*The Serpent's Tale*

January 2010


This is my final issue as your Chronicler and as publisher of The Serpent's
Tale. The February newsletter will be done by your shiny new Chronicler,
Onora!


I received VERY LITTLE response from the previous missive with regards to
rebuilding the subscription list. If you wish to get a copy of the Serpent's
Tale, you will need to SEND AN EMAIL to Loch.Chronicler at gmail.com letting me
know – again – that you've subscribed. (If you're getting this
hand-delivered to your email box already, feel free to not subscribe again,
since you have already done so!)


The February issue, while emailed like always, will NOT be published through
the main Loch Soilleir mailing list.


Your patience is overwhelmingly appreciated,


Anne (exit, stage left)

*FROM THE OUTGOING SENESCHAL*

Greetings Everyone,

I'd like to take a moment and let you all know we have two new officers in
our group. Drake is now our Knight Marshal, taking over from Wissa as she
has to go to Russia. Also, Mari will be our new seneschal as of January
Round Table. Her first official meeting will be February. Her email is
mdjurgens at hotmail.com . Drake's email is drakedunnivan at yahoo.com .

It has been an honor for me to serve our barony with all of you. You've been
an awesome crew to work with and I know Mari will get good mileage out of
each of you ;-) .

In Service,

HL Hedwig, seneschal...out going

(usually) the Friday after populace, Scribal on the 4th monday of every

*RESUBSCRIBING*

Please remember to send another email to remind the hapless idiot of a
chronicler that you have subscribed – that address is

*A FINAL CHRONICLER'S NOTE*

It has been a pleasure to serve as your Chronicler for the last 2 years (and
a little extra). I've had a lot of fun, and you've been extremely patient as
I learned the ropes, got some crazy new ideas, and took the Serpent's Tale
from a traditional to a digital publication. I will continue to serve the
Loch as your Virtual Scribe for the near future, and I look forward to the
new Serpents Tale that will continue under the guiding hand of Onora and our
new officers.

Thank you all!
Yours in service (one last time, from here),

Anne
