populace meeting is typically more of a social gathering than other month's
meetings. While we do have a little business to cover at the beginning of the
meeting, we will have plenty of time for fun as well! If there is interest, we
talked about having some games or activities for those that would like to
participate. My original thought was to have some fun, no-armor/training
required indoor versions of our typical competitions (along the lines of nerf
crossbows, indoor axe or "snowball" throwing, pool noodle sword
fighting or jousting, coloring or something else artsy). While I can help with
planning and providing materials and prizes, we need people to run the
activities at the meeting. If you are interested in running a fun game or have
ideas for other less involved activities, please send me an email or private
message on Facebook! The room we have at the library is large enough to
accommodate activities as well as leave room for those that just want to watch
or chat!</span></p>
