<p class=MsoNormal>Just as Sapphire Joust is wrapping up, we would like to take
a minute to thank everyone that was involved in making the Baronial
presence happen. Many from all over these great Lands volunteered their time,
skills and resources to make this event an outstanding one for the Barony. The
Barony had its first official Baronial hospitality at Sapphire Joust. It was a
great success, we had more food and drinks <span style='color:navy'>than</span>
anyone could have imagined. The Barony also fielded members in all the marshal
disciplines of the day, each member performing admirably and making the
presence of this great Barony felt throughout the event. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>If anyone has suggestions on how to improve Baronial
hospitality, please feel free to let us or our Baronial hospitality coordinator
Lady Ceit (<span style='color:navy'><a href="mailto:hmfredericks05@aol.com">hmfredericks05@aol.com</a>)
</span>know. One final note on hospitality, this is for all members and friends
of the Barony. If you are a member of the Barony or a friend of the Barony
please feel free to stop by, say hello and grab a snack. Past, present and
future members and friends are always welcome. If you see someone at an event
that falls into this category, please invite them over and let them know they
are welcome. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>On a personal note, Rhonwen and I would like to thank
all of those that retained for us. From helping setup all the pavilions
to making sure we were well watered and fed and last but certainly not least
assisting with child care (a duty that goes above and beyond the call of any
retainer). Without your help and companionship being Baron and Baroness would
be an impossible job. <o:p></o:p></p>
