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.

On May 21, 2016, at Schola held in Bronzehelm, Lady Renée de la Pommeraie was awarded the Golden Pillar of Artemisia for her hard work on the Great Archive Project.

Also at Schola, Mistress Shauna of Carrick Point was given a Gryphon's Eye for her years of teaching heraldry.

It is our sad duty to report the passing of Baron Malcolm fitz William of Æthelmearc. He served the College of Æthelmearc for many years, first as Sycamore Herald, then as Keystone Herald up until his death, and will be missed.
