To bring anyone who hasn't heard Up-to-Date....
1. Parade Trophies and prizes were awarded to all five participants.. How could anyone have chosen among those! We are already thinking about a winter holiday parade .. wouldn't it be fun to have twice that many entries? And yes, we will work out the start and stop bugs!
2. Triathalon Trophies and prizes went to Sudane Erato and Naftali Torok.
3.Locus Amoenus emerged winner of the Second Annual Oktoberfest Intra Sim Soccer Tournament. As soon as we can schedule the game, we will take on the National Football Team of Caledon, wearing the LA colors. Anyone from any of our sims will be begged to play 
.
and in case you didn't read your Ball invitations...

Finally, thanks to our treasurer, Sudane Erato, for keeping us on track with expenses, (as well as setting a new standard of athletic attire),to the New Guild for advice and direction, to the Representative Assembly for your support, and last but never least, to our Chancellor, Jamie Palisades, for creating our Burning Life Exhibit, "OktoBurnfest," marshalling the Parade, keeping us on task, (and within budget) as well as too many incidences of leadership and support to list.
It is a joy to work with all of you.
