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 there.
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
pavillion 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
