From the Lilies War web site:
The main gate to the Kelsey Short Youth Camp will be closed until 8am the first Friday of Lilies. DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES park on the road outside the camp gate (Collins/Camp Branch Rd.) If you do you WILL be ticketed by federal authorities. The ticket WILL hurt your pocketbook. Thank you.
The Lilies Tours flyer is now online. Please feel free to share, print and hand out, hang up at work.
I evidently missed getting Hymn For The Soup Kitchen completely posted on the site. That oversight has now been corrected.
Also, new posts to The CalonSound Project website will now be announced on both Facebook and Google+ The CalonSound Project pages as well.

New! Canine Activities, please feel free to bring your dog and join in the fun…so long as they play and work well with others…
ALL DOG BREEDS ARE WELCOME
It will be a day jam packed full of ideas. The overall mindset will be to get out and start training your dog with a finger pointing to a period direction. Schedule changes for court times and class additions. We may have an opportunity at Cattle Raids (Aug.) at the same site.
See Spring Fling event flier for other important details regarding animal restrictions.

Have you ever wanted to shoot from a Viking longboat? Now you can! The Bee Hive Five, and the crew of the Fyrdraca, have joined forces to bring you this unique opportunity to do something exciting while raising funds for two worthy causes. The cost is $30 (cash only please), and the proceeds will be split evenly between the Fyrdraca Preservation fund and the Lilies Archery fund. The boat will take 15 archers per raiding party, on a maximum of 4 voyages. Tickets will be sold on a first come, first served, basis. Inquiries about ticket sales may be made to the following people at events between now and Lilies:
Lady Alessandra de Piro
Lady Cecilia de Gatisbury
Lady Emeline de Moulineaux
Mistress Rahil al-Sirhaan
Sir Robert Brockman

Greetings Calontir, Friends, and Neighbors! (please cross post this far and wide)
The Lilies Committee is excited to announce that for Lilies War 28 you can pre-register your site fee using ACCEPS! Yes that’s right… you can now pre-pay for Lilies War using your credit/debit card! (Please note that this is the only accepted form of pre-payment). ACCEPS will be open until May 30, 2014, so you have until then to pre-register! In future years, if this venture is successful, the ACCEPS window of time for pre-registration will be larger.
Visit http://acceps.ansteorra.org/ to register TODAY.
As a reminder the site fees are:
Adult members – $50
Adult Non-members – $55
Minors (6-17) – $25
Minors (0-5) – free
Family Discount – $15 per child upon the fourth minor (6-17)
The entire payment is due upon completion of the ACCEPS registration. The fee to use ACCEPS is 31¢ plus 3% of your site fee. So for example, the fee for an adult member is $1.81; for adult non-members it is $1.96; and for minors (6-17) it is $1.06. All refunds must be requested from the War of the Lilies Committee Treasurer.
The ACCEPS processing fee is non-refundable.
Refunds may be requested until June 1, 2014.
This will greatly reduce your time spent at gate since you have pre-paid. When you arrive at gate, you will need to show your ID and membership card (if applicable) and your PRE-COMPLETED gate form will be retrieved for you.
Here are a few things to remember when filling out your pre-registration:
1. Please complete all fields. Follow all the directions.
2. If you have questions, click on the floating pelican.
3. If you have more than 4 children in your IMMEDIATE family, please mark the box “Family Max” to ensure the discount will be applied.
4. Discounts for royalty or children will be reflected in the adjusted total at the end, when you click “Compute Final Fees”.
5. You will receive a confirmation once you are complete, so follow the process all the way until the end.

Greetings, Calontir!
Konstantia, Gold Falcon Principal Herald, is sponsoring a Heraldic Garb contest and fashion show to take place at Agamemnon and Gwen’s Coronation in July in Lost Moor.
The contest is the best use of heraldry in one’s garb, whether it be personal heraldry, kingdom heraldry, badges, etc. This promises to be fun, and it’s a great way to get in touch with your own heraldry as your persona would have.
There is a need for judges and prizes. If you can contribute, please let Konstantia know via email! Also, please tell your local groups!
The contest is the best use of heraldry in one’s garb, whether it be personal heraldry, kingdom heraldry, badges, etc. This promises to be fun, and it’s a great way to get in touch with your own heraldry.

1.a: Heraldic decoration must be done in a way consistent with garment treatment as done in period.
2. The garment must have heraldry represented on it, whether that is a badge, personal heraldry, or kingdom heraldry. The heraldry does not have to be registered, however, it is encouraged.
3. Group entries, yes, are accepted and encouraged.
4. Documentation is not required, but definitely encouraged. (and may score you bonus points!)
