<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;"><DIV>Last Saturday we had youth fighters and other kids assist as list runners at Crown Tourney on an organized basis for the first time. I am pleased to say that they all did a great job. They followed instructions and were an integral part of the team running the tournament. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to the following list runners for giving excellent service to their Crown and Kingdom:</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Tyler</DIV>
<DIV>Eden</DIV>
<DIV>Paige</DIV>
<DIV>Leah</DIV>
<DIV>Kenneth</DIV>
<DIV>Robert</DIV>
<DIV>Joie</DIV>
<DIV><BR>Thank you also to the List Officers, Heralds and Marshalls for helping our youth to participate in Crown Tournament; and to Mistress Jenna for providing them with the spiffy baldrics that they wore proudly.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I believe that only by fully incorporating our youth into our activities will we continue to grow and prosper as an organization. This event provided a magnificent opportunity to do that.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Finally, thanks to His Majesty for making a point of greeting and shaking the hand of each list runner before the start of the tourney. It's the little things that mean so much.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In service,</DIV>
