Anno Societatis XLV
DRACO INVICTUS!
Updated 12 May 2010
The Tower is out of the Lake! It's damp, a bit slimy and still dripping, but all set to go for the weekend! (The monster in the lake's a bit upset with us dragging his house out, so if you see someone green and slimy wandering around Friday through Sunday, that's him. We've promised him that his Tower will be back in Lake Snowden by noon Sunday. He will be dealing with all stragglers; grumbled something about "taking care of them" and "conscripting them to help put the Tower away" if they hang around too long when we told him...)

To help support the Shire’s long-held desire to store Shire property somewhere other than attics, basements, and living rooms of Dernehealde members and the waters of Lake Snowden, the Shire will be raffling off a sword to assist in acquiring a permanent storage facility. Tickets are $1 for 1 ticket, $5 for 6 tickets, or $10 for 15 tickets. Tickets may be purchased from Shire of Dernehealde members at select events prior to Tower by the Lake II or by mail. Tickets will also be available at the event leading up to the raffle.
Make checks payable to: "SCA INC-Shire of Dernehealde"
Include: SCA name, Modern name, address and phone number
Send to: SR Tilton, 186 Mill St. Apt 301, Athens, OH, 45701
Attendance at Tower by the Lake II is not required to win. The winner will be drawn at the end of the day Saturday, May 15th, at Tower by the Lake II. If the owner of the drawn ticket cannot be contacted within a week after the event, a new winner will be drawn from the remaining tickets. Tickets and contact information will be appropriately discarded once the sword has been claimed. If the winner of the event is not present at Tower by the Lake II, alternate transportation for the prize will be arranged.
Please peruse Lake Snowden’s Park Rules if you intend to camp with us.
If you have any questions or would like to contribute to the event, please contact the autocrat, (Molly Semones).
