[MR] Thanks and a Word on Gift Baskets...

[Sharon Henderson]

Good afternoon, gentle cousins!

I would like to thank their outgoing Majesties, Logan and Rowan, for
allowing me to serve them as gift basket coordinator during their reign, and
I would also like to thank all those who made donations to the gift basket
program.  This is not an easy job, but it is immensely rewarding--being as
you usually get a chance to observe first-hand the generosity and high
levels of craftsmanship to be found in the Kingdom of Atlantia.

I would like to urge everyone to whole-heartedly continue in your support
for whoever takes on this role on behalf of their Incoming Majesties,
Sinclair and Kari.  Give bountifully and often; help showcase the wonder
that is Atlantia!  Besides hand-crafted items and such, there is always a
need for such things as various populace badges and awards badges; if you
are of a mind to embroider some of these, charts can be found online at:
http://aeg.atlantia.sca.org/projects/poppies.htm  (note that this link is
for populace badges for all of the Kingdoms, as their Majesties often give
gifts to other Royals) while charts for the Atlantian awards can be found
here:  http://aeg.atlantia.sca.org/projects/awards.htm

Again, thank you to all the munificent folk of Atlantia, and to their
Majesties; I am grateful to have been given the opportunity to serve.  Vivat
Atlantia!!!

in humble service,
Baroness Meli
