[Northkeep] Viking demo for Jan 8

[Cody Chezem]

Well, I am literally about 3 blocks from this place. I am sure I can fill a full 2 hours on this subject. I should even beable to lay hands on my books. I am willing to do this thing, even take the lead. So if the Demo Coordinator. Seneshal, and/or Their Exellancies will decide if this the approach would like let me know and I will contact Ms. Marshall.

Thanks so much for the contact information.

My high school class meets on Mondays from 8.30 a.m. until noon. We 
usually use 1 1/2 hour of that time in English and the rest in history. 
If your schedule would allow you to attend that morning, we could 
arrange our schedule to fit yours. Any length presentation within a two 
hour time frame is suitable for us--30 minutes or the full two hours--it 
depends on what you want to share.

Our class focuses on the Medieval period. The students have already 
studied the role the Barbarians played in the fall of the Roman Empire, 
and will spend this week concentrating on the Norsemen after that time. 
Any information you choose to share is greatly appreciated. We are 
studying European expansion, Norse mytholoogy, everyday life and customs 
and the Edda.

Our co-op meets at the First United Methodist Church near 10th and Main. 
We enter through the Youth and Family Center which faces 10th st. 
Parking is free. From that entrance, take the elevator on the right to 
the second floor. Head left out of the elevators through a lounge area 
through the double doors on the right. From their you cross over Main 
Street. Take a right at the next double doors and go to the second 
classroom. I know it sounds confusing, but there are plenty of people 
around who could escort you to the proper room if you get lost.

If Monday morning does not work, I would also be willing to set another 
meeting time. It is more difficult to get all of my students in 
attendance then, as schedules will certainly conflict. I would certainly 
love to have the kids meet some reenactors, as we have learned so much 
from them in the past. As a semester project, the will be researching 
and doing their own impression. Who knows, they may fill the SCA ranks soon.

Thanks so much for your willingness to make history come alive for these 
teenagers.

The problem with today is; They just will not let you load the boys (and girls) up in the boat and sail down the coast to burn someone's dam village down.
