Award recommendations and auction items . . .

Greetings, all, from Master Liam St. Liam, Major Domo to Their
Majesties East.

Columbus lived in period, so Columbus Day has been an appropriate time
to work on a variety of reign-related issues.

1. The deadline for recommendations for Chivalry, the Laurel, the
Pelican, the Order of the Tygers's  Combatant, the Maunche, the Silver
Crescent, the Sagittarius and the Order of the Golden Rapier is this
Friday, Oct. 17. There is a form on the EK site. Use that if possible.
If not, e-mail to TRM@eastkingdom.org and liamstliam@gmail.com. Please
include full SCA name, local group, anticipated events and a solid,
but not too-long summary of their work. (Please contact Liam with any
questions.)

This is expected to be the final poll of their reign.

2. Their Royal Majesties will continue to accept recommendations for
all other awards, but honestly, the sooner they get them, the better
the chance of the award being given.

3. I will be accepting donations of items for the Royal Travel Fund
auction at Crown. I will also accept monetary donations. There will be
a big auction sometime after the first of the year, and a smaller one
at Bjorn's Ceilidh, because the Barony of Concordia is so wicked cool.

Forward as you think appropriate.
