<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thank you so much Your Excellency. Your assistance,
support, and supply donation are much appreciated.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Friends, I don't know how to say this delicately,
without sounding harsh or criticizing. Believe me, I'm trying. But straight to
the point of this message, I'm fairly disappointed in the lack of response I've
received from a barony so reputed for it's giving, helpful
nature</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2>.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Perhaps Rixend's or Genna's efforts have produced
more results from Elfsea. But as of today, only 2 people from Elfsea have
contacted me directly with an offer of supply donations.... being our good
Baron and the ever-giving Mistress Xene. The only donations delivered to me
were from non SCA'ers.... being my children, grandmother, aunt, and a close
neighborhood friend (<EM>whom is currently campaigning for more goods from her
church group</EM>). They all know these items are to initially be delivered to
SCA evacuees who've taken refuge in Louisiana & Mississippi... and still
gave to our cause without hesitation.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Friends, PLEASE help. I'm sure many of you
have donated to one cause or another already. But on my part of this supply
collection, less than 1% response from such a large barony is shocking... and I
know we all have things we don't use or wear that could be put to a better
cause. This is an effort that has been coordinated by several kingdoms, and
in Elfsea we are the largest collection point for Ansteorra. I'm going to
personally travel with the items into Louisiana & Mississippi to the
end-points to ensure their safe delivery... hopefully providing additional
protection for Sarah, who'll be driving most of the trip. This is not a scam,
but a perfectly legitimate crusade to help our friends in need. You're most
welcome to keep tabs on the progress through this site.: <A

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I'll attempt to collect goods at the Wed night
fighter practice in Bedford this week, permitting Disaster Relief training
doesn't overlap. I'll post an update to that information ASAP. Meanwhile, you
can contact me via any of the means below to establish a delivery time of your
goods. Also listed below is an updated list of items we wish
to collect. Please be advised Rix and I leave the afternoon of Sept 8th.
That's this coming Thursday. Very few items or truck loads, we will head out as
promised and scheduled. I thank you in advance for your
contributions.</FONT></DIV></FONT></DIV>

Lady Colete, HL Rixende and Centurion Tomas for their quick response and
personal contributions of time in organizing a relief effort from Elfsea. I will
be conveying 80 rolls of duct tape to them prior to their September 8th trip.
<BR><BR>I encourage all who can, to contact one of these good gentles with
whatever assistance you can render. For transferring your goods, Lady Colete is
available during the day and HL Rixende can be reached in the evenings. Please
contact them in advance (see below) to be sure they can still handle any goods
you may have to donate.<BR>I know many (myself included) would like to help more
directly but are unable to make the journey themselves. Let us make use of these
good folks and help maximize their efforts!<BR><BR>Thank you one and
