[Ansteorra] Special Thank You from Ansteorra's XXX celebration

I would like to add my thanks. I have showed many of my friends, clients,
and co-workers some of the pictures and mentioned it was 102 degrees F on
the field with a humidity that sometimes hit 58% and they ask "how many heat
injuries did we have?". That base temp plus humidity yields 135-137 degrees
on my heat index chart. Yet I only heard of one heat injury and he did not
require medical attention according to my source.

I tell them this is because we have a group of dedicated people call
waterbearers (with the lower case "w" these days) who make sure we are
properly hydrated. IMHO, without them we could not have fighters in 30-50
pounds of armor fighting in that heat or the rest of us watching in that
heat. 

Thanks.

In service,
Master Caelin on Andrede

Adena:
 
As the lady of a fighter, I want to thank YOU for organizing the
waterbearing activities for our 30th Year Celebration.  You and your team
peformed an invaluable service -- not only to the fighters, but to everyone
in attendance those three very hot days.  I think Mother Frances Hospital
might have been overwhelmed with heat casualties if all of you had not made
sure we stayed hydrated.
 
YIS,
 
Countess Elizabeth Seale

I wanted to send out a special thank you to all that helped me waterbear
this past weekend.? It was HOT, it was sticky and I am sure that I had my
cranky moments.? 

Thank you to everyone/groups that donated items/money.? My budget was MUCH
less strained because of the generosity of you. 

Thanks to Connie, whelp of Wolfstar, for taking over Friday night when I
just HAD to go inside to dance. 
Thanks to Emine, of Wolfstar, for taking over Sat afternoon when, well, when
I was pooped and needed a break. 
Thanks to all that helped waterbear, hold down the fort and lug and carry
heavy jugs; Ellie and Shae, Cadfel, Oshikaga.? You may not have wanted to
help, but that is what you get for being my friends. 

Many of the above people were wrangled into helping, even if they didn't
want to.? I also wanted to thank those that helped that I didn't know, who
showed up of their own choice (I also want everyone to know that they were
ALL under 18, and many had never waterbeared before): 
Ari, Evan and Katherine... Thank you for working hard.?
(Mary) Jane, your first event and you made many of us remember just what the
dream is like.? 
Lilly, you helped until you were so tired I thought you were going to fall
asleep. 
To the three young girls who helped on Sunday, your blonde hair bobbing over
the field reminded me of when I was little.? Thanks you to and your parents
for allowing you to help. 
Vanessa-thanks for the ice.
Megan, thanks for holding it down when I was busy, and for allowing me to
not be stuck in the tent all day. 

And special thanks to Paloma and Elize (Pamama) from Mooneschadowe.? Without
you, I would likely still be there packing up.? When previous commitments
suddenly took me away from waterbearing, you took over and got everything
ready for me to just put it in my car.? A Waterbearer couldn't ask for more!

And finally, thank you to my sister.? I know that you had to help me pack at
home, un pack at site, return items when I bought to much, packed up at
site, and really, just made it so that I was able to do what I did.? Without
you there with me, it truly would have fallen apart. 


Thank you for the opportunity to serve you, 
Adena Terricsdottir
