Well, in a few years, that should open up even more opportunities to participate in school presentations. Cool.

I'm no expert, not by a long shot, but I must say: palpans cor mei conquiesce! Good news, indeed.

And New Rochelle, NY is in Legio III Cyrenaica's territory (East of the Hudson River). It is in the very urban area approaching New York City from the north/east just off I-95. I've gone by it on my way to Long Island via the Throgs Neck Bridge numerous times.
The big question would be: whether they would allow us to bring our weapons into the schools?

I will be looking to approach them - after discussion with our Centurio. There are some Greek reenactors in the Greater NYC area, so maybe a combined demo could be worked out. Lots of possibilities here.
