[Nordskogen] A call for teachers - October 2008

[Ellen C]

Greetings and Salutations do we, Lady Isabella Beatrice della Rosa (called Belle) and Lady Ellen de Wynter, send unto the populace of Nordskogen.  We hope this missive finds you in good health and in the company of good people.
   
  Lady Ellen and I are running an event in October and we are in need of your help.  The event is called “Creating the Creative, SCA 1001” and it is a day of classes for newcomers and old-timers alike who want to learn something new!  This is going to be a non-garbed event with the sole purpose of getting people involved in different aspects of the SCA by holding beginners' classes in anything and everything. While we would like to hold "What to expect" style classes for people new to the Society, we would love to see 1001 classes on anything that would interest people from arts and sciences to volunteering to the martial arts. We want classes that would introduce people to something new they haven’t tried before.
   
  Here is where your gracious help would me most welcome.  We need teachers - many, many teachers - willing to teach any kind of beginner's level class in an area of interest.  Arts and Sciences are a given, but we would love classes that explained how to run an event, what it takes to be an Event Steward, a Feast Steward, or a Volunteer Coordinator.  We need volunteers to teach classes on “what to expect at your first event” or “what to bring to your first camping event” or “what to expect at your first court”, etc..  We would also love to see teachers willing to give classes on administrative duties required for offices, from the regional level to kingdom level.  The idea is to give people a non-intimidating way to explore trying something they wanted to try but were unsure where to begin or who to ask.  We are open to any class ideas so if there was something you wanted to interest people in, and were able to teach a beginner’s level class on it, please let us know!
   
  The event will be held on October 18, 2008 at the Bunker Hills Regional Park Activities Center Building  in Andover, MN.  If you are interested in helping us with this, please send us word at either belledelarosa at charter.net (for Belle) or ladyellenthewise at yahoo.com (for Ellen).  Please include your SCA name, your modern name, the title (or idea) of your class, and an e-mail address where we can contact you.  Further, if you could spread the word around about our event to the members of your community we would very much appreciate it.  We believe this would be especially beneficial to any newer members of your local group.  Please do not hesitate to contact us with any questions you may have and we look forward to hearing from you!
   
  Yours Ever in Service to the Dream,
  Lady Isabella Beatrice della Rosa (called Belle) and Lady Ellen de Wynter
