By the time you get this Herald, Drums Along the Maumee 5 will be a short time away. I'm asking for help from our membership.

We have a limited number (29) of the 2003 blue t-shirts. Many of you already have the 2003 tees, and fly our chapter's colors at other conventions. Now, (like some of us) the tees are getting dated. Please, help us close this t-shirt run and get a top quality shirt at a super price. We originally sold the shirts for $14 and $15, depending on size. Right now, though, get one for just $10! By getting one of these t-shirts, it will identify you as a member of Great Lakes and it will also help the chapter.

I already mentioned Drums Along the Maumee. The closer it gets, the more excited I am about seeing old friends and making new ones. In June, we have War Party and Origins. Then comes Advance the Colors in September. There's more information on our conventions elsewhere in The Herald.

If you can, we still need volunteers for ATC. Even if you can spare just an hour, it would really help (perhaps during a break between games). Ernie Baker still needs painted figures and other items for the raffle at ATC. We would appreciate whatever you can donate.

Until next time, good gaming and be safe.
