I've actually been reading with interest all the stuff on the Artisan's Retreat. I keep wondering if the concept could be applied to the Pelican side of the house. As a unit the Pelicans do not have the cohesiveness that the Laurel Community has. I think that a large part of that is due to the nature of how a Pelican thinks (and there are definitely differences). But I think that part of it is due to the fact that none of the Pelicans have really made an effort to connect as a group outside of Peerage Meetings. I think that if we were to actually unionize, we could rock An Tir's world. :-)

Actually we have talked about it several times, anything from a retreat to a rally. The problem is; we are either too busy, too committed or too something.

I would be a great idea though
