Subject: 9th annual FENCEATHON to be held Oct. 17-18 in Owings Mills, MD

Dear Fencing Enthusiast:
Cat got your tongue? Better your tongue than your swords! You'll want those as
it's time once again for the Chesapeake Fencing Club's annual

FENCE-A-THON! (www.fenceathon.com<http://www.fenceathon.com/>)

You may need a cat's 9 lives to fence "all night long" at FENCEATHON 9 to be
held the evening of Friday, Oct. 17th through Saturday morning, Oct. 18th for
all three weapons at Liberty Christian School in Owings Mills!

A fun-and-fundraising event to benefit CFC and The Sisters Academy of Baltimore,
FENCE-A-THON 9 will begin with registration at 7-8 p.m. Friday, fencing starting
by 9 p.m., and conclude Saturday at 9 a.m.

Liberty Christian School is located at 11303 Liberty Road in Owings Mills.
Registration is $25 (pre-register by October 10th and receive a free
commemorative CFC 9th Fenceathon T-shirt with logo created by Crowolf Design)
and is open to all fencers.

Realize we're not talking a tournament here. This is a fencing marathon! Like a
benefit walk, we need you to get your family, friends, co-workers, enemies,
people on prison work-release, whomever, to sponsor you -- $1 a bout, $2, $5,
whatever people are willing to give. The more bouts you fence, the more money
you raise! (Lump sum donations also accepted. Please make checks payable to the
Chesapeake Fencing Club).

Trophies will be awarded for most bouts fenced and most bouts ref'd. This year,
trophies will also be presented to winners in the Y-10 and Y-12 categories for
most bouts fenced. All bouts must be fenced according to USFA rules, just like
a tournament.

If you'd rather not fence, but would like to referee, same rules apply. People
will sponsor you for the number of bouts you ref. Of course, whether you're
fencing or reffing, the more sponsors you find, the more bucks come in to CFC
and The Sisters Academy of Baltimore! (The Sisters Academy of Baltimore is a
Catholic community-centered middle school located in southwest Baltimore City
for girls in grades 5-8).

Highlights include food, refreshments, music, videos, and door prizes throughout
the evening. In addition, we've invited our friends from the Society for
Creative Anachronism and the Mid-Atlantic Society for Historical Swordsmanship
to put on displays of their special brand of swordplay.

Parents, please be advised that since this is a benefit fencing event, not a
sleepover, we don't want to overtax the kids. You will need to complete a
medical waiver form in order to participate. This may be obtained by contacting
Dan Collins at 410-332-9714 or via email at
prguydc@...<mailto:prguydc@...>. Forms will be available day of the
event, but MUST be signed and turned in to the Registration Desk by close of
registration Friday, Oct. 17th at 8 p.m.

Our gallant FENCE-A-THON 9 event organizers are scouring Baltimore's business
community for donated items that will serve as DOOR PRIZES throughout the
evening. If you also know a business, vendor, etc., that might donate a prize,
let Dan Collins know at 410-332-9714 or email him at
prguydc@...<mailto:prguydc@...>. Tell your fencing friends about our
event! You want to bring some sodas, ice, sandwiches, pizza, heck, we'll take
it, we're not shy!

If you have questions about this event, please call Ray Gordon at 410-532-7445
or Dan Collins at 410-332-9714.
Come be a part of history; others may try and imitate us, but we were the FIRST!
We look forward to seeing you at the
FENCE-A-THON 9!

Sincerely,

Dan Collins
Ray Gordon
CFC Fence-A-Thon 2008 Coordinator President,
