[Elfsea] Fw: [Steppes] Sparking Imagination (School Demo)

[glen wilkerson]

This is a little short notice, but I just realized that this had not been posted to Elfsea, and although Venus is way south it is about halfway between the two baronies.

I think it starts about 8AM, for further information and directions please contact Lady Symonne.  Her information is at the bottom of the message.

>Pray how many of us remember (long ago in some cases such as mine) first reading the tales of knights of the round table or perhaps tales of the Crusades when once we were children?  Or perhaps we first dreamed of the days of Prince Valiant?  Mayhap tales of Robin Hood and his Merry Men?

>And, alas, how many of us have lamented the lack of youth activities such as reading, visiting the library, and dreaming of being a hero in the days of yore.  Today much is replaced by someone else's imagination of what it would be like in an electronic maze with characters of set ability.

>I come to you now with an opportunity to perhaps change these things in a small way.  Venus School District has a summer reading program this summer starting with knightly tales and dragons Tuesday, June 09.  In the hope of sparking younglings imagination my Lord Jaque the Spink has volunteered to display archery skills and other knowledge while in garb.  We hope to inspire the young to dream of such deeds and wonders as were once done in times of old.  Would there be any kind gentles out there that might be willing to come to our school and demonstrate such other skills as you might have- be they martial or Arts and Sciences-setting up about 8 or so and going til noon.  The school is far to the south on Hwy 67.  The pay is little more than a small bribe of lunch at my home in Midlothian when we are done but the who knows- you might just spark the imagination of one that will eventually become a writer, teacher, archeologist, or perhaps a
