[Glaslyn] Twas the Week After 12th NIght

[Kellie Hardy]

Greetings to th Greatest Barony and Cantons Ever!

Hi, hope everyone is rested and refreshed after a great Saturday at
Steppes 12th Night!  We were so happy to see all of you there, but we
must confess to a great frustration.  We were not able to stop and just
sit and chat with so many of you; we felt like we just got to give you a
sideways glance and a frantic wave as we were hustled along from place
to place.  We are sorry for that.  We want you to know that we saw you
there, and were glad you came.
We want to thank our event stewards, Philip White and Philo Alexander,
for a great event which ran very smoothly.  You guys and your crews did
a fantastic job.  The hall looked especially lovely this year.  Our
thanks to Morgan Cain for her hard work, and that of the kitchen crew.
It is not easy to feed so many people, and you all did a good job.  We
know Philip and Philo will publish a letter of thanks to everyone who
worked on the event.  Know all of you, you have our thanks as well.
Many congratulations are in order after such wonderful honors given by
their Majesties...
