For the July 2004 meetings, printed December 23 2004

To all the College of Arms and all others who may read this missive, from François Laurel King of Arms, Evan Wreath, and Margaret Pelican, greetings.

From Laurel: Busy Busy Elves

This year has been very eventful with both ups and downs. In spite of all the work that was completed there are many things yet to be done.

Our goal is to have the August thru December LoARs published in January 2005. Such a goal is a stretch and will take a lot of work to reach but it can be done. Those letters will be processed quickly without the extra review and proof reading that has become the norm. We will endeavor to keep the quality high but the priority at this time is to get the decisions published.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Roster Changes

Please add as Trefoil Herald (Outlands), Timothy O'Brien ... to the roster and mailing list. Trefoil prefers both LoIs and LoCs by e-mail due to travelling for business.

[ LoAR] - - - -

Month day: the date on the Letter of Intent, Letter of Pend and Discussion, or Letter of Intent to Protect.

(Month day): for administrative reasons, this LoI has not yet been scheduled.

[P Month day]: postmarked on that bracketed date, so the LoI is redated or postponed.

"-": no LoI is scheduled for that meeting from that kingdom.

?: tentative.

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, et cetera) have not yet been met.

REMINDER: Until all administrative requirements are met, the letter may not be scheduled.

Pray know that I remain

In service
