Greeting Barony and Coastal Region,

Please make sure you fill out the Disaster Relief Form ASAP even if your need is only food. People around the kingdom have mentioned putting together food drives, so we are trying to assess the actual need in the area. Baroness Ceara is willing to house the food to have it transported around the Barony and beyond and anything that isn't used by the SCA will be donated to the Houston Food Bank.

If people are still without power, we have plenty of members willing to give you a bed in AC.

Thank you to everyone willing to volunteer for recovery. There are quite a few people with power tools who can come out and get yard work done, assist with fence repair, etc. We are here for you and you don't have to go through it alone.

We hope that you and your family have remained safe over the past week. As a community, we would like to extend help where we can with the resources and skills at our disposal. If you are in need of assistance, or if you are willing to help members in the Coastal region, please take a moment to fill...

Instead of going to LPT, the Sherwood Demo Committee got together and made silk banners for the groups that sponsor volunteer weekends at the Faire. Stargate's banner is finished minus the sleeve for the banner pole. I designed it to have our motto: "Ad Astra Per Ardua." So not LPT but we were still arting!

From the Kingdom DEI officer:

Greetings to the Kingdom of Ansteorra and Principality of Vindheim!

In our continual effort to foster and promote the principles of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility within our kingdom and principality, the DEI office is expanding to include regional and local DEI offices.

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) Office for the Kingdom of Ansteorra is committed to promoting the values of inclusion throughout the Kingdom of Ansteorra and the SCA. The focus is equity, which is just and fair inclusion into an organization in which all can participate, prosper, benefit, and reach their full potential

The DEI office develops activities and training to cultivate a climate in which all members are treated fairly and able to thrive in a welcoming atmosphere. This work is compliant with nondiscrimination laws, ADA laws, the SCA mission statement, and our governing documents, especially our policies on harassment, bullying, and hate speech.

At this time, the southern regional, central regional, and Principality of Vindheim DEI offices are open for applications.

A general overview of the regional DEI offices are as follows:

1. Keep track of events happening in your area. Reach out to the event stewards and/or seneschals prior to events and ask if they have any ‘accessibility’ or ‘DEI’ related questions or concerns about their upcoming event.

2. Be an educator. The primary responsibility of the DEI office is to provide “activities and training to cultivate a climate in which all members are treated fairly and able to thrive in a welcoming atmosphere.” Act as a liaison between event steward/class coordinators and other teachers. Be a resource and encourage making DEI resources available for those in your area.

3. Be a point of contact. Be known in your region as a safe person and someone who can put others in contact with the right people in cases of bullying, harassment, hate speech, etc.

4. As local DEI officers are appointed, act as a liaison between the kingdom and local DEI officers.
If you have any questions about the responsibilities of these offices, please feel free to contact me.
Please send your application to the Kingdom DEI officer, [email protected],
your regional or principality seneschal,
[email protected], [email protected], [email protected]
and for the Principality of Vindheim office, please include Their Serene Highnesses, as well.

What does that mean?

Newcomers will often hear words that they don’t (yet) understand. Stargate is here to help.

Oyez is an exclamation used by voice heralds to call attention to the information that will be following. “Attend” may also be used.
