<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One thing comes to mind ... they already have an
AoA. I have one but not a Comet or a Crane. I've been in the SCA for
7 years, got my AoA after about a year and a half and haven't had an award
since. I got the AoA probably because I took on the job of Minister of
Children for Gate's Edge. And I actually got my AoA at the first event
that I did Children's Activities at and it wasn't my Canton's event. I was
called by the Autocrat for Queens that year who told me that the MoC
for Stargate couldn't be at the event and asked if I could do the Childrens
Activities. I did. Interestingly, I got my AoA the night that Nessa
got her Pelican. It was a very special night for me. </FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings all, </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Daniel saved me from looking up the direct quote
and what he says is correct.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Ansteorra has an award for service to a shire or
canton - it is called the Sable Comet.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>One of the cool things about living in a Barony
or being in a Canton is that the Barony has landeds who can give out
non-armiguous awards, sometimes referred to as "cookies". Shires do not
have landed nobility and thus are deprived of that priviledge. They also
have less of an officer roster to maintain and lower minimum membership
requirements.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>My question here goes deeper...why would you want
to recoginize someone for service to their local group and _not_ put them in
for an AoA? If they are working that hard, then they need
recognition. If it is a matter of how long they have been in (and I do
believe that we should see some sort of intent to stick around), then word
fame, public thank yous, and the like are great ways to encourage good
behavior that will need to be recorded and remembered for the day when the rec
goes in.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Jayme, no confusion involved. I am
familiar with the Company of the Sable Ram. Yes they are very
similar. We do not always ask for suggestions from the populace, just
like to keep a finger on what the rest of members of the Shire think.
Heck, we even had someone who put in their own name. Needless to
say. More than anything my post was more of a brief description of
what we are and how we pick potentials. It was also done to show that
they do fit within the parameters that Kihe set forth. As for Star's
opinion I for one would be glad to hear and read the advice given.
