#1 The Equestrian Coordinator, is soliciting sponsorship of Equestrian
Special Events.. She needs a Sponsor to provide a "class" at the Equestrian
Area Lady Shoshana Drakere is looking for a few good equestrians to
demonstrate horsey stuff for the youth populace. The idea here is to have
the youth come down to the Equestrian Area for a demonstration, perhaps of
horse anatomy, armor, barding, games....she is open to your suggestions.
This would be followed by a "barding" class done on plastic horses either
under our tents at the Equestrian Area or back at the Youth Center. If you
are interested in coordinating this event, or you have any other event you
are willing to sponsor please contact me

B). No Volunteer Spirit will be refused. Any and all volunteers will be
happily accepted and appreciated no matter their home kingdom, household,
