<P><FONT face="times new roman, new york, times, serif" color=#40007f size=3>The 'evil empire'/wally-world had/has spiral notebooks (81/2x11, wide rule, 70 pages) on sale for .05 cents each. I bought a few & have an idea of creating "cover art" to glue over the front of each spiral notebook (maybe even put color on the back as well) & depending on design/time, selling them with monies going to the barony (can be determined later). All I would need to ask is for brain/man-power. I already have the supplies & materials on hand. Anyone wanting to donate materials/supplies is always welecomed to do so too, but it is not manditory. Anyone interested, let me know by email/phone/person & we can start scheduling 'workshops' so that we may have some the sell at Defender...</FONT></P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I just wanted to throw out some ideas for this weekend. As always, I have plenty of instruments to demo or teach some music... or just have an open jam. Also, I would be happy to teach or demo some staff spinning / juggling. I have 2 extra staves, both about 4 feet long. If you are interested in bringing your own staff, it should be long enough to reach mid-chest from the ground. Any longer might be tough.</FONT></DIV>
