A Happy Yule season to the Gentlefolk scattered across the Known World!
Sometimes it is hard to believe that another year has come to pass, but=
here we are in December again. In addition to the usual list of =
new files added to the Florilegium this month, I've also included some o=
f the files that highlight this season.
Many SCA folks in the coastal areas of several kingdoms had high persona=
l losses during this year's hurricane season, as did many non- SCA folks=
. Please remember these folks and help out as you can. I have heard of a=
t least several grassroots efforts to aid our SCA =
brethren put their SCA lives back on track as well as their modern ones.=
There *will* be a Gulf Wars event this year, despite both the site and t=
he surrounding area having taken damage during the hurricanes. =
If you have been considering attending Gulf Wars, and particularly if yo=
u haven't been before, perhaps this is the year to go. The =
surrounding community can use the injection of money that we bring and i=
f everyone pitches in a few hours helping clear downed timber =
and such, much of the damage can be fixed. Many of the volunteers who he=
lp run Gulf Wars are among those who have suffered large losses =
this year. By helping out a little bit more than usual, perhaps we can =
make their jobs a little bit easier or help make up for those =
who, having to put back together their modern lives, are unable to atten=
d the War this year.
As usual if you have any comments, suggestions or criticisms about the F=
lorilegium, please feel free to contact me.

A Blending of the Past and Present
Over the past sixteen years in an ongoing effort, I have been collecting=
bits of useful information from various newsgroups, mail =
lists and articles submitted to me by their authors. In order to make th=
is information available to others, I have placed this information =
in a series of files I call Stefan's Florilegium.
The Florilegium is on the web at: http://www.florilegium.org
I am always interested in new articles. If you have written an article t=
hat would be of interest to others in the SCA, please send =
it to me for possible inclusion in the Florilegium. Contact me for more =
details.
I am also interested in volunteers who might be interested in helping me=
maintain the Florilegium. Everything from collecting materials, =
editing and web work is needed. Again, please contact me for more detai=
ls.
For those who would like to help support the Florilegium project in ano=
ther way, I have added a PayPal donation button on the top page of =
the site. Any donations, while not tax deductible, do help pay the overh=
ead costs of keeping the site running.
