Thank you to all who made it possible!

Thank Yous from the Event Staff and Others

From the Decorations Staff

Now that the festivities of Yule is past, I would like to thank those who helped with donations of time and items for decorations.

First and foremost, thank you to Lady Gabrielle for a fantastic event, it was truly a wonder. Second the crew of the Veridion Star former captain Lord Ulrich for letting me ravage their back yard for all the greens in the decorations. I must have been out there practically every week getting more, but they have nicely pruned trees now!. Also Lady Inga and Diametes for greens and the absolutely adorable little tree for the ornament display. Lady Ela also donated greens to the cause as well as advice having been decorating coordinator before gave me a direction to run in. HL Kassandra was gracious to lend us her tapestries for the occasion, and they looked splendid and inviting not only in the hall, but at the doors where we entered. Kassandra and Alarcus also gave all the holly for the occasion as well. The beautiful rod iron candlesticks on the head table were lent by Rycheza (forgive me I don't know your title.) Lady Jess of the Roving Irishman lent the greens that decorated the back stage, Gretta and sweet little Quincy helped me with orange slices, Ithsmey donated glass vases that ended up not being used when the burn policy changed, but was gracious enough to rummage for them. Now the final two are not the least nor or they top, but it could not have been done with out them. First Kamar, and Shalimariah made for me the pillars for the head table candles. They took the time to cut a tree and screw platters to them on my whim. They were beautiful, thank you so much! And last but not least, Lady Anya and Diana de Ceannt who made all the candles for the centerpieces.

Lady Anya, Steven, Myrick, and one sweet little boy with the phoenix on his tunic back helped with either set up or take down, or both. THANK YOU!!!!! All those who helped and I did not see you THANK YOU!!!!

Having this been my first Yule ever, thank you all for bringing my vision to life. I know the efforts you put in were enjoyed by all.

Many humble thanks,
Alessandra Donato

From Clan Erskine

We of Clan Erskine wish to add our thanks for a wonderful evening. The Pageantry was fun and instructive and those of us who have not seen or done it before have been inspired.

I wish we had made it to site earlier in the day - we missed so much. Hopefully next year there will be classes on dancing and more singing and we will be able to attend.

The food and service was wonderful. But the best was getting together with new and old friends.

Again thanks to all for a truly memorable evening,
Siobhan
