Volunteers step up!

Greetings to all on this joyous approach to Ostara! 

As nature awakes from her winter's rest, we here at the Festivities Committee invite one and all to volunteer to assist with preparations for our annual Ostara ball. Ah yes, the exuberance of Spring is most certainly in the air after this rather chill winter, and it is time to spring into action, saying goodbye to the old and make room for the new!

Dust off your thinking caps Ladies and Gentleman, for this year's theme is Great Inventors of Past and Future, and we expect everyone to be present! Yes, we are celebrating the eternal resourcefulness of those of our brethren and sistren who have introduced innovations that have changed our very existences!

During this, our time to celebrate nature's boundless ability to renew herself, we will also be celebrating the unique ability of we humans to create our world.

To make this event a success, I am seeking volunteers in the following areas:
    decorations
    catering

I remind you all that you have only a week more to submit your entry for the Ostara mead-based cocktail competition. Each and every one will be included on the menu for the happy night, and I for one am in great anticipation of the honey-fuelled jollity that is bound to ensue!

For all our Persephones and Demeters, a reminder that the wildflower picking expedition is scheduled for the day before the great event, location to be announced closer to the time.

Yours in anticipation,
Nigel
