[MR] Spring Coronation Thanks!

[Rhiannon Morgaine]

To Their Majesties, Amos and Ysabella, Their Excellencies Marinus, and
the to the Populace of the Kingdom of Atlantia does Lady Rhiannon Morgaine
send greetings!!

This (still) tired and very pleased Event Steward would like to thank
everyone who attended Spring Coronation for their support and kind words.
As I said in Court, many hands make light work, and I would like to take a
moment to give credit where credit is due.

I would like to specifically thank Their Majesties for allowing me and The
Barony of Marinus to have the honor of hosting Your Coronation.

I would like to thank Baroness Sarah Beth of Bellwood (Theresa Bell) for
serving as my Deputy Event Steward, Hall Steward, and Royal Reception
Coordinator Extraordinaire, Dame Hróðný Rognvaldsdóttir (Terri Morgan) for
her wondrous skill as Reservationist and Tollner, Master Arnbiørn Bassi
Dansson (Arnold Pattee) for his work as Field Steward, and Lady Mariana
Francisco did exquisite work in turning His Majesty's design into site
tokens.

An amazing feast (as always) was prepared by Lady Magdalena Sanguigni
(Niely Morgan) and Chez Robear and received standing accolades from those
lucky enough to have partaken of it.

Many others assisted in the Martial Activities - namely, Lord Eoin mac
Giric as MiC, as well as the Discipline Marshalls - Baron Aradd (Rich
Stryker), Lord Jean-Maurice le Marinier, and Lord Marco da Verona, our
lovely MoL, Lady Isabella Delfino as well as Lady Herriðr Freyugyðja
Ögvaldsdóttir for her assistance with the Ransom Tourney and Fundraising.
Master Donal macRuiseart served as Herald in Charge.

Merchant Coordination was through , and Lady Oda Wlslagre dicta Widoeghe
and Mistress Margrét Eyverska ran the very well-attended Arts & Sciences
area.

Master Andreas de Caunton and Lady Aine O Grienan came from afar to serve
as our Chiurgeon in Charge and Youth Coordinator, and Mistress Blitha of
Wolfhou and Mistress Alisoun MacCoul of Elphane assisted with Newcomer's
Tours and Heraldic Consult. Her Grace Kalisa Aleksandrovna sponsored Bubble
Time with Disney Princesses and great fun was had by all.

What many people do not see when attending an event is the
behind-the-scenes support staff - Lord Þorgautr inn vikverski was the
driving force behind getting all the equipment to the site, and Sir Otto
helped ensure the list fence and field was set up and broken down while
Lord Griffyth ap Anarawd and his wife Olga helped both inside the hall and
out on the field, Marc Ashman handled parking and his son, Robert did
numerous gopher duties. Lady Christine of Marinus and Lisa Curran did
errands for and herding of the Event Steward, and  Sir William of Bellwood
and Alexandra (Caroline Mabry) & Mom helping to decorate the hall and field
the Hall Steward as needed. Don Harrison and Lord Eirikr ulfr Thorrison
were wherever needed - often involving the moving of heavy things. Lady
Vittoria Cavalieri spent much of her time on-site cleaning things, helping
to prep for Staff arrival, and ensuring that supplies were where they were
needed.

I'm sure I've missed at least a few people, and I apologize in advance for
that. With such a wonderful team, it is difficult to know whom is doing
what when the general consensus within the staff is that if something needs
to be done, it simply gets done with no bellyaching... which makes being an
Event Steward something not as difficult as sometimes expected.
