[Elfsea] Defender Feast Thank You

[Joe Pelfrey]

Greetings unto the fine Barony of Elfsea and the Canton of Dragonsfire Tor,

It had been 10 years since my last feast.  Much has changed in the Society during that time, but one thing that has not changed is the willingness of people to support one another and work very hard so that others may enjoy their labor.  The list of people who helped me with the feast is large: from those who helped with planning, to cooking, cleaning and finally serving the feast.  I ask your indulgence as I list these fine folks and their contribution.  I ask their indulgence that my poor memory not be considered poor appreciation for the support they provided to me.

I am forever in service to the Barony, Their Excellencies and Their Majesties.

Lord William Palfrey

His Excellency Alejandro, Their Excellencies Gerhart and Elspeth, Countess Elizabeth and Countess Amelot – thank you for trusting me with this.  I enjoyed this opportunity and hope that I maintain your trust for future endeavors.

Her Excellency Lauretta – thank you for all of the time we spent together and building the script for how the evening should unfold.  Thank you also for keeping the populace entertained while food was prepared and served.

Lord Padraig and Don Robin – Thank you both for the entertainment you provided, your exuberance was heard even in the kitchen.
