I had a very good year with our 2006-2007. The Royalty attended a record 14 parades and at least 6 coronations in the season
A select few in our organization wanted to cancel The royalty for 2007-2008 and start it again for the season after.
I reasoned that if it stops for one year it will probobly never be reserected again.
The below is what people mean when they say "Andy, Dont ever get married"
It is what happens when you have 2 people that wont give an inch.
_______________________________________________________________________________
To whomever will be handling the sponsors:
Here are the Royalty Sponsors I got for us, before completely washing my hands of anything more to do with WHD or the royalty program this morning, which I WAS asked to do - and you all know why:
A E called ME AGAIN this morning (before I read the e-mail C wrote this morning), I DID NOT "Solicit" her! - just so there's NO confusion about that, after calling me yesterday afternoon wanting to know WHAT exactly the money would be used for, as Brittany requested a sponsorship from them. I told her that since I'd personally already obtained enough sponsorship $ for the purchase of sashes & dresses, that the $ should go to scholarships. That's where the $ SHOULD go - & I'm not particularly interested in whether or NOT any of you want what will be considered "my opinion" on where the $ should go. That is exactly what the "sponsorship" program was intended & designed to do - raise $ for scholarships & cover limited costs related to royalty, but God only knows if that's really where it will go, since your newest "Royalty Committee Member" has different ideas about EVERYTHING else & even changes rules WITHOUT a committee vote! Why wasn't I ever allowed to do that???? Regardless, I wanted you guys to know exactly what I told A.
If there's a problem with what I told A, in that someone changed the sponsorship program from what I know it to be (since I did compose it to begin with) - then one of YOU can deal with it! IF it has been changed, you better make sure you've got a current sponsorship program IN HAND while your updating Annie with the changes, as she will want to know exactly WHAT that money is for!
Andy - I sure as hell hope you straightened C out on all the things YOU DID ask me for help with on this coronation! You know you asked from MY help. What I don't understand is why you would betray me like that? C writes: "We would also like to clarify this; we have not asked you to MC this year’s coronation, nor will we allow you to do so." What the heck was this???? Who is "We" - there's ONLY you and HER for God's Sake! And you know you asked me to do this, as well as help on several other things! I hope you learn how to communicate with others in the future! Either you didn't communicate with C, or she's one hellova lot more brazen than anyone of us gave her credit for!
I require NO response from anyone. I would prefer if you simply removed my e-mail address from your address books. I will do the same. I'm so done.

You're most welcome! I'd like you to know that my advise & opinions were NOT unsolicited. Although I only attended a couple of meetings this past year (due to Jeff's issues, which everyone was aware of), I was still very much involved with the Royalty & for all intents & purposes still a committee member. I did try to "resign", but that didn't stop anyone from utilizing me as the "go-to" person - it only slowed them down a bit!
I'm not offended either!

As I stated in my previous email, we will be moving forward in the direction with decisions that have already been made. As the website mandates “Requirements and Guidelines are subject to change without notice” Therefore, decision we have made will stand for the 2007 coronation.
I thank you for your suggestions and concerns. I do respectfully believe that since you have resigned and are not a committee member this year you are no longer involved in those decisions.
Please refrain from any further unsolicited advice, correspondences, and opinions that you may have in regards to this year’s royalty program.
I will conclude this matter to be closed with you and will not respond to any further correspondences regarding Webster Harvest Days Royalty with you.
My intent is not to offend you, please be respectful of the choices made by this year’s committee.
Regards,
Ca

any problems that can be caused before then.
There is a article in lonsdale shopper supposed to be out today, hopefully all the names are spelled correctly.
Im counting the days till then.
Later Andy

Unfortunately it is too late to consider implementing any new application package or process. We can not hold the girls accountable for the new application package that you have just emailed to me. Since the coronation will take place in 3 days it is not a reasonable request for the girls to gather this information in time, nor will it be required at this late date. The girls relied on and completed the application that was provided by the Webster Harvest Days website, which we will be honoring. I understand all the girls have completed the form on line which will be an acceptable application for the 2007 coronation taking place this Friday, August 24th.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ch, you have put a lot of thought into this package. I recommend you bring this to next years Royalty Committee chair to consider it as a resource going forward. As you are not apart of this years royalty committee I am sure you understand.
To clarify, it is too late to consider implementing any new application package or process. While many are thankful for your efforts, contributions, and past involvement, we will be moving forward swiftly in the direction with the decisions that have already been made.
Regards,
Ca

Hi Ca,
Andy advised this past Friday evening that he had placed you in charge of the royalty for this upcoming year. For your convenience, I've attached a "Royalty Application" file for you. You will need to reference info in this application for the coming year, in relation to Codes of Conduct, Eligibility, Dress Code, etc..... There have been changes made since 2005, when you & Brittany last filled out this application.
This is the most current application form, which I do not believe Andy had on the website for applicants to fill out, however, does supersede the "outdated" one. This current application was updated in early September 2006 and available to all committee members since it was updated.
I thought this info would be helpful to you.
Best Wishes on a successful season!
