Timeline of Activity:

• 2003 - Introduced to the SCA by her sister, Sabine Lefevre d'Armagnac and brother in law, Rafe Slater.
• 2004 - Attended Clothiers Seminar in the Shire of Cúm an Iolair in Calontir. It was hosted at an old school. I learned quite a bit, as this was towards the beginning of my SCA journey. We stayed up talking through all hours of the night. It was the first time I saw JP & Gilyan outside a local meeting.
• 2005 - first trip to Gulf Wars. It was overwhelming - so many choices of things to do!! Classes! Volunteering! Watching the fights! I did enjoy the fact that older members of the Society were actively volunteering - so I signed up to help too! In volunteering, it was a great introduction to the layout of the site. Turning in my volunteer points and getting to pick an item from the Volunteer auction was nifty!! Because I remember feeling so overwhelmed, Emma and I are going to do a walking tour of the site to introduce them to the physical layout and structure of the event. Hopefully that will help them have a good experience at their first war.
• 2007 - Co-Event Stewarded Mooneschadowe Triumphe II, with Rafe Slater
• 2011 - First opportunity to be on Entourage for Jean-Paul & Gilyan
• 2011 - Moved from Mooneschadowe to Namron. Took a little break from the SCA to focus on family.
• 2016 - Returned to the SCA. Began dabbling and exploring skills that my persona would have known, and the daily life of someone in that period.
