Unto the people of the East from Alayne, EK Porter,warm greetings!
As my term serving our glorious Kingdom in the capacity of Porter draws to a close, I would like to thank everyone for the opportunity I have had to be able to make the East a wonderful example of inclusiveness and accessibility.
Northern Region War Camp in Glenn Linn will mark the terminus of my service in this particular aspect, as the Porters serve under the auspices of the Seneschalate, with a limit of two consecutive terms.
At this time I would like to thank all those good gentles who have acted as my Deputies, the fine Web Ministers who have helped us create and maintain a site of resources:

Thank you also to all the fine Event Stewards who allowed me space for Accessibility Hours, and thank you to the people who attended these workshops.
I encourage anyone seeking a positive and proactive way of serving the East to consider putting in for this Office or working for the Office of the Porter in other ways. During my tenure I have met amazing individuals, both in and out of the Kingdom. Positive changes have occurred and will no doubt continue to occur because of the East Kingdom’s continuing commitment to courtesy and accessibility.
Again, I thank you for this time in office and look forward to serving the East in other ways in the future.
Your humble servant,
Alayne
