RF - Events in Raven's Fort

[Olivia G. Rodriguez]

Hail to Raven's Fort and her children,

As it sometimes takes weeks for me to check this mailbox, there are, at times, great things to read.  

I send a huge Hazzah! to Marius for this missive.  I started in RF 5 years ago and of all of the event locations in our Kingdom that I've attended, it's home.  It's where I affiliate myself despite the fact that I now live in Bry Gwylad.  Raven's Fort is home.  It always will be no matter where I may find myself in this life's travels. The people of RF are, as Marius says, diverse, friendly, caring, open-minded (for the most part, 99% of the time) and, to me and my children, family.  

Sorry for taking up space but I had to send a cheer for this "horn blowing"...it's well deserved as far as I'm concerned.

I love my family in The Dream.

Olivia
