<DIV>I want to give a huge VIVAT to everyone that helped with
Lughnasad!! If you did anything that helped make this event happen PLEASE pat
yourself on the back for a job well done. The auto-o-crats did a fantastic job I
know this was the largest Lughnasad so far. I believe we came in under budget, a
huge thank you to the members of the Shire for all of their donations
(especially the Golf carts, thanks, Wolfie). The youth of Loch
Ruadh deserve a big thank you for all of the work they did and the steps
they saved the older generation by running errands!! The Feast was fantastic,
all the coordinators did fantastic jobs and I can't thank the
auto-o-crats enough!! As a Seneschal, this WAS the smoothest Lughnasad ever.
VIVAT!! the Shire of Loch Ruadh!!</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Each year the Seneschal of Loch Ruadh gives recognition to individuals that
have made their job as Seneschal look good, this year those people were:
Polydore Pike, Tegwared McAuley and Aingeal Blair Mac an Ghabhann. Thank you so
much for the time and effort you give to the Shire!! I would like to
profusely thank my deputy, Caerell Mac Domnaill, for making those presentations
for me, as I was unable to do so myself. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>VIVAT the Shire of Loch Ruadh!!!</DIV>
<DIV><BR>In service,</DIV>
