[Elfsea] Thank You Springfaire Gate Volunteers

[Armand Dragonetti]

To paraphrase a famous quote: "Armand is slow, but he is old."  So please
accept my apologies and sincere "Thank You" to Caius, who not only sat at
gate from 2am-4:30am, cooked for Their Excellencies and some 28 others, but
also helped pick up the stuff from troll on the way off site Sunday. In
addition to Caius, Arabella and Caelin helped get that stuff off site and
Raimond, Caelin and Daniel of Cameron helped tear down the pavilion and
clean up the area. Thank you, thank you, thank you. You folks are wonderful
and I owe you big.

Ceatta,

Wolf

to

woe.

please
