<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings...</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Having now unpacked, showered and settled down with
my cats, I feel the need to express a large THANK YOU to each of you who helped
me in the kitchen this weekend. I could not have dealt with the 150 game
hens, hundreds of bourbon balls</FONT><FONT face=Arial size=2> and truffles and
everthing else alone, that is certain.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I would also like to single out Eldern Hills for a
special Thank You. Not only did various members of their populace help
with getting feast ready, they also served feast and washed dishes after.
You all were blessings to a very tired Northkeep kitchen staff. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I know some people wanted recipes for things from
feast so please e-mail me with specifics.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Finally, thanks, Northern Region, for a fun
event. Looking forward to next year.</FONT></DIV>
