: Greetings!
: 
: Since you asked--
: 
: I'd heard about this effort about a month ago, and got a message about
: how to help via the Slavic Interest Group.  Our canton is making
arrangements
: to scan pictures and maybe send some duct tape.
: 
: Cheers--

: ********
: The city I live in (Erlangen, Germany) has a partner city in Russia.
: With the support of the person who is ccordinating the cultural exchange
: we contacted and later made friends with people who are interested in
: SCA-style medieval reenactment.
: 
: They decided that they want to become part of the international SCA and
: are now trying to form a shire in the region of Vladimir (about 100
: miles east of Moscow).
: 
: Russia has no working mail system so mail has to be transported by
travellers
: which is organized with the help of the city of Erlangen.  This means that
: only letters with the max size and weight of approximately a magazine can
: be sent.
: 
: A few weeks ago two of our Russian friends visited us and we had
: chance to
: show them a little about the SCA.  They liked it very much and asked
: us to send them as much information as possible.
: 
: The current economic situation in Russia is quite bad for the majority
: of people (an SCA membership equals about a worker's monthly income, the
: head of a university earns about $100 a month) so several people in
: Drachenwald decided to donate things to help them getting started.  If any
: of you would like to support the future "Shire of Wildenburg"
: (Vladimir/Suzdal)
: please let us know.
: 
: My brother and I shall collect, sort and store all items and send/take
: them to
: Vladimir as soon as possible (car transport is not possible in winter).
: 
: I shall gather all electronic information, try to structure it and
: have it
: written on a CD-ROM.
: 
: 
: ***
: If you would like to help us:
: 
: Foremost the new shire needs information. They have no chance to go
: somewhere and learn and it's very difficult for anyone to go there and
: teach.
: The more grafics and pictures the material contains the better; videos
: would be exellent of cause. Because of the difficulties sending mail to
: Russia I'll collect all informatiomn I get in electronic form, try to
: stucture it and send it to Russia on CD-ROM. If you would like to
: contribute such text please use ASCII format if possible (I don't use
: MS-Windows).
: Besides real instruction material, like articles and classes, videos and
: pictures showing SCA activities like e.g. courts, tourneys or A&S
: competitions are very welcome because it is not very likely that more
: than a few people from Vladimir will be able to visit foreign events
: during the next years.
: The next things that would be useful are samples of armor that can be
: copied (even if it's not useable anymore) as well as patterns for garb.
: Of cause any usable material is welcome as well. Duct tape, strapping
: tape and rattan are not available in Vladimir.
: 
: Apart from SCA matters:
: If you would like to support our friends mundanely you might do this by
: sending old PC parts (from 286 upward). Most university teachers and
: students cannot afford to buy even used PC's and any help is
: appreciated.
: 
: It would nice to know who is helping us so a list of names or maybe even
: a picture of the senders would be nice - not neccessary of cause.
: 
: Lord Fionndaire Fearcuairt was so kind as to offer us his help, allowing
: mail to be send to his military address:
: 
: Robert Joyce
: PSC 9 Box 5163
: APO AE 09123-5163
: 
: Please do not write anything but this and your (senders) address on the
: outside of the package!!  ( a note saying "for Wildenburg" can be placed
: inside!)
: 
: Thank you very much for your support!
