As the "Chatelaine" (pronounced "shat-eh-layne"), my job is to help you get
started playing in the Society for Creative Anachronism. Feel free to contact me
with any questions you may have. I can direct you to resources for getting
started in the Society such as getting your first garb together, help you get
connected with individuals in your area(s) of interest, and give you insight on
how the SCA works, like "how is it different from a ren faire". And for the
record, there is no such thing as a stupid question.
My modern name is Bonnie Dodson.
I can be reached at: (423) 314-4511 or
at my personal email address,
eponacoach@comcast.net.
As you get started with the Shire of Vulpine
Reach, there are two easy steps you can take to get you connected to the group
and its activities! First, we invite you to fill out our easy online
Newcomer's Information Form to help us get to know you better. Second, join
our
online discussion group so you
can read and post messages throughout the shire. You'll find information about
my deputies and links to other resources below.
Welcome to the Shire!
