Greetings and Happy New Year Calafia!

 For many this is a time to recall all of the experiences and moments of the last year; to attempt to understand who we were then, how we have
changed into who we are now, and most importantly identify who we
want to be in the next year. The journey can and will be very dif erent for each of us, but we think it safe to say that the Calafian spirit will keep us together in support and friendship. And perhaps instead of making resolutions, we can strive (with a little swagger maybe) on paths filled with exciting new challenges and opportunities toward our personal (and community) goals.

We recently enjoyed Winter Arts. We are always impressed with the skill and talent displayed by the artisans and bards. And also encourage you to start that project now (because sometimes it actually takes an entire year and we really want to see it at the next Winter Arts).

The new year starts with Coronation on January 6th where Their Highnesses, Tyggr and Mercedes, will step up. We hope to see you  here. Following Coronation, we will be attending Winter Weekend from January 11 – 15. This was an amazing experience last year and we believe that we will love it just as much this time around. The Unbelted Tournament will be on January 27th. We plan to have the baronial pavilion up for all Calafians and guests. Highly recommend that you attend and represent Calafia in support of our unbelted fighters.

Once again, we want to wish you a very happy new year and look forward to every moment we will get to spend together.

Yours in service,

Lord Þorsteinn Arngiersson and TH Lady Asa Askmaðr
Baron and Baroness of Calafia
