Greetings unto the populace!  I have forwarded this event flier to remind 
everyone that University isn't the only thing there is to do in February.  This is 
a beautiful site with wonderful atmosphere.  PARENTS: please note that the 
children will have a children's feast early and childcare will be provided 
during the adult feast.  This means that you may finally get to eat and enjoy the 
food!
Also note that, in recognition of Women's History Month in March, there is an 
essay contest for stories about Medieval women - group or individual; real or 
fictional.  Please email me directly for information.  You may send in your 
essays early to the autocrat, or email them to me - NOTE: since I am judging, if 
you email, please be anonymous, if that's possible.

Hope to see y'all there!
