This includes volunteering at any Pennsic station (A&S point, Heralds point, security, gate, and so forth), Waterbearing, Marshaling, and serving the Midrealm or it's allies in capacity of retaining, guard, or POD. This also includes serving the Barony in hours of help during setup weekend and/or help with the two Baronial Tournaments we're running. If there are other things you've volunteered for, please ask! Please keep track of your hours and we'll review in court on Wednesday night. Any hours reserved but not served for Thursday or Friday will still be counted towards the goal. We encourage you all to come lend a
hand, meet new friends, and learn what goes on behind the scenes!</div>
