Thanks, I do appreciate the sentiment and encouragement. By the way, that same day I sent an email inquiry to the New Hampshire games through their website but so far no response.

A couple of things:

First, just a reminder that tomorrow is the Rhode Island games so anyone in the area please stop by and say hello.

Second, I got an email back from the NH games. Seems they have waiting list for the clan village and supposedly we're now on the list. We'll see.

Just got back from Maine today then a quick turnaround for the Quechee, VT games this Saturday so it won't be until sometime next week before I can do reports on both Maine and Vermont games. It looks like New Hampshire is still a no go and will probably remain that way until the current clan coordinator goes away.

Great!  We'll have some pictures and a write up for the next newsletter!  Have you checked with New Hampshire? They had some personnel changes.....
