Not all letters of intent may be considered when they are originally scheduled on this cover letter. The date of mailing of the LoI, date of receipt of the Laurel packet, or other factors may delay consideration of certain letters of intent. Additionally, some letters of intent received may not have been scheduled because the administrative requirements (receipt of the forms packet, receipt of the necessary fees, etc.) have not yet been met.
REMINDER: Until the packet containing the paperwork is received, the letter may not be scheduled.
Congratulations are due to Maredudd ap Cynan, Triskele Principal Herald, who has been inducted into the Order of the Pelican. I am also pleased to announce that my finance deputy (and husband), Alaric MacConall, received his Pelican in May. Part of the reason he received the award was for the tremendous amount of work he has done in support of my office beyond the usual spousal support, particularly in handling the finances and in scanning old files for the archive so that, hopefully, my successor will have fewer files to manage than I.
