[Bordermarch] Baronial-Event Gratitude

[Dena Steele]

Greetings,
  
     I hope this finds all to be well rested after a much enjoyable event.  I would like to offer my heartfelt thanks to Their Excellencies for entrusting me with the opportunity to co-ordinate their day of baronial revelry that would determine their upcoming A&S, chivalric and rapier champions.  As always, Their Excellencies were working side by side with their populace in planning, site setup and continued working until site was torn down.  
 
    There is many thanks to be given to many people.  I would like to first offer gratitude to Lord Redmund who stood guard over baronial pavilions during the night and was constantly by my side asking "What do you need me to do?" and stating "my hands are empty!".  Many thanks to Lady Catalina - Noble's luncheon and ambiance:  Lady Bianca - gate co-ordinator:  Lady Libby - gate shift, MOC activities, banner painting class and ambiance:  Lady Erin - gate shift:  Countess Tessa - chivalric list mistress and hospitaller:  HE Amberlea - rapier list mistress:  Lady Colecte (kingdom middle eastern dance champion) - middle eastern dance class and co-ordinating Hafla with coastal drummers and middle eastern dancers in attendance:  HE Therese d'Ivoire (coastal signet) - calligraphy and illumination class:  Don Armand - rapier list:  Sir Simonn - chivalric list and chamberlain:
Lord Vaclav Slovaczek - waterbearing:  Lord Phocas - announcement:  Lady Ellen - Chivalric scroll:  HE Valencia - Rapier scroll:  Lady Lilly - A&S scroll:  Lord Sterling - hafla pavillion and setup:  Lord Adolph - site set-up (and to whom I am indebted with a debt that will best remain unpaid).  Thanks to all that made donations to the champions baskets (Lord Yagi, HE Therese d'Ivoire and the potters guild, Lady Meresankh and the fiber arts guild, Lady Libby, Countess Tessa, Lord Sterling, Lord Nicolai and Lady Padraigin.  A special thanks to Lord Elrique, Lady Gwyneth and the servers  for the magnificent feast prepared with several courses removed that offered a variety of delicacies to please all palates.   
 
     I hope that all were able to take a little more than they may have come with that day whether it may have been more skill and prowess on the tournament field, a new talent or art offered in the several classes, a new friendship or old reunited or an extra pound or two from the elegant noble's luncheon and bountiful feast offered.
 
In Service to the Dream,
