"To the Fleet:
This has been in the works for the last week or so...
The HWF Awards Council is proud to announce a new Council Award, the:
'Alyza Admiralty Star for Superior Leadership'
"This is a Council Award that is awarded to Fleet Admin who have served
in the same admin position for two or more consecutive years and go
above and beyond what is required by their position or mandate. A
player awarded the Alyza Admiralty Star has continually inspired the
fleet through
providing strong leadership and is considered one of the best HWF has
to offer. Players awarded this Admiralty Star are considered
invaluable to the Fleet and shall be considered lifetime honorary
Admirals within HWF.
"This award was named for a player that some of us know as Gretchen,
but most know as Aly or Alyza. The Award is specifically named for
the Player, and not the character of the same name (though the
character has also demonstrated great leadership over the years ;) ).
No other HWF Awards have been named after a specific player, and this
is our humble attempt to show our deepest appreciation for the years
and years of leadership provided by Gretchen mka Alyza.
"The HWF Council is proud to present the Alyza Admiralty Star for
Superior Leadership to the following player [..] on Stardate 19.0605:
"Gretchen mka Alyza for five plus consecutive years of superior
leadership while serving as an outstanding role model for the club in
the Admin position of Fleet Commanding Officer.
"Congrats and again, thank you to both of you on behalf of the entire club."
-Geoff Winder, current Fleet CO.

 On SD 12.0305,
Clark Goble's, the Fleet CO said:
"Hi all,
I would like you all to take the time to appreciate one of our players who
has made the sacrifice of her time and effort to help make our club better
for everyone. Gretchen Shapiro, who most of you know as Aly, is a former
Admiral. She currently serves as the Fleet's Web Master, the Ombudsman, and
as the CO of DS 101. She is also a great asset to the USS Curie. Aly has
worked as hard, if not harder, than any other player I can remember in the
Fleet ... and I have been here for quite awhile.
I want it known how much I, and the rest of the fleet, appreciate Aly for
all of her hard work. She is by every definition of the word, indispensable.
I am proud to present Aly with the Golden Chain Award which is granted to
players who are thought to be indispensable.
Aly, thank you for all of your hard work.

On SD 11.0209,
Shaun Darlington, the Fleet XO said:
"Recently, there was a recommendation made to give a certain player an
award. The trouble was, according to Fleet rules, it is technically
illegal to award this player with the award suggested. It isn't that the
player doesn't qualify, far from it, just that the player in question is
the only one in the Fleet allowed to give it.
"After consultation with the Ombudsman by the nominator, it falls on me
to break the Fleet rules and Award Aly with the Golden Chain Award.
If anyone wants to question my authority to do this, then see me
outside.
BTW, Raven (the nominator) will be there waiting for you as well. :)
"Congratulations Aly. I think Raven's words, below, sum it up."
Not only are Aly's RP submissions of a consistently high quality, but
her NRPG, both to the unit and to the fleet as a whole, is second to
none. The amount of time and effort that is put in by her on behalf of
HWF, goes, for the most part, unremarked upon. Yet despite all the work
she still finds time to be helpful and informative whenever contacted
with a question or comment.
If Aly doesn't class as irreplaceable (Which is what the 'golden chain'
award represents) then frankly I don't know who in HWF IS!

On SD 9.1129 the following was announced:
"Since joining AHR, this woman has done remarkable work and shown a
commitment above and beyond the call of duty. She has done a magnificent
job since taking over as CO of DS101 and has put a lot of time into
developing a new race on that station, not to mention her work on numerous
other innovations (such as floor plans etc). At the same time as taking on
the extra work in her role of SC of Beaver Squadron, she has still managed
to be one of the highest posters, without neglecting any of her other
ships/characters/duties.
"For this, I hereby proudly present Gretchen with the Meritorious
Service Citation. Live long and prosper Gretchen!
"Respectfully,
"Admiral Saishan
aka Tatya"
