Hail to the Kindreds!

Contained with this mailing is the AlThings 29 packet and the 2259 Annual Fees Assessment

form for Kindred membership within the Asatru Alliance. By executive action of the AlThing

23, the dues assessment per Kindred has been lowered to $50 per year payable upon

receipt of this letter. This fee allows you to support the general fund of the Asatru Alliance

which is used to pay operating fees of the corporation. By vote of the AlThing 23, any full

Kindred of the Alliance which did not pay the kindred assessment last year now owes for

last year and this year as well. If the assessment for your Kindred was not paid last year, I will

indicate it with a check mark. Further, any Kindreds which are delinquent in their assessment

when the AlThing convenes, will lose their vote at the AlThing until their assessment fees are

paid.

Please make copies of the AlThing packet and distribute to your Kindred. If you are unable to

do so, please contact me and I’ll send you as many packets as you require.

For any of you who do not currently subscribe to VorTru magazine, I am enclosing an order

form to help facilitate your subscription.

Respectively submitted,

Notes

Early registration is very helpful to us because it allows the various committees to plan for food

purchases and other necessary items. Payment does not have to accompany your registration form,

but it sure helps. There are however no refunds for no shows.

The grounds will be available on 9/23/09 at 2 PM for early arrivals. There will be no structured events

during the day, but we will serve an evening meal. Later there will be a social hour around the

campire, featuring mead and cookies.

This is the same site used for many previous AlThings. Free camping is available on-site for tenter’s

and RV’s. There are no utility hook ups. This is a U.S. Forestry group site, so amenities are limited.

The location has some of the prettiest views in Arizona. Nestled in a pine and oak forest at 6,000 ft

elevation with abundant wildlife present. We will explain camp safety during the event. Days will be

warm to cool with cool to cold nights. Plan accordingly.

Numerous cabins for rent are available close by, prices are reasonable. I suggest reservations before

the event.

The Village of Christopher Creek is located less than a mile from the Thing grounds. They have a

general store which caters to campers, but there is no gasoline available in the village. You should

gas up your vehicles in Star Valley about 18 miles west of Christopher Creek.

Your entrance fee includes four breakfasts and four evening meals. You are responsible for your other

meal requirements.

The peace is sacred! There will be zero tolerance of trouble makers. If you break the peace you

will be evicted, possible outlawed by the Thing, or prosecuted by local law authorities. Underage

drinking of alcohol is forbidden and will be cause for expulsion from the AlThing. Parents will be held

responsible for their children’s behavior.

Pets are not encouraged, but if you must bring them, they must be leashed and pose no threat to

the Folk.

There are a lot of chores and just plain hard work involved to produce an AlThing. Your help in any

area of need is very much appreciated. If you wish to help, tell the registration people when you

arrive and they will sign you up with the appropriate committee.

Mead brewers are encouraged to bring their best for Sumbel and other activities. There will be the

25th Annual Mead Brewers Competition and all brewers are encourage to bring a bottle to be

judged by your peers.

If you are driving to the AlThing, please let us know if you accept riders. If you need a ride, let us

know. Although we make no promises to secure you a ride, we will try to help. Also if you are lying

into the Phoenix airport and renting a car, let us know, and we will try and help you carpool to share

expenses. Distance from the airport to the Thing site is about 100 miles of nice four lane highway.

Ceremonies of the Folk are welcome at the AlThing. If you are planning a wedding, name giving,

or other special occasion, please let us know in advance so we can make proper arrangements.

Ceremonies of the Folk are usually conducted on Saturday evening.

If you are an Asatru vendor or craftsman, you are welcome to sell your wares at the AlThing. You are

expected to donate a suitable item to the AlThing fund raising auction.

All are encouraged to participate in the Viking Games. We will have heavy and light caber toss, light

axe throwing, spear throwing, hammer throw, javelin throw, a foot race, the pillage and cut and

possibly a few more. There will be games for the children and all participants will receive an award.

Everyone is encouraged to bring an item to donate to the Alliance fund raising auction.

If you have a Guild presentation or want to conduct a seminar of special interest, please let us know

in advance so that we can schedule your presentation.

Guests who are not a member of an Asatru Alliance Kindred must be approved personally by

Valgard Murray.

If you have any questions or comments, please write us, or you can call World Tree Publications

during normal business hours at:

928-474-1010. Our fax is the same number. Our e-mail is valgard@asatru.org.
