[Artemisia] Artemisia Digest, Vol 126, Issue 12

Wed Mar 19 12:37:58 CDT 2014

There is another mundane scheduling conflict that we should consider
regarding the Kingdom Calendar.  A large portion of Utah and southern Idaho
are busy with religious observances on the first weekend in April and
October every year.  This makes it difficult to recruit these people to
join and stay in the SCA.  This may have been one of the reasons we used
the second weekends back when we were a principality.

YIS,
