Comments and Impressions:

• TFT was a great success and it's because this is the most wonderful Kingdom in the known world. Two little words, Thank you, do not begin to express my gratitude for all those who helped make the event so successful. There will be so many children who will get to open presents this year because of you!!! - Gabrielle von Friedrichstahl
• Words fail me to adequately express yesterday. I am so very humbled to be a member of the Order of the Pelican and can't thank enough everyone who worked so hard to make the day special. Thank you to Bronwen de Westhold for all of the food, it was so good! Juliana della Rena and Helena Soranzo for the countless hours of clothing construction, Denise LeCourt for the beautiful shoes, Jurgen Weiter von Landstuhl for the vigil tokens, Rufus Tenstone for the amazing pottery, Jaida de Leon and Elynor of Glastonbury for the beautiful scroll and text, Isengrim Slegga for the stunning Medallion. Galen MacColmain the vigil book was just beautiful! The hood made by Issabell St. Charles and the Coat by Rebecca Beaumont are almost to beautiful to wear.

> Catalina de Arazuri wrote a beautiful ceremony and I was so stunned to see all of those beautiful banners unfurled, a memory I will cherish! Issabell St. Charles and Rebecca Beaumont I am very blessed to have you as friends and thank you from the bottom of my heart for being my sponsors on this journey. To everyone who spoke, I am deeply touched and carry your words with me. I truly am very lucky to be surrounded by the wonderful people that make up the fabric of our kingdom. - Ishmala
