Ravenwood Dates
Good News - Bad News!
Once again I won the Mt. Tam lottery and booked Alice Eastwood Group Camp B (the smaller site). I tried for the larger site first, but it was already booked! Indeed, every weekend was booked by 8:11 am thanks to the age of computers. At least I didn't have to play redial on the phone for hours like I used to. Ravenwood 22 will be June 30th (Thorsday) to July 4th (Moonday) and will be limited to 25 people. Flyer and prices to follow in January.

Feast of Einharjar
FREYA'S FOLK celebrates a Sumbel (a Heathen drinking ritual) for the Dead in three rounds at sunset in San Francisco. First round for those who have died in the last year.
Second round for those who have died within living memory.
Third round for the ancestral dead & any one we've forgotten.
There is alcohol at this event. You do NOT have to drink from the horn, you can just raise it and make a toast.
REMEMBER THAT IF YOU ARE NOT THERE BY 5 PM, YOU'LL MISS IT. WE START ON TIME!
Sunset waits for no one!
Take Marina Blvd. West along the bay to the light at Presidio/Palace of Fine Arts (Baker St.) Turn right. Go through first parking lot. Drive east past the Yacht Club. Park at the little light house., Walk east on Yacht Road to the Wave Organ (about five minutes on a flat path) . Bring mementos if you wish."

news from Erin Lale
"Victory is within reach!
I'm ahead in the polls among fiscal conservatives. Read all about it: http://www.i-newswire.com/erin-lale-is-ahead-in-the-polls/66176
All I need to win is a big advertising push. When I owned The Science Fiction Store, I had the opportunity to learn what kinds of ads work, and what kinds don't work, in the ad-saturated local market of the Las Vegas valley. I know what to do and how to do it. All I need is your help.
There is a 2 week deadline for an ad to run before election day. That's the exact amount of time I had to work with when I mounted the cable TV ad campaign for a celebrity booksigning in my independent bookstore that brought in $26,000 in one day. I know how to advertise; I've done it before and I can do it again. I just need an ad budget to work with.
How can you help? In two ways. 1. You can donate. 2. You can spread the word.
1. Donate
Help me put a geographically segmented ad on the air in the southeastern valley, covering the Green Valley area where District 29 is located, on local cable TV. If 100 people would donate just $15 -- the price of a pizza-- we can get this done. Please send donations via secure paypal to: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=YKNE9VF6JZYZG
If link does not work, go to your paypal account and send donations to: elale@cox.net
2. Spread the word
Pass this on to anyone you think would do step 1. or step 2.!"

AVA in Canada
Had the pleasure of working with and seeing fellow board member Andy Biggers at Harvest Fest near Toronto, Canada this past Thanksgiving weekend. Burned a corn King, celebrated Winter Nights, drank good mead and served as valkyrie at sumble, helped out MC with the Women's rite, and gave a workshop on Women's Runes. No photos - weren't allowed!

Bologna ECER Declaration-2, 29th of August, 2010
 | |
| ECER Attendees |
This year Bologna saw a gathering of representatives from Italian, Danish, Norwegian, German, French, Greek, Lithuanian, Latvian, Portuguese, Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, and Russian ethnic religions. It was decided that the main concern for us all is Europe's ancient spiritual traditions. There is a lot of unity among us, and we feel the need to come together. The main point in all our discussions has been that Europe suffers the most because of its traditions' weakness, especially in the spiritual sense. As oriental cults thrive, European traditions are seen as obsolete, which can exist only in a museum. However, we have now begun to understand and cherish the importance and value of our own indigenous traditions. We also decided to strengthen our ties with the Parliament of World Religions, and to work together with India's cultural and religious organizations.
The above now means that the AVA is no longer a member as an organization, but, I am a member as the American representative of Romuva in the USA, and any AVA member who descends from or follows an indigenous European tradition is welcome to join the ECER. Contact Jonas Trinkunas at trinkunas@romuva.lt for information.
