===== Princess Anne Continuing Service Award =====

Once upon a time there was a beautiful princess who lived 
in a castle with at least 2 stories.  On each floor she grew 
African violets, very small and perfect.  

One day the 
princess said, “I’d like to be a librarian and help the Royal 
Court grow these wonderful plants.”  And so she did!  She 
called for the Royal Photographer.  They decided to take 
pictures of the blossoms in the Royal Capitol and make a 
Royal CD to help the Royal Library into the 21st
 Century.  

And it was good! 

Then, the Princess said, “I’d like to fill the library with 
Royal DVDs.”  And so she did!  She called for the Royal 
Narrator, the Prince, who also grew African violets, very 
big and perfect.  They called this the Royal Library 
Committee.  Princess Anne did this forever after.  

And it 
was very good!  

The Royal Court jumped up and down with glee.  And, 
when the Royal Realm heard it, they jumped up and down, 
too.  

The Queen in her Royal Counting House counted out 
the money.  And it was very, very good.  

And everyone 
lived happily ever after! \\

 
The African Violet Society of America thanks and 
cherishes Anne Nicholas and grants her the Continuing 
Service Award.
