<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>After reading your applications, I am happy to welcome you as members of the Order of the Evil Basset Empire, or OEBE. You have all achieved significant accomplishments that qualify you for membership! Welcome to our club.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Isabella and Lola are invited to join the Southern Division of OEBE, run by Megan Mariah of Arkansas. You are both WAY south in Mexico City.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Sadly, I do not know where you live, Cnly. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>All of you must choose OEBE titles and send them to me, Roland, OEBE heir apparent-or hair apparent, Mom says.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I love doing this OEBE stuff very much,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Roland, Duke of Ears</DIV>
<DIV>ps: I like oboes very much. We could eat the reeds as well.<BR><BR></DIV>
