[Artemisia] Volunteers Needed for 50 Year Display for Artemisia

[Nikky Scofield]

Greetings Unto the Populace of Artemisia from Their Royal Highness' Ronan &
Clare

The Kingdom has recently received a request from the organizers of the SCA
50 Year Event asking for a representative from our Kingdom to assist them
in making displays for Artemisia at the event. We would ask for a volunteer
from our Populace who plans on attending this event and can do this very
important office for our Kingdom. Below is a copy of the letter sent to us
with details as to the requirements and expectations of the position. If
you are interested in taking on this job, please contact us by email at
heirs at artemisia.sca.org Thank you.

TRH Ronan & Clare

To the great Kingdom of Artemisia does Eleanor, Baroness of the Flame, in
the esteemed Kingdom of the Middle send greetings!



The 50th Anniversary of the Society for Creative Anachronism is upon us!
“50 Year” will be celebrated in the Middle Kingdom in the State of Indiana,
at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex from June 16th to
June 27th, 2016.



I have the pleasure of working as the Archivist for the event, alongside
THL Elizabethe Alles, who is the Chair of Historic Displays, to ensure that
all Kingdoms are represented at this most noble function!



We are asking that each Kingdom designate a Chair who will head your
particular Kingdom’s display. This person will work directly with me in
coordinating their displays, including the acquisition and collection of
items if needed. If a representative cannot be on site for the event, any
and all items can be sent to me and volunteers will set up the display.
While these are static displays, having members of the Kingdoms on-hand to
answer questions and tell stories is highly encouraged.



Each Kingdom will be allotted a 20-24’ (length) x 8’ (Depth) space located
in the Hendricks Power Exposition Hall. We are asking that all displays
include the following:



o   A banner or sign displaying the name of the Kingdom



o   A large Kingdom device displaying the arms of the Kingdom



o   King and Queen Lineage on a large easily readable display



o   Pictures or items that are a part of the Kingdom’s history (example:
coronets, gowns, casting molds from important items, mantles, old armor,
new armor etc.)



o   A 10 minute video on the history and traditions of the Kingdom (Please
keep videos positive and uplifting, use proper SCA photo release forms and
send digital copies of forms to Kelly Magill at questrix at gmail.com)



Recommended but not required:



o        Any written Kingdom histories



o        Peerage Lineage



o        Displays of Kingdom traditions



o        Kingdom songs recorded or written for viewing and listening



o        Lists and depictions of Kingdom level awards



o        Maps of territories, baronies, shires etc.



o        All the things that make your Kingdom unique!!



Though the event is a year and a half away we want to ensure each Kingdom
is represented in the best way possible. Display Chairs should be chosen by
February 28th 2015 in order to facilitate communication and provide time to
plan and gather the materials needed for this project. A common information
sharing webpage will be created when all Chairs have been identified.
