Cernunnia 2006

The Grove Annual Meeting

| Back to Main Page | Back to Photos Page |

At our Annual Meeting, held during the Cernunnia (the Festival of Cernunnos) in October, we elected a new
Senior Druid and Executive Committee. We also amended our Bylaws in a significant way.

Nora Ford was elected Senior Druid for three years. Andy Miller was elected Treasurer for a term of one year,
Cassandra Sparrold was elected Secretary for a term of two years, Tina Furtado was elected a Member At Large
for a term of two years, and Rev. Kirk Thomas was also elected Member At Large for a one year term.

Outgoing Senior Druid, Rev. David Foster (Gannd), will now be Senior Druid Emeritus.

At the conclusion the the election announcments, Mrs. Ford was taken to the stalls where she underwent the
Grove Sovereignity Horse Rite, administered by Rev. Thomas.

This was followed by a sumbel rite led by our new Senior Druid who passed the horn for oaths, boasts and toasts.
