ADLOCVTIO
NEWSLETTER OF THE TWENTIETH LEGION
Vol. XXI, no. v-vi, May-June 2011
Mea culpa for the combined May and June issue--I
can't promise that it won't happen again.
ROMAN DAYS!
Enormous Thanks to Chief Organizer Deb Fuller and
EVERYone else who worked so hard to make Roman Days a success again
this year! I hope everyone had as good a time as I had.
There's a nice little review of the event here: http://riverdalepark.patch.com/articles/riversdale-house-museum-goes-roman-for-the-weekend
LUPERCALIA!
Enormous Thanks to Richard and Allison for a most
excellent Party! It was great to see everyone there. And
holy smokes, did we EAT…
FOREIGN LANGUAGE ACADEMY
On Saturday July 2 the Legion will appear at
Randolph Macon College in Ashland, VA, for the Latin students of the
Governor's Foreign Language Academy. We will be performing
from 1 PM to 4 PM, and the audience is expected to be knowledgeable and
enthusiastic. A few of our allies from Legio IX plan to join
us. I'll send around more details and directions when I get them,
but please let me know if you hope to attend.
SEPTEMBER EVENTS
We have invitations to 2 successive events in
September: VA Scottish Games on the 3rd and 4th, and Hartwood Days on
the 10th. We've done both of them in the past couple years,
and we can certainly do both this year if folks are up for
them! Tell me your thoughts.
VJCL
Here's one we should put some effort into, the
Virginia Junior Classical League convention in Richmond, VA on November
20-21 (Sunday and Monday). Our hosts will be reimbursing us for
travel, hotel, and food expenses! Plus it's an indoor event with
1700 Latin and Classics students, and we will be "keynote
speakers". We will most likely be discussing this further on the
Roman Days list, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/romandays/
