<div>The present Premier Bard is feeling slightly better and has found her voice. I am working my way through the plethora of diverse and stimulating topics at hand.</div> <div>I also find it easier to do this in person, so......I too will be there, Master Robin.</div> <div>I hope that we, as a community will work together to strenghten the Arts, the Bards, and the Kingdom with our combined talents and devotion to each. </div> <div>I believe we are stronger in this Kingdom than we know and only need a bit of a push in the proverbial arse to get going..........as this ever expanding list would indeed seem to indicate!</div> <div> </div> <div>Still a bit run down, but definitly not out,</div> <div>Elanor</div> <div>PBA<BR><BR><B><I>Jay Rudin <rudin@ev1.net></I></B> wrote:</div> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq style="PADDING-LEFT: 5px; MARGIN-LEFT: 5px; BORDER-LEFT: #1010ff 2px solid">Maggie asked:<BR><BR><BR>> Master Robin,<BR>><BR>> Do you intend to

happening. If the old <BR>charter represents the will of the current bards, great -- we'll use it. <BR>But we shouldn't decide what we "intend" to do, separate from what we -- all <BR>of us -- want from the College.<BR><BR>> I would be willing to come.<BR><BR>Wonderful!
