[Artemisia] Toys for Tots Report

Other awards that Lord Finlay was too shell-shocked to notice: :-)
Lord Padruig received his Award of Arms
Lord Stephan the Other received a Golden Gryphon's Talon
Lady KyneWynn the Kind received her Golden Scarf (long overdue, IMHO)
His Lordship Broka Vay received a Golden Sun in Splendor

Also, not only did Allegretza win the Arts and Sciences competition,
but she is also the Shire Arts and Sciences Champion. :-) Congrats,
Allegretza!

Other memories from the evening--I loved listening to CJ the
Amnesiac's violin playing and Katherine's tin whistle solo and also
the awesome "Song for Arrows' Flight" composed and sung by m'lady
Mariel (sp?). Oh! And the look on Allegretza's face when I called
her name as the A&S Champion....PRICELESS. The food was superb and I
think Lady Ash and Jacque simply outdid themselves. A better feast
couldn't have been hoped for. Lady Bronwyn did a good job of
child-wrangling, and the Viking Relays were definitely a favorite.
Thank you all for a very fun event! Lord Finlay and Lady Asa--you did
us proud.

--Lady Ellisif

Also of note: Many of the (peckish but no longer starving) children of 
Arrows' Flight received charms for having completed various sections in the 
Page School. One fine young lad advanced from Cupbearer to Page. I'm sure 
the Lady Bronwyn will be more able than I to list the names and honors; give 
her a couple of days to recover.

The children of SAF also gifted The Crown with a lovely banner of quilt 
blocks decorated by the youth and constructed by Bronwyn. Her Majesty 
high-fived all of the presentors and was then nearly smothered in pint-sized 
hugs.

Young Lord Aaron the Bear received the Honorable Vicar Morgan his very first 
Page School charm, the bee for Service. The award was a great surprise to 
Aaron, but no surprise to the rest of us, given that he's the grandson of 
the Honorable Lady Bethoc and Lord Broka. Such a quiet, thoughtful young man 
could not help but be of service unless he was tied to a tree and covered in 
ants. :)

Lord John the Rat served as a somewhat dazed herald for His Honor Morgan. 
Her Miniature Highness Sara Jezebel joined the youth of Arrows' Flight in 
serving feast with grace and no spillage.

My personal compliments go to the daughters of Lady Kyne Wynn. Their duet 
and trio harmonies during feast made me feel as if I were sitting in a 
cathedral listening to fine madrigals. I do hope they bring their lovely 
voices to Solstice.
