<DIV><SPAN class=828444515-21072004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Will the Regional,
DK, and Kingdom Chirurgeons and Waterbearers please contact me. I'm
looking for what 3 events you will attend next. That way I can try and
figure out how to get your cloak back to you. It also seems a fair way to
get these cloaks back to their current 'owners'. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=828444515-21072004><FONT face=Arial size=2>Please
remember: these are velvet. They really should be worn for Court and
other indoor activities only. They cannot be ironed (unless you have a
pinboard), and must be dry-cleaned. So far, the velvet loses wrinkles
quickly when the cloak is hung up, so that's a good thing. I've ironed the
cotton lining separately, and that works, too.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=828444515-21072004><FONT face=Arial size=2>If anyone can help
me figure out how to (inexpensively) attach the beaded Ansteorran stars such
that they can be removed for the dry-cleaning process, please contact me,
too. Most dry-cleaners won't accept the beads, or will press them so
deeply into the velvet pile as to ruin both. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=828444515-21072004><FONT face=Arial size=2>AND: I am
embroidering the names of all current officers into the cloaks. If you
know the history of your office (or can find it easily), I'd like to get those
names in above yours as a sort of living lineage. If you have that info
now, please send it to me - and I'll get it into the cloak before it gets back
to you. </FONT></SPAN></DIV>
