===On-line Classes & Chats===
'''RUSH'''

RUSH would like to announce that for the duration of event closures due to the current epidemic, we will be offering RUSH credit for online classes that meet the following criteria.
* Classes must be at least an hour long.
* Classes must be taught by a SCA person.
* Classes must be SCA related per normal RUSH criteria.

If you teach or take a class, please send the following to RUSH@calontir.org

* Instructor’s name (mundane & SCA)
* Student’s name (mundane & SCA)
* Name of class and/or class description
* Length of class (time)

We would love to encourage the wearing of garb as one would to event classes, but we understand that during this trying time, that may not always be feasible so we are waving that requirement during this temporary offering.

If you have any questions, please contact us and we will try to get to everybody as soon as we can. And please, above all, take care of yourselves and stay healthy.

In service, Quiteria la Roja<br>
(incoming RUSH Chancellor)

[https://sites.google.com/view/dahrien-online-bardics-list/home Dahrien's List of On-line Bardic Circles].  Per Ingiborg:
* Dahrien's bardics are fun and small (pick, pass, or play)
* Three Rivers' bardics are fun and large (chat the Zoom host to be put on the list of those waiting to perform)
* Cariadoc's Enchanted Ground (in-persona) bardic. His Grace is a host in a period, middle eastern sense—he welcomes you, may ask what lands you've traveled from, and if you perform he'll respond to your piece with one of his own. (Though, sadly, he can't offer tastes of treats like he did the time I attended one of his gatherings at Pennsic.)
