Notice To All Brothers Of Equal Indignity

Be it known throughout the encampment and beyond: the December Bastardos Dinner hath been graciously co-opted by the grand and glittering Widder’s Ball.

In the spirit of unity, fraternal indulgence, and domestic diplomacy, the Bastardos shall forgo their usual Second-Thursday convening and instead throw their collective weight (and questionable dance form) behind this Chapter-wide gala.

Thus, in the month of December, there shall be but one feast, one gathering, and one opportunity to redeem ourselves in the eyes of our patient Widders. Don thy Clampfineries, polish thy manners, and prepare to be judged kindly—or not at all.

By proclamation of El Bastardo Corto, under faint supervision of the Noble Grand Humbug, Clampyear 6030.
