[Artemisia] Re: Pelicans' Prize Tourneys

[elaine]

Greetings!
	I just want to give credit where credit is due, since Mst. Maire 
mentioned my name in connection with the few Pelicans' Prize Tourneys 
that have been held.  The idea was originally Mistress Els 
Merryweather's -- and a very good idea it was, too.  I've participated 
in 2 of these "tourneys", and believe there may have been an additional 
one or two.  The idea is for the Pelicans, similar to the Laurels 
looking at work displayed during a Laurels' Prize Tourney, to notice 
what individuals are doing -- only, in the case of service, it's not on 
display -- or if it is, it shouldn't be --, so it's more tricky to 
notice.  Then, if a Pelican spots someone going out of their way to 
serve, they present that individual with a small token, to let them know 
that their effort has not gone unnoticed.  To my knowledge, only Arn 
Hold has officially held these Pelicans' Tourneys so far, but it seems 
to me that any group could designate any event so -- but the Pelicans 
need to be notified ahead of time so that they may come prepared with 
tokens.
