[ANSTHRLD] Help wanted, Saturday in Austin.

[Bordelon, Wendel]

Greetings worthy helpful and generous heralds of Ansteorra!

This weekend Mari, Daniel and I are attempting to get caught
up on all the filing and labeling needed for the SCA Herald's
office (Laurel Sovereign of Arms).  And we sure could use
the help.

No heraldic knowledge required.  All you need to be able to
to is either sort by alphabet or use a rubber stamp or even
just apply stickers to folders.

We always have fun when we work together.  This will be no
exception.  There is a pool to play in when you need a break.
Munchies and snacks to keep us all going and dinner for the
helpers.

If you have some time Saturday 11AM until ... please come
help.  This invitation is not limited to the order of the
Heralds but is an open request for all the hands we can find.

Besides, I just knew this group of people would be where I
would find the most helpful, stylish and worthy of our
Kingdom :-)

Mari will give directions shortly. (see below)

Greetings!

As Francois described, we will be having a paper-pushing and pool party at
my house in Austin this Saturday.  The goal is to get caught up on all the
outstanding paperwork for the Laurel Sovereign of Arms office.  Things that
will be going on:

- putting printouts in folders
- putting stickers on file folders
- stamping forms
- putting files into file cabinets
- sorting forms
- other bits of filing if we get done with the stuff listed above

and, of course, eating, generally having a good time, and hanging out in
the pool (an above-ground pool; 18' diameter, 4 & 1/2 feet tall - great for
soaking, water gun fights, whatever).

My guess is that we need to update and file somewhere over 800 folders, so
we need all the help we can get.  If you or anyone you know is interested
in helping out, please let me know so I can make sure we have enough food
and the right types of soda, etc.  As Francois noted, this is an open
invitation to anyone.   Crash space is available on a first come basis.

Note to those people who are allergic to cats: I have five cats (well, four
cats and a half-grown kitten).  Given my own allergies, I keep the place
clean.  But with that much fur, I could vacuum on Saturday morning and
there would still be fur on stuff in no time at all.  (The filter for
allergens in the air conditioner system takes care of most of the airborne
stuff.)

I'm attaching directions to my house to the bottom of this message.  If
anyone needs directions from a different area, please let me know and I'll
provide them.

My home phone is (512) 250-1542 if anyone has questions.

Thanks!
