"Tools of Our Trade" drive to restock lost recreation supplies.


Last year's hurricanes devastated large areas of the American south.   
Among those who lost many things are members of the SCA. The tools  
and materials of our hobbies come far down on the list of necessities  
to replace and far up on the list of things that make life more  
pleasant and rewarding.

The region of Pentamere in the Middle Kingdom is spearheading an  
effort we are calling "Tools of Our Trade" to help the people of  
Gleann Abahnn and Meridies replace the things needed to recreate the  
Middle Ages that were lost in last autumn's hurricanes.  We already  
have a trailer load of supplies, including 8 sewing machines, 500  
laminar plates, 5 lace making pillows and sets of bobbins, inkle  
looms, drop spindles, sewing supplies and kits, anvils, pounds and  
pounds of fleece and rovings, leather, fabric, feast gear, artist's  
brushes and numerous other things.

The autocrats of Gulf Wars have allocated a place in the Artisans'  
Grove to be used for the free distribution of the materials to  
anyone.  If other groups or individuals would like to join our effort  
and contribute any extras, duplicates, or 'things you tried but  
probably won't use again' they have acquired in pursuit of our hobby,  
they would be more than welcome to bring or send them to Gulf Wars  
and distribute them alongside our efforts.

We are still short on :    Pens, Paints, Paper, and other scribal  
materials
                                    Wood working and carving tools
                                    Leather and Leather working tools
                                    Metal working tools
                                    Card weaving card sets
                                    Archery and fletching tools
                                    Rattan - duct tape
but anything and everything is welcome
