[Steppes] Gulf War

[Carol Ross]

Greetings to everyone,

The countdown for the final week prior to Gulf War has begun and we find 
ourselves just as busy as you guys trying to get ready.

I do need to ask for a volunteer or two that will be on site on opening 
day. The Baronies are hosting a hospitality for everyone that is on site 
that day and as such we will have hot soup available. I will need 
someone to watch over the Oxtail Stew (just making sure it does not 
burn) and set up the pita and hummus(if you care to donate to this then 
we welcome and pita, pita chips or hummus you care to provide) for our 
donation while Duncan and I participate in the opening day parade. After 
the parade is over I will join you so that we can serve the Known World 
that is in attendance.

Additionally, on Friday  from 8 a.m to 3 p.m. in Bede Hall will be the 
open Gulf Wars A & S. We do encourage you to bring any projects out and 
put them on display no matter what level of expertise. You may bring 
extensive documentation or you can bring just a simple 3x5 card with 
who, what, when, where and why on it. Prizes will be awarded based on 
populace judging, which also means that everyone gets to attend and 
judge on what they like best!

If you are new to Gulf War or if you are not please remember to 
volunteer. This event just like ours at home can not run without a lot 
of help. And if you do volunteer please make sure to turn in your 
volunteer hours. When you do this you are not only providing hours 
towards the volunteer war point but also you can designate where you 
want your "earnings" to go. For example, if you chose to put down the 
Kingdom Travel fund or the Barony of The Steppes, then proceeds from 
Gulf War will be ear marked for the group or fund when the event is over.

For those fighting, please take care of your health and remember to eat 
and drink plenty of water. We look forward to watching your prowess on 
the field!

Duncan and Genevieve
