<BR>Greetings to the Wonderful People of Ponte Alto,
<BR> We would like to thank THL Feline' for her service to the barony as baronial archery champion for a number of years. It is her undying service to the archery community that makes her a leader of such a noble community. We would also welcome our newest baronial archery champion, Morfith. Morfith was 10th of out 40, the highest placing Ponte Alto archer at Flights of Fancy. He has been attending Stierbach weekly archery practices for the last year and has just moved within our glorious baronial borders. Please help us welcoming him into our Barony and into his newest position as baronial archery champion.
<BR>
<BR> Sunday's Picnic Authorization in the Park was another huge success for the Barony. There were approximately 90 people in attendance. There were 15 authorizations at the event. The food was plentiful as were the merriment and camaraderie were shared by all this day. We also thank those members of Ponte Alto's musical Harp and Drum Corps that graced us with lovely music for the splendid afternoon. And thanks to Baroness Agnes for her service at the picnic. As always she is there before and after the event cleaning up.... thank you :-)
<BR>
<BR> We would also like to congratulate Lady Belphoebe and Delphina the Mad for authorizing in combat archery at Highland Foorde over the weekend. We now have 4 combat archers fighting for the Barony this year at Pennsic, including Lord Marcellus and Lady Catriona.
<BR>
<BR> We are still in search of weavers to assist our cause. Seems our army is ever growing is size. It is our wish to bestow woven campaign ribbons for those heavy fighters who fight under the baronial colors and wear the baronial tabards and to those rapier fighters who wear the baronial favor and fight under the baronial colors at a war or an event in which the fighters fight as a unit. We are in search of weavers to help us with these woven campaign ribbons. This plea also goes out to those individuals with sewing skills, we could use your help and assistance in making more baronial tabards. Please contact Baroness Denise with any questions DCADENISE@aol.com

<BR> The Barony of Ponte Alto has been awarded N18 for their block assignment. Our neighbors at Pennsic will be the Barony of Stierbach. We will besharing part of our encampments this year ie: fire pit and walkway are to the two encampments. Some one even mentioned... maybe we should put a running wall over the fire pit and call it Route 28 :-) Or having a "toll road" on the walk way between the two encampments :-) We are very excited about our Pennsic preparations.
<BR>
<BR>Yours in Service to this Wondrous Barony and Kingdom,
<BR>Thomas and Denise
