Yes, I whipped out that phone and texted her the instant I found out, and we've been in communication to handle it. I totally appreciate everyone looking out for that, though -- it's really important we keep our Stewards in the know, and not blindside them!</p><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Our Yule event page, for further information: <a href="http://www.antir.sca.org/Upcoming/?Event_ID=3929" class="">http://www.antir.sca.org/Upcoming/?Event_ID=3929</a></div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Thank you,</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">Cunegonda van den Bossche</div><div class="">Seneschal of Hartwood</div></div></body></html>
