Proudly Presenting a New York City Tradition --- Ringbearer's Day 2005

Last year was truly memorable and many thanks to all who helped organize
our2004 event. This year to mark the occasion of 50 years of Lord of the
Rings we wished to make this event even more to remember.

To help us celebrate, the renowned Tolkien-inspired Italian band Giuseppe
Festa and Lingalad will be making their first New York appearance
exclusively at Ringbearers Day 2005. Lingalad performed for audiences at the
Gathering of the Fellowship December 2003, which took us all on a journey
of magic, beauty and enchantment through their music. Massimo Piccioli of Filmaker, will be filming Lingalad's extended
concert DVD "The Paths of Lingalad"
Lingalad's CD's and 1st Concert DVD will be available for purchase

Tolkien Scholar Michael Drout, (editor of Tolkien Studies, Beowulf and the
Critics, and recipient of the Mythopoeic Scholarship Award for Inklings
Studies for 2003) will be speaking about Tolkien and taking part in our
Panel Discussion: "Honoring Tolkien: 50 Years of The Lord of the Rings"

Ancanar Presentation
A special presentation will be screened of never-before-seen footage,
interviews, and an update on the film's progress. Commentary and discussion
will follow by weaponsmiths Joe Piela and Jenna Brocious, as well as Heren
Istarion chairs Anthony S Burdge and Jessica Burke. Free postcards will be
given away, autographed by the cast and crew.
More details of the presentation will be updated on this in the near future

The Arms and Armour of Middle-earth and Ancanar
It is our pleasure to welcome back Master Metal Smiths Joe Piela and Jenna

Ringbearers Day to help benefit Tsunami relief efforts via The White Tree
Fund:

On December 26th, 2004, the countries on the rim of the Indian Ocean
experienced a natural disaster unlike any in our time. Over 150,000 people
were killed and over one million lives have been left in chaos and
destruction. The White Tree Fund has been organized as a response to the
tsunami disaster, and resulting overwhelming needs of survivors by Lord of
the Rings/Tolkien communities around the globe.

We have taken as our symbol, the White Tree of the Kings which stood in
Gondor. The Tree is a symbol of renewal, healing and enduring hope, and
inspires us to work for that now.

The Fund works with three relief agencies doing work in the affected areas,
Direct Relief International, Save the Children and Habitat for Humanity.
Each of these agencies is doing excellent work in a responsible, ethical and
accountable manner. 100% of all funds donated will go to the relief
agencies. For more information on these agencies or to make a donation,
please see The White Tree Fund website.

We are proud to launch The White Tree Fund with our foremost partners, War
of the Ring.net, Monsters & Critics, Middle-earth Reunion, Heren Istarion
(the New York Tolkien Society), The Gathering of the Fellowship 2006, and
Tolkien Forever. And our list of partners continues to grow. This is a
testament to the strength of our common fellowship and understanding.
Wherever you are, we urge you to join us and help if you can. For

Even though this is Tolkien-related, should this not go in the advertising thread?
