For the ballroom. First 2 rows on both sides of the main center isle, we are going to to remove every other chair and designate them ADA. Every 3rd row down the center of the isle we are going to remove 2 chairs for those with mobility aides who use them for seating.

We would appreciate it if everyone would not stand on the sides of the room where the doors are, this creates a blocking hazard and makes it hard for those with mobility issues to get safely into the room. We will be monitoring this and asking people to please take a seat or stand in the back of the room where there will be space.

Greetings An Tir! Please see the following for the Peer Auction for 12th Night 2026 from the peer auction team. Started in 2001 by the Knights of An Tir, the Kingdom of An Tir, through this silent auction alone, has raised over $51,000 to donate to various Charities. (For More info – see our Wiki! (<https://antir.sca.wiki/index.php?title=12th_Night_Peers_Auction>) This year, Their Most Royal Majesties Achaxe and Octamasades have determined that we should aid the mighty mission to fight for human rights across our Nation. The American Civil Liberties Union is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization (tax ID #13-6213516) that “dares to create a more perfect union — beyond one person, party, or side. Our mission is to realize this promise of the United States Constitution for all and expand the reach of its guarantees.” (<https://www.aclu.org/>) We hope that you will consider a donation of your time and skills for a worthy cause and help us uphold this commendable tradition of giving from our great Kingdom. All donations must be sponsored by a Peer. Royal Peers, Knights, Masters of Arms, Laurels, Pelicans, Marks and Members of the Order of Defense are all encouraged to sponsor a populace member’s donation or to donate themselves.
