Twelth Night/ Gladd Tydings
On Saturday, January15, 2010, Vulpine Reach, the local chapter of the Society for Creative Anachronism, will gather together for joy and learning at the Privateer Yacht Club in Hixson, TN. We will begin at 10 AM and continue as late as we will. This site is wet. It is also heated entirely by wood-burning. Please, plan to dress warmly (Temperatures are likely to hover in the mid forties). The site is on the small side, but really beautiful. The day's events: "How do I pronounce that?" - learn to determine the linguistic origin of a name and pronounce it in an un-newb-like fashion - given by L. Guntram "Monastic Orders of the Middle Ages " - learn the distinguishing characteristics and practices of several monastic orders - given by L. Guntram "Documenting and Registering Your Name (or a Household Name)" - a class given by Tobias Morgan Handiwork Circle Gaming Salon Potluck Luncheon - coordinated by L. Elizabeth [[@http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/White_elephant_gift_exchange|Mongolian Gift Exchange
 * A fighter's and garber's workshop on the construction of arming coats - given by L. Wolfgar
 * A cooking workshop on a period meaty dish - given by L. Faelen
 * A make and take divination workshop on Norse runes - given by Runfridr

]]*** The day's workshops are given at the expense of the teachers. There is no cost for event attendance. Please, if you plan to attend a workshop, kindly prepare to offer your instructor a small donation to offset his costs.***

The luncheon will begin at noon, and the gift exchange at 5:30 PM. Gift exchange items should be inexpensive - no more than ten dollars - and period, peri-oid, or generally useful to SCAdians. (No re-gifting that gift basket full of body wash!) Our children will also have their own separate exchange. Please, if you have a child, help him or her to prepare an appropriate gift.
