Congratulations Announcements From the Atlantia! Society Chronicler

Greetings Gentle Readers,

The time has come for the Master William Blackfox Awards of A.S. 54! Our Kingdom Chroniclers have again worked dili- gently to send in the best submissions the known world has to offer. For me, every year is a labor of love- and this time is no different. I was pleased to see familiar names and groups in the nominations this year – thank you for continuing to craft amaz- ing content for local newsletters – and was elated to see new names and groups recognized for doing wonderful work! It is a great honor to be chosen to represent your kingdom and I congratulate each of the nominees.

To the many contributors of photography that reflects who we are, illustrations that shows our heart, poetry that lifts our souls, articles that educate our minds, how-to’s that inspire us, and cartoons that lift our spirit-you have my gratitude.

Every Kingdom has many talented and hard-working chroniclers, recording the culture and history of their groups and en- riching the Society both now and for the future. Their pride in group, Kingdom, and the SCA, shines throughout these publica- tions- whether from the smallest group or the biggest Kingdom. I am repeatedly humbled and count myself fortunate to be able to witness these outstanding contributions to our Society as a whole.

Huzzah, and well done!

And now, with no further ado-it is my pleasure to present to you these, the A.S. 54’s Master William Blackfox Awards.

My Congratulations,

Mistress Arianna Stefana Falconi, OP Society Chronicler
