<br clear="all">Greetings to all!<br><br>I would like to extend a hearty and heartfelt thanks to Lord Daniel and Lady Elayne for opening their home to the Bards tonight. They were very gracious to do so, and we had a wonderful time.<br>
<br>Bards, take note. The Guild can only succeed if you participate. Many of you have come to me and said what a wonderful thing it is that the Guild has restarted. Yet, I have not seen many of you at the meetings. We cannot succeed if you do not show up. If you want to see a particular subject covered, be it storytelling, songwriting or research, PLEASE let me know and I will make it happen. Then, PLEASE show up to the meetings. We have many great things planned for the next few months, and there are many bardic opportunities to be had at upcoming events. If the second Tuesday of the month doesn't work, PLEASE let me know. The Bardic meeting dates are NOT set in stone, nor are the meeting places. If you would like to host a Bardic Guild meeting, PLEASE let me know. <br>
<br>In the past, Elfsea has been renowned for her Bards. Let's make that happen again.<br><br>Until then, I shall remain...<br><br>Ever in service with a song and a smile,<br>Lady Eleanor Cleavely<br>Bard of Elfsea<br>
