[Northkeep] Grub n Garb

[Jerry and Teresa Herring]

Northkeep, Friends, and Family,

Last night there was in our lands a grand gathering, banners flew, drums 
beat, skilled warriors met in combat with honor, and the food delighted the 
pallet,  but most of all there was friendship and fun. We had a wonderful 
time visiting with all the people who attended the Grub and Garb. Almost 
seventy people made an appearance, how outstanding is that? We are so proud 
to see this monthly gathering continuing to grow and develop. Our thanks to 
Lady Montega for bringing about such a fine idea and making it happen.

Northkeep's War chest was opened and all those who were in attendance took 
home with them some booty brought  back from the war. All those who went to 
serve, in what ever manner, at Gulf War XVI have our thanks. We should 
spread their word fame far and near to honor the brave veterans.

We met several new people that we hope to see again; David, John, Shawn, 
Clint, Angie, and others. All of these folk seemed wide eyed and full of 
wonder at what they saw. It is good to have so many new people expressing an 
interest in what we do. We all should make a point of saying hello and 
welcoming these new folk when ever they are seen. We also met many folk who 
have not been seen in Northkeep for some time and to them all we give a warm 
and most sincere welcome.

With so many new people this might be a good time to plan a newcommers 
class? Maybe a beginners garb making class? These classes might be nice to 
try and get into the schedule between now and Castellan so that we could 
invite the new people to attend Castellan and wear their new attire and show 
off their new skills.

With the kindest of regards we remain,
Ian Dun Gillan and Kelandra Carmichael
Baron and Baroness of Northkeep
Lord and Lady of Chemin Noir
