[MR] Lochmere Baronial Birthday Thanks

[Sharon Horstman]

>From Dominick and Margery, we second all the praise for those who worked so
hard to make this event happen.  Keilyn performed magic in the kitchen.
House Wulfshaven alone took hours off of our Sunday cleanup with the work
they did in the kitchen after the feast, and we saw many of the same faces
working from Friday through Sunday morning.  But most important is a
heartfelt "Thank You" to Duchess Simone.  She worked on this event for many
months.  From the comments made to His Excellency and to me, everyone had a
wonderful time and left repleat, both from fighting and food. Many vivats to
you.
