[MR] Thankyous for Return of the Merchants of Venice

[Karen Summerfelt-Hume]

Greetings one and all,

    I'd like to take this opportunity to thank the many folks who contributed to the event and made it happen.  A good staff makes an event so much easier on the Autocrat and so much pleasanter for the attendees.  Domina Barbara and I were fortunate in having such a staff for this event.  We couldn't have done it alone .  I'm also pleased and proud that we had several staff members who are either new to the SCA or new to the Barony and they stepped in and did a wonderful job for us. So, without further adieu, I give you the Staff of what we called ROTMOV.  A Happy and humble thank you for all you did!
