Avistrum Academy of Sorcery

Greetings to all!

We at Avistrum hope that everyone of all cultures and beliefs are enjoying the holiday season. We also invite you to come back to our forums as they are finally becoming active once again, but we need YOU to keep them that way.

Congratulations to Trent Voertigern! Our former Head Boy of Avistrum is now a teaching intern and will be running the Potions Laboratory.

Another round of applause to our former Head Girl, Audrey “Trouble” Deserand, who is now a teaching intern at Avistrum.

Our new Head Boy, Solace Mare is going to be a teacher’s assistant for Defense Against the Dark Arts. Congrats, Solace Mare!

Within a few weeks, pay close attention as we will be announcing the theme for Starfest 2009, coming up this April. It’s going to be big.

We hope to hear and see all of you soon! Any questions, please send an owl to me, Professor Clark Dowling, at headmaster@avistrum.org.

Thanks to everyone who joined us for MileHiCon 40! We hope everyone had as much fun this past weekend as we did. A full recap of our show, Tales from Avistrum: The Chalice of Khufu, will be up in a few days, hopefully along with photos. Our previously-scheduled show, Tales from Avistrum: Founder’s Prophecy, will appear next year at MileHiCon 41 instead. We hope to have pre-registration available for that show soon.

Thanks to everyone who attended our events at Starfest 2008! We had a great time, and we hope you did, too! Congratulations to our contest winners! We have Quidditch photos up in our new photo gallery. Check them out!

Did you get a chance to see the faculty and staff of Avistrum on CW2 Denver’s morning newscast Thursday? We were there to help promote Starfest 2008 (which starts today - come see us!). If you missed it, you can see the video by going to feature reporter Chris Parente’s page (http://www.cw2.com/chrisparente) and clicking on “Starfest invades Denver”.

Also, don’t miss the Headmaster in today’s Spotlight section in the Rocky Mountain News (not viewable unless you’re a subscriber).

We’re looking forward to Starfest - hope you are, too!

We know you’ve been quivering with anticipation, so we are happy to announce Avistrum’s schedule of events for Starfest 2008!
