[Ponte Alto] Thank yous and candle info

[Lady Millicent Chandler]

Good morning Ponte Alto,

Thank you so very much for making my first time as an event steward
such an easy and enjoyable experience. Thank you for supporting the
event by either working or simply attending.

Many thanks to Lady Alesia and her wonderful kitchen staff. They
provided a delicious and filling meal which received rave reviews.
Thank you, Lady Delfina and Baroness Celia, for working gate.
Thank you, Lady Courtney, for running the silent auction.
Thank you, Baron Marcellus, for running the chess tournament.
Thank you, Lady Talitha, for running the childrens' corner.
Thank you, Lady Ynez, for organizing the dancing portion of the event.

Thank you to the set-up and clean-up crews which included many of the
above-noted people plus Baroness Marie-Terese, Maitresse Belphoebe,
Lady Emma, Lord Henry, Lord William, Lady Sian, Lady Rhiannon, Sorcha,
Brennain, Lady Peronelle, Maitresse Allasondrea, Lady Cassandra, and
many others I am most unfortunately missing. And most special thanks
to my husband Lord Edward for being my touchstone and reality check at
all points before, during, and after the event in addition to his
usual sherpa and step-n-fetchit role.

Again, if I have forgotten anyone, I apologize profusely for the oversight.

Also, several people asked me where I found the battery-operated
candles illuminating high table and my own table. They came from
CoolStuffCheap.com
(http://search.store.yahoo.net/cgi-bin/nsearch?catalog=coolstuff&vwcatalog=coolstuff&query=battery%20candle).
Unfortunately, those candles are no longer as cheap as they used to
be. The candles are a little bit cheaper on BatteryOperatedCandles.net
(http://www.batteryoperatedcandles.net/CA25000-CH-p-round-pillar.html),
but I cannot vouch for that site. This time of year is the perfect
time to locate these types of candles if you're so inclined.

Cheers,
Millicent
