[Artemisia] RE: 1000 Eyes Baroness Champion

[leishman10 at juno.com]

Greetings good gentles, 

For your Baroness' Champion event in One Thousand Eyes, I noticed you
have lots of great activities for the adults, but nothing listed for the
children. 

Do you currently have a youth minister, and/or do you have someone who is
planning on providing at least a few hours of activities (not
babysitting) for your youth (and those visiting) in the age range of 5 -
17?  If so, would you please post the activities you have planned for
them? 

Thank you
Lady Bethoc
Southern Deputy to the Chancellor Minor - Kindgom of Artemisia
