<p class=MsoNormal>We are still evaluating the results of the tavern we ran at
BAM to benefit Elfsea. The number of customers was not as high as expected, but
those we had were enthusiastic. Since much of the ingredients for our products
are common to products I sell in my cafes, I’m selling unused stock to
the cafes. When we get through accounting for that transfer we will know what
profits remain. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to thank some of the people who gave up time
from the event to help cook or serve. We did two breakfasts, two lunches, and a
dinner. That is a lot of hours of work. Lord Daniel and his lovely Lady Elayne
who worked many shifts, helped with setup, and were invaluable. Two of their
camp (please forgive me as I am bad with names) also took several shifts
running the cash box, serving, and being where we needed them.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Rua also worked many shifts as a tavern wench despite the
cold. Crandall also spent most of his time at the event in the tavern cooking
and serving. Elspeth got us the front area processes down and trained us all.
And my wonderful lady HL Kermegan (Pyro) worked all her waking hours doing
whatever was needed.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Additionally, HL Ascelyn, her son, and his friend helped
with the cleanup and loading of the trailer. They did a great job.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Running a tavern is rarely a one person job. It takes a lot
of preparation, setup, lots of work cooking and serving, and shutdown. Thanks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>In service,<o:p></o:p></p>
