LOCAL NEWS - Free Comic Book Day is Coming! Howdy! It has now been ten tumultuous days since the annual Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire election. I know that many of you who voted have been waiting for the announcement of who won, so I am delighted to pass on to you that our candidate, Norrie Reynolds, was anointed as the 43rd elected Empress of the ICRME on Saturday night! Manny Sexton (whom some of you also supported) was chosen as Emperor 43. Empress 43 Norrie Reynolds and Emperor 43 Manual Sexton It might interest you to know that both of the winning candidates won by overwhelming margins by specifically appealing to voters outside of the traditional ICRME community. If you voted for either of these two candidates you can take pride in knowing that you helped to bring a set of entirely new perspectives to Denver's oldest LGBT organization. That having been said, both Manny and Norrie have made clear to me that they very much wish to continue the close fundraising ties between our ICRME and Mile High Comics communities. Even though I have now relinquished my title of reigning Prince Royale, I welcome this opportunity to work with our friends at the ICRME. Emperor 42 Richard Brendlinger and Prince Royale 42 Charles Rozanski So you know, we have nearly a dozen worthy charities that are looking to us to raise funds for them over this next year, including Rainbow Alley, Freedom Service Dogs, Urban Peak, White Rose Scholarships, Denver Rescue Mission, and several others. To meet their needs we are planning a busy schedule of auctions, poker games, autograph parties, and other activities that will further those charitable goals. Your help and assistance during some of these fundraisers would be most sincerely appreciated. Working together, we really can make a positive difference! Empress 43 Norrie Reynolds and Emperor 43 Manual Sexton As regards the timing of our next MHC / ICRME charity event, it will have to be Free Comic Book Day, which will be on Saturday, May 7th. I wish that we could first host one of our fun no-minimum-bid auctions for you during April, but with our having to be completely moved out of our 56th Ave. building by April 22nd, there is just no way. As it is, I will be driving a 26-foot truck between our two buildings, every day for the next four weeks. Once we get to FCBD, however, our move will be completed, so I will then be able to refocus my energy back into expanding our comics stock for you, and also hosting charitable events. Stay tuned for further developments! That's it for today. Please have a great week, and try to take the time to enjoy your comics. You deserve it! Happy Collecting!
