land of the Frost Giant, Ymir.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>The Barony should feel proud this day, for our generosity was
noted by the whole Kingdom. The populace of our fair barony opened their hearts
and their purse strings to give in the name of a most worthy charity. It seems
that though we are not the largest in population, we are the biggest in heart.
The Barony donated far more than our fair share, contributing $370 of the $3100
raised for the American Breast Cancer Foundation. I was proud to represent all
of you in the Free Scholar's tournament held today. Alas, I did not go far
in that tournament, as I was a bit tired by that time from my efforts in the
earlier tournament, and the illness that plagued me all week finally took
its toll. I did give my best, and the Barony was well represented. We won the
part that counts, and that is in the category of nobility in the form of
generosity.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT size=2>I bring back two glorious favors done by the hand of the fair
Duchess Isobel for our newly raised Baron and Baroness as thanks for our
efforts. She was also gracious enough to bestow a favor upon this most unworthy
subject.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Be glad of your efforts, for they are worthy, and we all
contributed to a most worthy endeavor. Vivants to all Stierbachi! It was my
greatest pleasure, and honor to serve our former Baroness, Ursula,
and our new one, Briana, in this endeavour.</FONT></DIV>
