[MR] Bids for Crown Tourney and 12th Night

[Denise McMahon]

Wonderful Atlantia!

I know it's hard to think about the months of November and January  
while we seem to just be entering the lush heat of summer, however,  
there are two events that dwell upon Our minds and We would like you  
to be mindful of them as well and thereby share the burden of  
planning with Us.

We are looking for bids for both Our Crown Tourney and for the  
Kingdom's 12th Night celebration. Crown Tourney is slated for  
November 3, 2007 and I believe 12th Night occurs sometime around  
January 5, 2008. Duchess Simone will know more completely then I at  
this point when the exact dates are, however, while both events bring  
much joy to the kingdom, they also necessitate much planning on the  
part of Our Honored Hosts.

Crown Tourney or 12th Night could be scheduled for your very own  
local area if you send in a bid. Where you have the event  will  
determine how long a car drive or what kind of weather you can expect  
to deal with! Why not have one of these celebrations in your backyard  
for a change? Northern or Southern Atlantia have an equal chance of  
being chosen. However, His Highness and I cannot choose a site if the  
Bid Coffer is empty.

If you have any questions as to what is entailed in sending in a bid  
for a Kingdom Level event please see the website.

It may look complicated but truly it's not and there are people who  
are more then willing to help out interested individuals with  
deciphering the forms and event requirements.

My heart would be filled with delight to be able to know on the day  
of Our Coronation where Our Heirs will be determined and Our Kingdoms  
Winter Celebration will be held.  Please contact Duchess Simone with  
any questions at the email address on the website.

May your preparations for Pennsic be easy and your pilgrimage to  
Pennsic be free of any trouble.

Swiftly go and joyfully return!

Warm Regards!

provide for you as He provides for the birds. The birds set out  
hungry in the morning, yet return satisfied at dusk.
