Information on Altavia\u2019s awards and our recommendation form can be found at: <a href=\"https:\/\/altavia.sca-caid.org\/awards\/\">https:\/\/altavia.sca-caid.org\/awards\/<\/a>. While we haven\u2019t been able to meet in person for over a year, there are still plenty of people doing plenty of award-worthy things out there so get your recs in today!<\/p>\n<p>    Another online event that is coming up soon is the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/events\/120695429994750\">Technical Symposium for the Digital SCA<\/a>, an event being spearheaded by Her Excellency of Dreibergen.\u00a0This is now a two-day event on May 1 and 2 and will feature excellent classes on many tech topics such as Zoom, Google Docs, Discord, Facebook, website upkeep, Caid wiki page creation and more taught by Altavians such as Dame Lynnette and Master Laertes, Caidans and friends from throughout the Known World. Class proposals are being accepted through April 16 and a schedule of classes should be available real soon.<\/p>\n<p>    Finally, we wanted to tell everyone about a cool project going on in Altavia and thank those that are making it possible. Thanks to the urging of and coordination by Dame Lynnette, we are going to have Altavia populace badge face mask. These would not be possible without THL Edith acquiring the materials, Mistress Cecilia for providing the pattern and for sewing the masks and Lady Sibylla for getting the embroidery pattern of the populace badge digitized and for embroidering the masks. I\u2019m so proud of this team effort and can\u2019t wait to see the finished product. We\u2019re starting with a small number of masks to see how long they take and to gauge interest but hope to be able to make one for everyone in the barony that wants one eventually.<\/p>\n<p>    As always, thank you to everyone that has stuck by Altavia through thick and thin, especially this year. We have hugs (for all who want them) penciled in for the very near future.<\/p>\n<p>    Until that most excellent day, we remain, as ever\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\">Yours in Service,<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong>Baron Nikolaos Phaistos<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px\"><strong> Baroness Briana MacCabe<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Greetings, Altavia!
