[Cynnabar] New Sign for the Barony

[Elizabeth Gray Calhoun]

Your Excellency;

And to their Excellencies our current Baron and Baroness;

And members of the Populace of the Barony;

Last night I offered, without consideration of reimbursement, an easy 
solution to this problem:

I said I would purchase this banner "fee simple" and donate it to the 
Barony.

My offer stands.

Yours most sincerely In Service to the Barony, the Crown, and the Dream,

Godaeth se Wisfaest
(formerly Ealasaid nic Colquhoun)

--Liz Calhoun
