As a follow up to the announcement, its clearly important to pay 
attention to the paragraph that says:

Please send reservations to the Head Troll, Lady Anne of Carthew at 
Barbara Bilodeau, 13456 Cobra Drive, Herndon, Virginia 22071-4044, 
(703) 437-6271 NTL 9:30 p.m. or e-mail barbara_bilodeau@sra.com.

If you miss that part of the announcement (and it was this way in the 
Acrons also) and send your reservation to the Autocrat rather than the 
Troll, there is a *big* chance that the troll may never get it....nor 
the autocrat.  Fortunately, our mailman is being reasonably reliable, 
so if you send it to me it should arrive fine.

Thanks for the help!
Anne.

Greetings unto the Merry Rose from Tirloch! The harried autocrat, 
Hreodbeorht, has asked me to post this announcement to the group about 
the upcoming event. Why is he harried? He and his nice lady wife, 
Tehair, have just moved from VA to MD. They are now home owners with a 
mortgage as well as now dealing with the US Postal Service for 
forwarded mail.
     
Here is Hreodbeorht's announcement:
