New Scriba Emeriti and
Scribes of Americas:
Americas thanks Mangas and Apo Mayta for their great work and contribution for Americas. (
check the news
announcement). ChanChan Tupac's words describe it well:
Their creativity and enthusiasm
has led to some outstanding, fun and educational events. We're sad to lose two great
scribes, but at the same time lucky to get
Lipset YellowStar and
Aynara MorningStar to
replace them. Lipset is probably known to almost all newbies, as she's been the most active
greeter for years, and Aynara is actually no newbie to scribing... and she worked already on
some Americas' events during the last GoldFest... both are graphically talented, so in that
way Americas scribal team remains the same.
