<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>It
takes a lot of people to put on an event and there is never enough time to
thank them all properly.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To
begin with, there are Their Excellencies Katheryn Cunningham of the Barony of
the Steppes and, Daire de Haya and Druinne de Saliesbery, Baron and Baroness of
Elfsea, along with with Duchess Conal O'Rhioghbardain, Central Regional
Seneschal who favored me with their confidence and allowed me to be their event
steward. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Next
would have to be Count Sir Gunther Jonsson, with much help from his beautiful
Lady Elizabeth Seale, who spent countless hours planning, revising and
organizing the production of the fabulous repast we all enjoyed. I usually have
many reservations about having feast, but everything I tried was delicious! <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The
Canton of Glaslyn, who put in for running gate even before I had decided to
advance my bid. They did a tireless job and I know Baroness Ceinwen will give
them all the word fame they deserve for their efforts.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To
Honorable Lady Rixende de Rouen, my co-event steward, who helped so much before
the event co-ordinating the Elfsea efforts and gathering the decorations so
that the hall would shine with both Steppes and Elfseas colors and heraldry. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To
Mistress Rhiannon ferch Cian who co-ordinated with Master Robin of Gilwell and
told us of the site which met our needs so well. And further more to Mistress
Rhiannon for being the site liaison and allowed us in to the site after close
on Friday and again early the next day for setup. Then stayed through closing
to make sure all of our site needs and responsibilities were accomplished as
well as lending us a hand in setup and tear down in the bargain. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To
Lady Vivianna Roundtree, who stepped up at the last minute to put all that had
been gathered together and made the hall as beautiful as could be given such
short notice. She has always stepped up when a call has gone out and her
recognition of being given an acorn of the Steppes at 12 <sup>th</sup> Night
was very well deserved.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Lord
Damon Xantos stepped forward, as always, and obtained a trailer at the last
minute to haul all of the Steppes equipment and especially the stage when the
on site stage became unavailable at the last hour.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>To
Sior Tomas, who came in and helped with setup on Friday night and helped so
much in arranging the hall and merchant areas.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The
setup crew Friday night consisted of Baroness Katheryn, Mistress Rhiannon, HL
Rixende, Sior Tomas, Daniel, Lady Vivianna, Lady Regan, and Lord Will Merric<o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>The
teardown crew numbered too many to really list them all, but here are the ones
I remember: Baroness Katheryn, Baron Daire, Baroness Druinne, Baroness
Franchesca, Mistress Rhiannon, HL Rixende, Sior Tomas, Sir Gunther, Lady
Elizabeth, Lord Damon Xantos, Lady Vivianna Roundtree, Don Sebastian, Lady
Adelaide, Lady Maggie, Lady Regan, Lord Gustav, and a number of our youth to
whom I must apologize for not knowing your names, especially the two who
vacuumed the entire hall. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>Lastly,
the load in crew of Lady Vivianna and Lord Damon who got everything back into
storage after a very long event.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
