To All of you who participated in the ritual we do thank you, for your dedication and time through all of the rehearsals, preparation and smiles. A special thank you to some of you, to Arlene for the beautiful wreath atop of our Maypole, to Stacey & Catherine for our Maypole, to Kurt for his long drive in every time to practice and bring those lovely drums to assist us. To everyone in our community who helped bring this together by being there and supporting us on this our Beltane Sabbat Celebration, thank you. To Jaime & Brenda for your kind help financially in assisting us with saving our class space to keep us alive.
To the rest of you who gave all was appreciated and went towards paying for the class space, we do so thank you all for your kindness and support.
The Beltane Sabbat monies will again be placed as additional monies towards saving our space. To Amy a special thank you for building the stand for the Maypole, as this is a most needed symbol for our celebration.

Starr and everyone

It was my pleasure to make the wreath. I had a grand old time during this ritual. It was a blast. Thank you for setting it up and I look forward to working with everyone again.

Arlene

Yes! I, too, had a blast! Literally -- it was that hot, I even got a touch of sunburn! Although, having said that, I much preferred it to the rain that was originally predicted for Sunday. Such is Springtime weather. *sigh*

Okay, now here's *my* list, for what it's worth: Thanks to Starr for getting this off the ground, pulling it together and finding us this beautiful space; I know it wasn't easy. My personal thanks to Amethyst Rose and Catherine for pitching in at the 11th hour and getting the main Maypole downtown, on their own nickels. Sorry for the fuss! :-( --and to Luna, for *literally* running into me and helping me to get the other pole and the stands to the garden. Hat'cha! :-D

Particular thanks also go to Alora for switching scarves with me...Jeanette for the lovely skirt...Paul for bringing his instruments and massive talent and jamming with us...Kurt for lending support in every way possible -- including shuttling two of us to Queens when the trains weren't running...Starr again for having a convenient place to keep the money in *wink* -- and for the loan of the drum -- and for her forbearance and understanding in the face of chaos *kisses, hugs & good vibes*...Sadhak and Dion for their (fruitful?) attempts at cross-pollination *LOL* No, really, you were great!...everyone who danced, everyone who sang, everyone who brought food and drink and money and their wonderful, joyous, Pagan selves...the families who brought their children out to play with us...and everyone else I don't have room to mention here -- you know who you are (I hope) -- Huzzah!

Wow, what a list, huh? (And if ya think this is long, just wait until the Ball! *lol*)

Blessed Beltane, everyone,

My daughter, my friend and myself had a very nice day! The Goddess blessed us with sunshine!
