<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Greetings to the Populace of the Barony of Stierbach from
your Baroness,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Last night at the traveling business meeting I made a
proposal that we present the Kingdom with a gift at 12<sup>th</sup> night.
I felt this was an appropriate thing to do since it is being held in a <st1:City
w:st="on"><st1:place w:st="on">Canton</st1:place></st1:City> of this Barony.
To me a gift to the kingdom needs to be useful, reach many people and can be accessible
to many more.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>My proposal was that we create reusable scroll holders.
I am sure many of you have either been in the position (or have known those who
have) of receiving an award and then facing the dilemma of how in the world do
I get it home in one piece. If a scroll holder was offered to transport
it home safely I am sure there are many out there who would be grateful. <o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'><o:p> </o:p></span></font></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>These holders would be given to the Kingdom to loan out to
people who need to transport their scrolls home. Those people can then
turn them back into their local scribes, heralds, Signet or Their Majesties for
further use in transporting court business. Inside will be the following
statement:<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

transport your scroll. Please return it to your local scriptorium, the

holder as well.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>There are two ways to participate in this challenge.
You can donate materials, or you can volunteer to make holders, or both. I
have written directions that can be located off the Baronial website on how to
make quick and easy scroll holders. <a

<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>I have set a personal goal of doing 25 of these for the
kingdom, with at least 13 ready for 12<sup>th</sup> night. I would love
to see how many we can do together. Last night there were comments about
making enough so that they equaled my height (5’5” if you are
wondering) and a rough calculation would be 65 holders. EASILY DONE!!!<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
