<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=4><STRONG>Greetings Fellow Shire
Members!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>Just a quick
reminder</FONT></STRONG> that tonight....yes, this very night...in conjunction
with Lord Eric's scribal is your opportunity to paint your own belt favor to
proudly proclaim that <STRONG>you </STRONG>are one of those extremely lucky
persons...that <STRONG>you </STRONG>hail from the <STRONG>Shire of
Gatesedge!!!!</STRONG></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>HL
Cecilie</FONT></STRONG> was kind enough to sew <STRONG>50 blank belt
favors</STRONG> from the cloth I brought to the last populace meeting. Lord
Bronngarr was lucky enough to be sitting next to me and received the 1st of
these belt favors from my hand. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>It matters
not</FONT></STRONG> if you do not feel artistically able to paint your own
entire belt favor. You can help by tracing the shield shape using the templates
I am bringing. You can help by painting the green chief or the white base.
Others will help by painting the details. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>What matters
is</FONT></STRONG> that we have been neglectful of the necessary regalia to
proclaim our Pride in our Shire. Many years ago, Baron Talmon and his beloved
Baroness Adelicia made dozens of belt favors for the members of the (then)
Canton of Gatesedge. Alas! Years and attrition have devoured all but a few and
our populace goes naked without being able to bear the Device of our
Shire.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><STRONG><FONT color=#800000>This is about to
end!</FONT></STRONG> Come one! Come all! All that stands between you and a
proper belt favor is yourself!!!!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Paints, favors, brushes, water, and all will be
provided for you. I hope to see many smiling faces tonight at Kinsman Lutheran
Church on Champions Forest Drive. Room 17. 7:30 pm. Until then, I
remain...</FONT></DIV>
