Hello Henry, from Anne-Marie.
You sed:
"Good to hear from you. By all means, send me the stuff. I'm
glad to hear you found my suggestions useful."
Well, here it is. Please feel free to format it as needed, but please don't
delete anything unless youi check with me first.
I appreciate your ideas, and look forward to seeing some of them fleshed out.
If nothing else, we're gonna have a lot of fun with a great slate of memorable
classes. SHould any other ideas occur to you, feel free to send 'em my way!
Any chance of folks from your neck of the proverbial woods comeing out? Any of
them teachers?
Thanks for your help and support in "spreading the word". The more information
we have going out, the more cross pollination of teachers I can get.
Let me know if you have any questions,
--Anne-Marie
*****************************
Greetings from Maitresse Anne-Marie d'Ailleurs, Coordinator of the Educational
Program at 30th Year!
Are you interested in teaching for 30th Year Celebration, to be held
in June of 1996 in Vancouver Washington (the Kingdom of An Tir)? I have the
honor of being in charge of coordinating these efforts. Please take a minute to
fill out this form, and return it to me at the address below. Go ahead and fill
out as many forms as you like, for as many classes as you'd be interested in
sharing with us.
I'll be compiling all the forms that I get and contacting you all with the
specifics of which classes we'd like to work into our Formal Collegium session.
I may not be able to fit in any or all of your classes for the formal session,
but will help you make sure that whatever you'd like to offer is made available
to the populace.
Here's our chance to show the Known World the breadth and depth of skills and
knowledge that we have available to us! I'm very excited by this opportunity,
and hope to make this Collegium something for everyone to remember, instructors
and students alike.
What kind of classes am I looking for? Pretty much anything, really. I am
especially interested in those arts and science classes that are hands-on. You
know, the kind where the student walks away with something they made with their
own little hands...I am also intersted in classes on specific periods in
history, cultures, language, costuming surveys, science and philosophy, musical
theory and practice, etc. Think what the best Ithra/RUSH/Collegium class you
ever took was; that's the stuff I want!
To give you some ideas, here's a list of topics that I'm interested in finding
classes and teachers for:
HISTORY STUFF:
--Crusades (history, politics, who's who, etc)
--Kings of Europe and their Friends (Famous men)
--Queens of Europe and their Friends (Famous women)

Please be aware this class listing is by no means exclusive! There are just some
ideas to get you thinking. We have a great facility: a real building with a
real kitchen, as well as a number of dayshade pavilions in the Campus area. As
you consider which classes you'd like to offer, please feel free to think about
how we can best serve you.
I look forward to working with you, and look forward to getting your forms

event, and so need to have them back by the December 20th, 1995.
Thanks again, and I look forward to hearing from you soon.
I remain, with you,
In Service to the Crown and to the people of our Kingdoms,
