[Southern] Merger

[Jan Van Zandt]

There were no zip codes available to be 'returned' or divided out. 
 
100% of the populace of the Shire of Tempio and the Shire of Tir Medoin decided to merge their lands (zip codes) to create a new shire.

Just one quick question.

Was any thought given to returning the land (zip codes) back to the Shire
they came from?

Shoot more arrows. You're bound to hit something.

I would also request you read the letter at your next populace meetings.

I wanted to say how great I think is that your two groups are considering
merging. The pollings and discussions over the last month showed an
overwhelming support for this union. If anyone has any problems or
concerns, we want to hear from you so we can address your worries. Please
feel free to email your local seneschals, Baroness Jan (your regional
seneschal), or me.

time to make new friends, and a time to create a strong foundation. The
process of merging the two groups may take a bit of time, so please have
patience. There are a lot of small details that cannot be overlooked,
including how and where to merge the bank accounts, where meetings should be
held, and what name the new group should use going forward. All officers
are affected by this change, including up the line to the Kingdom Officers.
So many, many conversations will need to be held.

revel. That is a wonderful idea. This will allow you all to get to know
one another. Looking for opportunities to do joint events, practices, and
meetings will be very beneficial going forward.

this new group. Do you wish to call it Tempio, Tir Medoin, or signify a new
beginning with a completely new name and device? I would like to request
that you take some time in the next couple of populace meetings and on your
email lists to discuss these three options. Be creative, have fun, and get
your soon to be announced regional herald involved. As you consider your
decision, keep in mind that you must have a name and device passed to attain
status as a group, so choosing a new name and device may prolong the merger,
since the name and device will have to go through the heraldic registration
process. The Heralds are ok with fast-tracking a new name and arms out of
kingdom to the College of Arms (corporate) but once it gets to corporate
there is no expedited process available. Over the next couple of months, I
recommend that you discuss the various naming options and narrow down your
list of na!

Revel, you can do the final voting.
