Well I wasn't implying that you shouldn't wear your mundanes. But I don't think it's right to some not to wear their garb. I personally have put alot of time into mine and like to wear them to anything SCA because it shows who I am and what I like to do.
Now I can see why we don't get members to stay, because people get all upset about the littlest thing and just decide they aren't going to deal with people like that.

No one is asking anyone to not be themselves, but it is a known issue that some people may be enticed by garb, and others intimidated by it. If one wears garb, they may look more interesting to an outsider, but also possibly less approachable, and vice versa. No one is going to force you into mundanes if you show up in garb, it would be nice if you did not try to force people who wish to wear mundanes into garb (even if it is via e-mail).

I always get more people asking me about it when I have been wear garb then without. People have always found it different want to ask questions then. After doing this for almost 10 years now I have found the ones who are really interested like all of it, not just the shiny things.
I have been to other groups and they wear their garb to all there meetings and events.
I also think this is how you allienate people who are already in the group by saying things like this so that they don't want to participate. I know I sure don't, If I can't be myself.
Living the dream,

Yeah we are a recreation group. That's not at issue; what we don't want to have happen is to scare off any potential new members who would at first be joining MARS, the UND arm of things.
With the Involvement Expo, the target demographic UND is looking to bring there is college freshman. 17-19 years old, away from home for the first time looking to be active members of the UND community. Showing up in grab can be very intimidating for first timers.
We only wear grab at events, not business meetings, or A&S nights or a lot of other functions we regularly do.
I'd rather that we intice them with the shiny or pretty things and bring them into garb wearing a bit later than potentially alienate them or having us end up as something we'd rather not be.
I hope this make some sense.

I will bring my weaving if nothing else I will finish my belt I am working on. I will also take a look and see what other projects I have done to put on display. I should be able to stay till 3 pm as long as my husband is ok with it.

If you're not able to make it, I don't think we should plan on having the pavillion. It would be nice, but Peter would have to put it up by himself (unless someone else will be there at 9am), possibly with help from me shortly thereafter, and neither of us has ever put one up before.
The box of demo stuff would be great. I'll be bringing my "Chatelaine/SCA box" which has the Northshield brochures, some copies of the Northwatch, Tournaments Illuminated, and the Compleat Anachronist, and we'll have Peter's and my AoA scrolls there to display as well, but it would be nice to have whatever recruitment-oriented gear there.

figure out how to set up the pavilion, I can load it in the truck for you.
Jess, if you want to use those 3-fold fliers from years ago, send me the
specific info you want to appear for contact and future activities. I can
do the fix and send yo a PDF so you can print them out.
I can send my box of demo stuff (pictures/books/scrools) if omeone wants to
pick them up.
