<Tagline>ANCS Council Fall 2020 Welcome Letter</Tagline>

<![CDATA[

    <div>Salvete and `Χαίρετε!</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Welcome back! I hope you're all well and settling into online classes and activities! We at the Ancient Studies Council have planned to host a number of events this fall. We hope to meet you all and our members more than ever before in this unprecedented time.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>My name is Gobby Caggiano and I'm serving as president this year—with Dakota Pereira as Vice President and Abigail Kennedy as our Treasurer. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Ancient Studies Council's Involvement Fest virtual event will be on Wednesday, September 9 on WebEx from 12-2pm. We'll be able to talk about Ancient Studies, the major itself, events planned, and our member engagement for this year. All of the council leadership has been working hard to involve our members through online means and we hope to keep in consistent communication.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>For our first event, we'll be hosting a virtual movie night and streaming <em>Thermae Romae. </em>Following the movie, we'll have a Q&amp;A with Dr. Jones-Lewis! </li>
    <li>For our second event of the semester, we'll have our annual ancient history themed Dungeons &amp; Dragons session, Alea Iacta Est.</li>
    <li>Finally for our last event, we'll be hosting an ancient history themed trivia night with prizes!</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div><div><span><br></span></div></div>
    <div>As details solidify, we'll make announcements with dates and times for these events! In addition, we are still looking for another officer to join the council for the position of secretary. If you're interested, please email me, Dakota or Abigail! If you have any questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out to us as well. </div>
    <div><br></div>

<Title>Welcome to UMBC Fencing</Title>
<Tagline>Important Information to Know</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>We're one of UMBC's oldest club sports programs. UMBC
    Fencing seeks to provide knowledge and training of the Olympic sport of
    fencing, in all three disciplines. No previous training or knowledge is required!</p>
    
    <p>Our goal is to develop athletes and compete in collegiate
    tournaments both locally and nationally, as well as foster a love of the sport
    for those who do not wish to compete. All our officers and captains are
    dedicated to sharing their love and knowledge of the sport with anyone who is
    interested. </p>
    
    <p> </p>
    
    <p>Our current officers can be reached by email at <a href="mailto:UMBCFencing@gmail.com" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">UMBCFencing@gmail.com</a></p>
    
    <p>We are also active on both Facebook and Instagram
    (@UMBCFencing), periodically updating both with what the team has been up to.</p>
    
    <p> </p>
    
    <p>Please reach out with any questions or if you are interested
    in joining or being added to the email list!</p>
    
    <p><strong> </strong></p>
    
    <p><strong><em>WHAT IS FENCING?</em></strong></p>
    
    <p><span>Fencing is an armed combat
    sport, consisting of three different weapon types, foil, epee, and sabre.
    Points are scored by making contact with certain points on your opponent.</span></p>
    
    <p><strong><span>Foil</span></strong><span> is one of the two
    stabbing based weapons. The target area is the chest of the opponent. The blade
    itself is flexible and has the smaller bell-style guard.</span></p>
    
    <p><span><strong><span>Epee</span></strong><span> is the other stabbing based weapon. Its target area is the entire
    body, which usually causes the matches to be a bit longer. The weapon has a
    thicker blade and the large bell guard. </span></span></p>
    
    <p><span><strong><span>Sabre</span></strong><span> is the slashing weapon. Everything from the waist up, except for
    hands is a target, and it moves the fastest of all the classes. The weapon has
    a slightly shorter blade, and a guard that resembles a Calvary sword.</span></span></p>
