[MR] Many Thanks to Many People

[Malone, N.]

Unto All;
        I would like to personally express my gratitude for the efforts
you all
put forth to make Yarnvid Collegium such a success. I have heard from
many people who attended as instructors and students or just showed up
to gawk at the strange people. The response is all positive so far.
Thanks again to everyone; we had a lot of first timers and teachers and
one first-timer-in many years, All were made to feel welcome and were
included in all activities and classes as if they were old friends. You
are a wonderful bunch of people. I KNOW some of us will be working with
the local higher education system to develop more formal classes and
some of those attending for the first time will definitely be back. You
have done Yarnvid, the SCA and me a great service with much accompanying
acclaim. Thank you again.

PS This is an Autocrat's dream event; y'all do all the work I just was
there to keep saying "keep it up". I hope the event can grow somewhat
and still maintain the casual/informal atmosphere that seemed to work
OK.  Any ideas for next year will be discussed beyond all reason, so
please feel free to chime in wherever.
