Greetings from the Shire of Midhaven
>
> We are exploring hosting an event, tentatively planned for March 11th,
> 2017, specifically set up for newcomers to the SCA. We are looking to host
> this event not just for our shire, but for any newcomers in any nearby
> branch. The current vision is a single day event, expenses covered by the
> Shire of Midhaven, in the Burlington/Mount Vernon, WA area. The exact
> format is still in discussion, ranging from classes to small stations, all
> set up to introduce people to the various activities and opportunities of
> the SCA. This also includes existing members who may want to look at other
> aspects of the SCA they are not familiar with.
>
> I am contacting you all, the chatelaines of the lands around the Shire of
> Midhaven, to determine the level of interest in your respective areas, to
> see if anyone is interested in attending, or referring newcomers to the
> event. We need an approximate idea of interest to a suitable location. We
> are also interested in any feedback or input from branches that have run
> similar events, or any suggestions for our goal.
>
> Please email back, I look forward to moving this event forward!
