The fourteenth reign began with an accent on fun. No one was better qualified to lead this reign than the two people the city selected as Emperor and Empress XIV, Hank Naccarato and Robin Turner. The 14th Reign dedicated itself to re-establishing the ICRME link to the community they were elected to serve. The Emperor and Empress encouraged their line members to hold functions for their adopted organizations, which happened to be the Colorado AIDS Project. In addition to the myriad of activities as Emperor and Empress XIV, both Monarchs found themselves further elected to serve on Boards of Directors for CASA and while there, managed to help that organization raise and donate over $7000 to the Carousel Ball which is a major fundraiser for CAP. Empress Robin was, in turn, selected to serve on the Board of Directors for CAP.

Hank and Robin held their major functions without depending on themes to carry them. They were simply called the PR Ball, held at Rossi’s; Snowball, hosted by the Downtown Radisson and The King of Hearts Ball placed at the Denver Turnverine.

Empress XIV, Robin was supported in her endeavors by an outstanding line of succession headed by the Princess Royale, Raye Bobian; Queen Mother, Pearl DeVere; Grand Duchess, Lucy LaRue; Czarina, Brittany Michaels; and Marquessa, Monique LaBrey. Emperor XIV, Hand was aided by his Prince Royale, Joe Sequenzia; King Father, Ron Heath; Grand Duke, Jerry Harrel; Czar, Gary Chapman; Marquis, Dwayne Ohls, and Don, John Menchaca. The 14th Reign is on which was truly recognized citywide and Robin further enhanced her reign by presenting her permanent title to the owners of B.J.’s Carousel, Mr. Bob Engels as Father of the Realm. Hank, as Emperor XIV was supported throughout his entire year by his life partner and in return awarded Gary Allsupp the title of Imperial Prime Minister for Life.

As the Downtown Radisson, the 14th Reign hosted “The Turn of A Century” and closed out their year leaping through time and welcoming the future, which was to become the 15th Reign.
