[Elfsea] Cookout? WAS --> RE: Burned out

[Christine Huse]

Oh, yes! I agree with this idea completely too! So much in fact, I'll be
more than happy to volunteer to help coordinate this effort! This sounds
like so much fun!

It would be so nice to have a picnic of sorts with everyone. We can all sit
down and visit as friends...no worries over places to be at a certain time,
politics, or circles! We could play volleyball, frisbee, yard darts,
baseball or any assortment of non-SCA outdoor games!

We could have it on a Saturday (as Ceatta suggested) at Randol Mill Park.

Please! Please! Please! Let's do this! We all need a break!
Maria
