     If anyone knows of events going on in 2011 that we might be interested in attending please get as much information as possible about the event, including powder bounty or monetary compensation for artillery.  The likelihood that we'll attend events without one or the other is very, very slim. Bring all of this information with you or send it to me so that it can be voted on at our planning meeting in either January or February of 2011.  The date and location of the meeting is still being decided.
