[Artemisia] A Few Reminders......

[Kingdom of Artemisia Sage Advice Newsletter]

Good Afternoon and a Beautiful Spring Day to Everyone!!!

I would just like to take a few moments to remind everyone of a few things.

1.  I am always looking to spice up the Sage Advice and one way I can
do that is for the Event Stewards to send me a piece of clipart or
photo to go along with their Event Announcements.

2.  I have been approached on more than one occasion about printing
"post event announcements"  for those who are unable to attend your
event.  This might be a great way to let people know about the
wonderful things they missed so they can make an extra attempt to be
there in the future.  SO...I'm challenging all Event Stewards to
submit to me a short synopsis of how your event went.

3.  Event Registration Forms:  Everyone has been doing much better at
getting the "signed" Event Registration forms sent in.  If you can't
remember if you have sent yours in, just look in the Sage Advice next
to your announcement.  If you see a star (*) then I have received your
form.  If you do not see a (*), get it in ASAP.  Your event will be
considered "unofficial" if it has not been received.

3.  This is an especially important reminder to Seneschals &
Chroniclers.  If there are ANY changes AT ALL to your Chronicler
Office, I NEED TO KNOW.  I need copies of all Warrants...Resignation
Letters....anything that pertains to the Chronicler Office.

4.  The William Blackfox Awards are due very soon.  If anyone would
like to nominate your chronicler for the award, please send me an
email with the name of the newsletter and the piece that is to be
recognized.  See below for the requirements.
