To the good gentles of the great Kingdom of Atenveldt, Greetings.


It is with a joyous heart that I am able to announce that foundation
of the Kingdom of Atenveldt Cooks Guild. On February 14th 2003, Lady
Eden Blacksmith, Kingdom Minister of Arts and Sciences selected Lady
Linette Marie Genevieve di Addabbo, to become the Cooks Guild
Leader.

The main goals of the guild are:

Ø Advance the knowledge and art of cooking in the Kingdom of
Atenveldt.
Ø Provide recognition for members.

populous can investigate the fine art of cooking.

Our first official meeting of the Guild will be in March 29, 2003 at
the Mixed Weapons War in the Barony of Sundragon, 3:00 p.m. To
become a member of the Kingdom of Atenveldt Cooks Guild you just have
to express interest and attend meetings that you are able.

Among the goals of the first meeting is to open the remaining officer
positions to the entire populace of Atenveldt. Our fledgling guild
is open and welcomes all who want to participate. I hope that during

I am hoping to make our officers a diverse group not only in skills
but also in locality. If we are to truly further the art of cooking
in our glorious kingdom we must service all of Atenveldt. Once that
is done we, as a group must move forward on creating a charter for
the Guild. This task may take several meetings but I am confidant
that the basic groundwork that was laid at Estrella War will
facilitate this process.
