<DIV>Winter Greetings Ponte Alto,</DIV>
<DIV> We would like to thank those who traveled to Kingdom 12th Night this weekend. That was the first time we had ever seen more snow in North Carolina than in our home Barony. We would like to thank Lady Cassandra and Lord Odde for participating in the Kingdom Royal Bard Competition. Their performances were proof that Ponte Alto has many talents.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV> We would also like to wish everyone a very happy new year!</DIV>
<DIV>Thomas and Denise</DIV></BODY></HTML>
