<DIV>Greetings, good gentles! </DIV>
<DIV>I wanted to extend my gratitude for all who joined us in fair Blacklake to celebrate Yule with our Crimson Tower Revel.</DIV>
<DIV>I also wanted to extend my thanks and recognition for all those wonderful lords and ladies without whom the event would not have been a success!</DIV>
<DIV>Very many thanks goes to Lord Brynach ap Efflam for the fine feast and to your good Lady Sorcha for her grand help in its preparation,</DIV>
<DIV>to the Blacklake kitchen crew who brought merriment and experienced hands at preparing feast, </DIV>
<DIV>to Lady Katie for organizing the servers for feast and the other myriad of tasks she undertook througout the day,</DIV>
<DIV>to the delightful bevy of teenaged ladies who served feast without mishap,</DIV>
<DIV>to Lady Alexadrina Ya Suka for coordinating gate and to all who sat gate,</DIV>
<DIV>to Her Grace Sir Britta and H. Lord Gerold Von Drachenhohle for running our Chivalric defender,</DIV>
<DIV>to Madeline Gottschalken, Lochlan Shaw, and tall Robert of Blacklake who often were my right and left hands and feet, </DIV>
<DIV>to the wonderful judges who judged our A&S competition and</DIV>
<DIV>finally and foremost to our stellar Majesties for attending our event and adding great pageantry to our celebrations.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>For the dream,</DIV>
<DIV>Ly Gianetta Malatesta</DIV></div><br>
