Unicode MS" size=4>If anyone knows of names and addresses not listed on the Parchment Pages, please send them to me soon so I can mail them an invitation to Twelfth Night. Lord Slovaczek said he has a few additions, but if you know any Newcomers, or anyone who might be interested in taking part in this most festive of events, send me their names and address. No site fee is required, and no feast fee. A covered dish is all that is required, plus feast gear to partake. There will be fighting, games, and lots of food and fellowship. You should get your invitation soon. Mark January 8 on your calendar at Tyrrell Park in Beaumont.</FONT></STRONG></DIV>
