[Rhonda Hays]

Come by the table and grab a leather pouch for the prizes or we can discuss
what you want then as well....we are trying to merchant our way out of this
leather stash that just keeps growing and growing,.....

> My cousins, as you make preparations this week for Steppes Warlord, please
> keep our canton in mind.  There are always a great many wond'rous
merchants
> at Warlord, and Loch Ruadh could do with some of their wares for prizes to
> be given at Lughnasad.  Please reserve a bit of your change, be it only $5
> or $10, and plan to purchase something to donate to the prize trove for
> Lughnasad.  To date, I have only the following items donated:
>
> 2 ceramic goblets, green, with off-white Celtic crosses, from Domhnall,
>
> a quart jar of unpasturized, raw honey from my bees,
>
> and as much iron I can talk Logan into donating.  Keep in mind, he's a
very
> cheap... er, thrifty Scot, but I've promised him much word fame, so I may
> yet get a tripod, rather than just a set of shish kabob skewers, from him.

> I'm going to check out the prices on baskets at Michael's and Garden
Ridge,

> Loch Ruadh has many creative, caring people.  Your donation can be as
small
> or as large as you can afford.  Your gift does not have to be new.  I will
> be at Elfsea Moot tonight, and will be accepting donations.  I will also
try
> to be at Steppes Warlord.  If you cannot make something or perform a
service
> by Lughnasad, consider buying something at Warlord to donate.  Make our
> canton proud!  Let's make Loch Ruadh the subject of much word fame!
>
> If you donate something, please let me know your full SCA name (and
