Hospitaler Resigns; Deputy Takes Office Contributed by Lady Angelica Veronica de Granada, Barony Hospitaler I first want to say how these last few months have been so busy for me and I miss seeing everyone. I know I have not been around much but things do happen. It is sad for me to say that I will miss everyone even more. This is going to be my letter of resignation. I will be stepping down as Bordermarch Hospitalers Contribute to Bordermarch Growth Contributed by HE Countess Mistress Tessa of the Gardens, Coastal & Southern Regional Hospitaler of Ansteorra hank you for your term of service, Tdearest Lady Angelica. You will be missed and remembered, and you are wished the very best hopes for yourself and your precious son and daughter. Lady Raven has already begun doing a fine job and has the assistance of at least one if not more helpers since January. At recent fighter practices and even in the guilds, I have noticed how a few of the newer interested folk have jumped right into speak with and give explanations to bystanders who Lady Raven MacLeod are interested enough to ask, as if the newbies themselves were hospitalers. That is such a positive, welcoming approach, and is wholesome for the entire barony. One of the new transplants supplied a beautiful Bordermarch-device-decorated-cake for the May Day; two of the newest also set up their shade pavilion in the park and took a lead in getting plenty of photos of the May Day demo. At fighter practice, the guilds, we have seen the recent participants bring along yet other interested folk! The populace is in a growth spurt indeed. Some are working on their persona devices, others on their armor or garb, others interested in the food Page 12 Hospitaler this month. I will be moving out of the Barony very soon. I will be graduating from school in a couple of weeks and taking a job near Houston. I hate to be leaving, but this is a better thing for me and the kids. I have talked with TE about it and explained that I have to do this now. I again will miss everyone. Thanks for the time that I have had. I will be sending a letter to my Deputy Lady Raven in hopes that she will take over, so as to make this go over smoothly. Vivat! We will miss you greatly but celebrate your strength and determination and taking care of yourself and your children. As your future grows may you grow ever stronger and wiser. Please keep in touch. You will always be apart of the Bordermarch family. Grace, Elisabeth and Santiago Barony Bordermarch preps, and the road trips to other group events have multiplied. Lots of email contacts have been traded and are getting connected to the baronial mailing list. Thank you for your endeavors. Your resignation letter was received at Coastal Southern Regional Hospitaler s office and has been filed along with praises for Lady Raven s application. Best regards, Godspeed!
