Because this year has been such a huge one for our Community, the Amyrlin and I conferred before heading over to England for 10th Anni Euro and decided that some additional recognitions were needed. Each year, the Amyrlin gives out a series of awards to recognize members that have gone above and beyond in their service to our Community.
First, we wanted to recognize two members who over the course of their membership have served in many different roles, and have done so much for our Membership.
Servants of All:
Kerna Sedai and Naeris Gaidin
Kerna has been a member since long before I was!
She has served in many roles for her Ajah including heart, soul *and* sitter, has been a forum moderator, an editor in the library, a member of the Philanthopy team, is currently HIstorian and Head of the Blue Ajah. She's been a force of nature in getting our histories flushed out and expanded and goes out of her way to keep abreast of goings on in the Community and helping out where needed.
Naeris joined us in 2005 and was raised to Gaidin almost a year later in May 2006. He also has served on the warder council as well as Honor Guard and Company Commander for Dai M'hael. He's received members choice awards for his representation of of his Company and of the Gleemen Guild and is currently serving as the European Master of the Revels. He has always been a positive presence throughout the Community and was fabulous to finally get to meet this past month!
The final award given out at Euro went to someone who has shaped so much of the spirit of this Community over the years. She's served in more positions than I can count including Tower Voice, Head of Ajah, Director, and all around trouble maker!
:P She's the originator of painting the Tower pink, I think has blown it up more than once, and is one of the originators of the Blue obsession with s'redit 
I was so looking forward to meeting her after so long having known her this year, and she was just as delightful in person as she's always been on our forums.
