[DFT] Award recommendations

[Bill Perkins]

Greetings unto the populace of Elfsea and Dragonsfire Tor from Alejandro y 
Amalia, Barón y Baronesa of Elfsea

Too often, many people in the Society do not get recognized for their works 
and contributions.  I did not receive my AoA until 10 years after playing in 
the Society, even when I was pursuivant of the College of St. Golias.  In 
times past, it was more complex to get award recommendations to the Crown, 
because of the need to write a letter - what do you say in such an open 
ended format.

Today, things are easier for all of us to submit our award recommendations.

You can go to http://www.ansteorra.org/forms/award.php and fill out the web 
form.

You can double check if the person you are recommending has the award by 
looking at the Order of Precedence at 
http://herald.ansteorra.org/OP/op-names.php .

Lastly, you can see the constitutions of the awards, to get a feel for what 
criteria the Crown looks at by reading 
http://heraldry.ansteorra.org/OP/A_constitutions.pdf

When you do fill out an award recommendation, make sure to send us a quick 
email to let us know who you recommended and why.  Sometimes the Crown does 
not know a person as well as They would like, so They ask us for our 
opinion.

So, don't delay.  We have a couple of good opportunities to recognize our 
friends in the area for their efforts, and it is better sooner than later.
