Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as "bad luck."

I see there is a page on the website where people can volunteer to participate:

Just email volunteers@spiritofvincennes.org to help.

All,

Here's the updated schedule, Yellowhousejake will be giving all 3 strikes of the match twice each day - 10-11 and 2:30-3:30.  We'll also have a shady spot all day for folks to come by and talk about the program. The Rendezvous typically has 10,000 plus attendees each day so YHJ has a large potential audience.

Does Indiana AS have a booth set up there that we are volunteering to help at or handing our tri folds?

We'll have a lean to that we can work out of.  You need to be in period clothing to work the event.

Niecie and I will be there in support roles but YHJ will be in period clothing and shouldering the bulk of the work.  A large turnout from Appleseeders in T-shirts would be great.  It is a lot of fun and you'll see things to add to your Strike presentations just from observing the re-enactors.

Now if you happen to have period clothing and would like to volunteer to help, please contact YHJ and myself ASAP.

It does not take a majority of cats to prevail... but rather an irate, tireless minority, keen on setting brushfires of freedom in the minds of men and breaking stuff in their houses.
