🌟 Lodge Achievements & Recognition

Major Leadership Transition:

Joel here – stepping out from behind the admin curtain for a moment to share some big news. I’ve accepted a promotion to Regional Venture-Coordinator for Organized Play, overseeing a seven-state region (Virginia, West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia). This fills the vacancy created when Doug Edwards retired as of July 31st. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve accomplished together in Atlanta over the past 5 years as your Venture-Captain. Don’t worry – the screaming goats and I aren’t going anywhere! I’ll still be around locally, just maybe a bit less hands-on as I take on these broader regional responsibilities. I’ll still be putting out these weekly updates, handling website maintenance, and working on those upcoming Discord changes we mentioned. And that DragonCon planning committee I mentioned? That’s still going to be me and 2-3 other people, so I’ll definitely still have my hands on DragonCon in my own way. Plus, I’m working on a regional hub website where I’ll be attempting something similar to these updates on a much grander scale.

Please join me in congratulating James R on stepping up as our new Venture-Captain, Liam F on his promotion to Venture-Lieutenant, Will H on his promotion to Venture-Lieutenant, and Dennis B on becoming Venture-Captain of Columbus. These are all well-deserved promotions for incredible volunteers who will continue to make our community thrive!

🏆 Recent Promotions:

James R has been promoted to Venture-Captain of AtlantaPFS
Liam F has been promoted to Venture-Lieutenant
Will H has been promoted to Venture-Lieutenant
Dennis B has been promoted to Venture-Captain of Columbus

Please join us in celebrating these amazing volunteers who help make our gaming community thrive!
