Greetings again from the Webministry of the Kingdom of the East!
We made a big push to try and get half of the branches within the Kingdom migrated over to Google for Nonprofits before the end of the year.

It was a good day of much revelry, and in the afternoon Tsar Ivan and Tsaritsa Matilde held court.
Their Excellencies Endewearde, Baroness Sylvia du Vey and Baron Ané du Vey, exchanged gifts with Their Majesties, and swore fealty.
Their Majesties proceeded to present the following awards to the following gentles:
