RF - Raven's Heart stuff....

[Paul Gilbert]

Greetings.......

OK, Members of The Order, we now have our task's.

Tally Ho!!!!!!!!!!

Keif, can you please bring the charter scroll you have to the meeting.

Do we need Arturus, as herald to come?

I have some ideas on the medallion. I have a platter and have several ideas 
on possibilities.

And last, but not least, this would be a great time to have a "circle" as 
we do have events coming up (Day in the Garden and Defender).

See everyone Monday nite.

In Service,

HL Niklas
