Sorry I'm such a slacker. I don't have much but here it is...

===========================================
Unto the populace of Ponte Alto, greetings!

I hope you are all enjoying the fine weather. I'm certain we'll have 
winter back before long, but I'm taking advantage of the sunshine 
while I can!

First, thanks to Baron Corun for his service as Baronial Herald. 
Thanks also to Baron Ranulf for volunteering to step up as his 
replacement. 

The Kingdom Seneschal has a new deputy, called the Waiver 
deputy. Lady Ilse von Brenner has been chosen for this new 
position. What it entails is keeping track of all the non-member and 
minor waivers that are signed at events and fight practices. As far 
as I know, there are no policies for this office in place just yet, but 
shortly all waivers will be sent to Lady Ilse. Marshals and autocrats 
will need to turn in their waivers to me, I will most likely fill out a 
form and send them to Ilse. It's pretty simple, but I just wanted to 
keep you all apprised of this new position.

I have filled out and sent my 4th quarter 2001 seneschal's report 
and sent it to Baroness Caitlyn, our regional deputy seneschal. I 
would like to remind all the barony's officers that if you are sending 
reports to your kingdom superior (some offices only require event 
reports or none at all), you should be sending me a copy of that 
report as well. 

Last, I would like to mention something that is very important to the 
well being of the whole group. If you have a complaint or issue with 
something that is (or isn't) happening in the barony, please come 
discuss it with me. I won't bite (not even a nibble) and I really don't 
like hearing about problems second- and even third-hand. Simple 
communication is the first step to resolving problems, and often is 
all that's needed to clear up misunderstandings that have gotten 
out of hand.

Thanks! See you all at Investiture.
Yours in Service,
