[Namron] Re: The Black Death

[Jennifer]

Well, I was already feeling guilty for being so bitchy in my post in
response to Lady Isobo's thoughtful message about making new comerers
welcome to our society.  It is an area of concern, and I do believe we
should all address it.  I do believe that the hospitaler should be more
active in this matter, and I popped off about that instead of making
constructive comments.  I apologise and offer a suggestion, because I wish
to be paart of the solution, not the problem.

Perhaps we could devote one of the Populace meetings to a new comers night
occaisionally.  We could all dress up and bring our goodies to show off.
Maybe the Herald could take some extra time to explain the duty of each
officer as they are called to give reports.  This would allow us to have an
activity geared to new comers that we can all invite people to attend that
we want to give a taste of the SCA too.  It will also let us show off for
each other.

it in. I haven't been in the SCA long, but have run into the same problem
before, I just didn't verbalize it on the list anywhere.  It is a turn off
when it seems that all you hear at times is complaining and whining and what
you see are adults acting like kids,(and not in a good way) I have also
found a place that I fit in, but you have reminded me of how to treat the
other "newbies" that I meet.
