Looks like fun!

Let me add:

Ably handled by Kate Penman in years past, this year the reigns have been turned over to Jayne Langan ... Ariel's Auction will continue, by her good graces. You need not actually be attending the Fifth Annual Great Mohican Gathering to assist this troubled young lady. Anyone can contribute an item - LOTM-themed or not - for the benefit of Ariel. Already, renowned frontier artist H. David Wright has contributed. Why not you? Please help! Contact Jayne [jml@iquest.net] with your donation ideas or questions. It'll make us all feel good ... and YOU, too! Thanks! Need more info on this year's schedule? It's just a click away. Consider joining us ... again! 
Rich
Happy Trails!

: Hello, everyone!

: Anyone who has been to a Gathering is no stranger to Ariel Boutette, a sweet little 3 year old who was born in Alberta, Canada, with no eyes and various other congenital defects affecting her heart, lungs, and spinal cord. She has had many surgeries and more to come. Amazingly, she has continued to progress (i.e. taking steps, pulling herself up to furniture, etc) despite the major difficulties facing her from day one. Her progress is due to not only the wonderful advances in medical treatments, but also from the tender loving care of her family and friends.

: And here's where we come in. As this year's Ariel's Cabin organizer (silent auction fundraiser at the Gathering), I offer you the opportunity to help out this little girl and her family with some of their financial needs. First, spend a few minutes at her website http://www.noeyes.com. You'll see firsthand what a cutie she is as well as see pics of her family. Then, you can contact me at jml@iquest.net with donations of auction items (even if you can't make it to the gathering). We'll have the auction at the Gathering in June, and send proceeds to Ariel's family.

: Time's a-wastin', so let me know of any items you might want to donate and I'll put them on my list. Items don't have to be LOTM related and can be homemade or purchased.

: Can't wait to hear from you all!

: Your official Ariel's Cabin organizer,
: Jayne
