[MR] 12th Night Thank You's

[Laura Garcia]

>From a weary but happy event steward:
 
I wish to take a few minutes this morning to send a thank you to the many, many people who made this event possible.  First, I wish to thank Their Royal Majesties for honoring the Barony of Raven's Cove with the priviledge of hosting the event.  We hope that You enjoyed the day and offer our services for anything You may need in the future.
 
Also, I wish to thank Their Royal Highnesses for Their attendance (as well as some wonderful bread!  Thank you, Your Highness). Having You at this event made the day complete.
 
To those gentles who made the trip to the coast, thank you ! An event is only an event if people attend.  I hope that you had a good time. The populace of the Barony of Raven's Cove invites you back to our lovely area of the coast for many future events.
 
To the Shire of Cathanar, thank you for the use of your lands for this event. The site was the only one suitable and special enough for the event and it worked beautifully!  We look forward to doing future events with you all.
 
And now, a thank you to all the people who made this event happen.  I would love to name you all individually, but I would hate to miss anyone and as tired as I still am, I am sure that is exactly what would happen.  
 
For now, thank you to the populace of the Barony of Raven's Cove, who stepped up and made my dream for this event a reality!  From taking reservations, making site tokens, decorating the hall, running troll, running games, running stuff and just plain running, you are all so awesome and hold a special place in my heart!  We are the little Barony that could and did and we are destined for great things!
 
For Herrin Emeludt Hänsler, thank you for running the children's activities.  Also, thank you for your kind words and friendship!  You rock!
 
For those that submitted A&S projects, scrolls, medallions or entries into the Tempore Atlantia competition, thank you.  The beauty that was displayed was beyond belief!  Many of those who were new to the SCA were astonished at the entries!  Many of us who have been around the SCA for awhile were inspired.
 
Thank you to Master Robear and his great kitchen staff!  When I asked you for a Viking feast, I got an interesting reaction.  Then, I got a great menu.  Finally, I got a wonderful feast that made the day special.  12th Night is almost always about friends, fun and food.  You and your staff provided all three!  Thank you.
 
Finally, thank you to all those who provided direction and inspiration to me regarding this event.  I had no doubts that the Barony of Raven's Cove could do something as wonderful as 12th Night, but I also knew that I would need people to guide me in the endeavor.  I have always been surrounded by good friends and great advice.  Thanks to you all!
 
 
I hope that you enjoyed 12th Night.  We were honored to provide the event for you and look forward with excitement to hosting future events for the great Kingdom of Atlantia!
 
Yours in Service to Kingdom and Crown,
Baroness Katharine de la Vache
