Baron Byron send greetings.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>It is my pleasure to announce the candidates for
the position of Baron and Baroness. They are listed below in precedence
order. The populace has indeed a difficult decision ahead, and I encourage
everyone to consider their choices carefully.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>By the end of February, we intend to have
statements from the candidates available on the website and included in the next
Althing. We will also include pictures of the candidates, in case you know
them only by their nicknames. Another email will follow when the pictures
and statements are available.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>The ballots will be mailed soon; if you do not
receive one by the end of February, please contact me to let me know.
Remember that to vote, you must be a member of the SCA, living in the BMDL
itself, and at least 17 years old at the time of the election (the deadline for
exceptions has now passed).</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am happy to answer any questions from the
populace about the election.</FONT></DIV>
