Every year it's my honor to look back at the past year(s) and determine who embodies the four Amyrlin Awards.
Philanthropist of the Year
I'm pleased to award this year's Philanthropist of the Year award to @Wil Cambrae . Wil has been a member for longer than I have, and in all that time, he's been generous with his time, money, and service. Thank you for all you do for TarValon.Net, Wil.
Unsung Servant
I've only really noticed @Elanda Tonil since becoming Amyrlin and getting to interact with the Ajahs and Companies on a more personal level. She works very hard for the White Ajah, both in visible and behind-the-scenes ways. Thank you, Elanda, for what you do for your Ajah and for the Tower.
Volunteer of the Year
I was worried that people might say I was playing favorites when awarding Volunteer of the Year to @Jeffan Caliarthan . However, as a wise person told me, it's not fair to either party when I can't recognize people I love for doing amazing things.
So: Jeffan's work in the past year has been simply amazing. He's served as Entertainment Committee Head at two Annis in a row, and done a superb job, putting in many many hours preparing everything. He's revitalized our social media team and taken it in exciting new directions. Finally, he organized a fundraiser for the Tower that raised $3,000, when he and I didn't even expect to raise $500. You work very hard for TarValon.Net, Jeffan, and I'm proud of you and grateful to (and for) you.
Member of the Year
The Member of the Year consistently goes above and beyond, and, in @Kelgan al'Moranwin 's case, he has done so for several years. His long dedication to the Tower has been a boon to me as Amyrlin, and his quiety support to me personally has often brought me comfort. Director of Moderators and Operators can be a thankless position, but it's one Kelgan has held for years without faltering and without complaint. I truly appreciate your dedication, Kelgan, and thank you for all you've done for TarValon.Net.
