<BODY bgColor=#ffffff>
<DIV>Many thanks to all of you that came out and helped for Crown.</DIV>
<DIV>The heroes that came forward to catch the fall-throughs are
"amazing".</DIV>
<DIV>Mirabelus will be making her own post, </DIV>
<DIV>but I wanted to tip my hat for your efforts as well.</DIV>
<DIV>I saw nothing but smiles all day.</DIV>
<DIV>Those that were there were happy to be there.</DIV>
<DIV>Again, great job.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We have had our first event at our new site </DIV>
<DIV>and others have inquired as to it's availability.</DIV>
<DIV>That is a great thing.</DIV>
<DIV>The more the site is used, </DIV>
<DIV>the more money will be available for improvements.</DIV>
<DIV>Now that people in the Kingdom are talking about our new site, </DIV>
<DIV>they will need something to call it.</DIV>
<DIV>Yes, yes, I know, I'm the one that has been dragging his feet on
this.</DIV>
<DIV>However, we have been on site for 1 1/2 years now.</DIV>
<DIV>We should be able to come up with something.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I will give a few thoughts that I have, </DIV>
<DIV>but it is up to the general populace to come up </DIV>
<DIV>with something that rolls off the thong.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>"The Gamber Site" is the obvious thing that comes to mind.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We could go with something off the wall like "Site 61"</DIV>
<DIV>since the sixty-first Crown was it's very first SCA event.</DIV>
<DIV>That IS something cool to remember.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If we want to be Ravenish we could use "RavenField".</DIV>
<DIV>The beautiful field with it's ring of shade trees </DIV>
<DIV>is one of the striking assets of the site.</DIV>
<DIV>There is a very large hawk with a red breast that hunts the
field.</DIV>
<DIV>I have seen her / him there twice and over head.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again, just my two cents.</DIV>
<DIV>The Kingdom will be talking, </DIV>
<DIV>so if we want to be the ones to pick the name</DIV>
<DIV>now is the time to decide.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In closing, I would like to congratulate Elrique </DIV>
<DIV>for being made a member of the Order of the Feather.</DIV>
<DIV>Our new brother has time and again proven through generosity</DIV>
<DIV>that within him truly beats the heart of a Raven.</DIV>
<DIV>There will always be a home for him here.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Peace,</DIV>
