Greetings from your Lilies War “Drums of War” Staff! Read on for this week’s Lilies War updates and announcements:

Site Tours
Tours that are open to the public are held on Sunday, June 8 2025 from 9am-3pm. If you have friends, colleagues, neighbors who have been curious about Lilies and you want them to see what it’s all about, this is the opportunity for them!
Interested parties should park in the parking lot and come to the Gate. Tour Guides will meet you there and depart when either a large enough group is assembled, or people have been gathered for around 30 minutes. The tours are walking tours, so those attending should bring good shoes and be prepared for whatever the weather may bring.

Gate Volunteers needed
We need Gate Volunteers! Working gate is a fun way to get to meet your fellow SCA-dians, and at Lilies you’ll be sitting in the shade while you do it.
We need more than just gate volunteers though – we need golf cart drivers, marshals, heralds, port o’ john re-stockers, shower house clean-up crew, and so much more. Thank you to everyone that has already volunteered, and to those that will soon. Head to the website and sign up now: https://www.lilieswar.org/lilies-war/volunteers/
