Saluti unto the populace of Meridies,

This office, as with the others at Kingdom level, are not the effort of one individual – but of a team of individuals. Without each member of this team things do not get done. Each of the deputies of this office works hard for the wellbeing of Art in this Great Kingdom. It seems that the tenures of the holders of these offices turn over in groups, and it is to that end that I have this month’s announcement.

First, I offer my most humble thanks to Mistress Theodosia Ouranos of Constantinople and Master Rhydderch of Carelon for their excellent service as Reporting Deputies in their respective regions. They have assisted me well in the growing pains of turn-over and I am sure were a constant support for my predecessor.

I have as much gratitude for the good gentles who have stepped up with willingness to serve in their vacant positions. For the Alabama region the new Deputy will be Lady Katherine of the Wode and for the Georgia/Florida region the new Deputy is Lady Allegranza Maria del Rosso. For those of you who are the A&S officer of your local group in these regions – your reports will go to these to fine Ladies. Please see the back of the newsletter for their contact information.

In keeping with the “every office turning over” theme I have noticed there seems to be a gracious plenty of local offices turning over. Welcome to all those new gentles who are taking on this responsibility for their populace. I encourage you all to join the Meridian A&S Officer Yahoo! Group at MeridiesAnS-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

Thank you all, gentle readers, for your patience in the completion of this business essential to the running of this office. I will try my best to make the contents of next month’s letter more entertaining.

Ciao!
Maestra Serena da Riva
