<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If memory serves, there were some updates made and

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would challenge all to go and review those

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>We need to remember that not everyone will get
every award available and that our awards are there to recognize various

challenge is to fit the award to act or acts at the right time for the right
person. Not an easy thing to do. </FONT><FONT face=Arial

good.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>And lastly, we must also remember that heartfelt

<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. </FONT></DIV>
