Resources for Medieval Era Enthusiasts

Archives for July, 2010

We’re looking forward to this fall – cooler weather and maybe a return to well-attended class and events. In particular, we’re excited about the Santa Fe Renaissance Fair in September and the Farmington Renaissance Fair in October. Both events will be at no cost to Medieval Living, as we are only interested in educating others about Medieval life as well as advertising our free services to the homeschool families in New Mexico.

I had hoped to have some additional classes in July, but my calendar keeps filling up with “other” activities – unfortunately, in order to have funds to support our fall activities schedule, I’ve had to take on additional paid work . . . which in turn takes away from my available time during the summer. I am really hoping that by this time next year, we will have located some major fund sources so that we can focus entirely on Medieavl Living. That includes salaries ( 3 full time and one part time) as well as a classroom and activity center (temporary, until the day we acquire land and begin constructing the musuem/village).

OH BY THE WAY . . . if any of the local folks happen to shop regularly at Albertson’s Market grocery stores, please contact me to receive an Albertson’s Community Partners card. Every time you shop at Albertsons, you show them the card (they will scan it) and then 1 percent of your purchase price will be donated to Medieval Living. There is no cost for you, you do not have to sign-up for anything, and Medieval Living is supported through your patronage of Albertsons Market. Just drop me an email or post a comment on the “Contact” page and I will send you a scan card. The ones I have now are temporary – within the month I should receive the little tags that you can put on your key ring. Thank you for your support!!!
