Reign XXXIII
The 33rd Reign
There are many perceptions of the Imperial Court of
the Rocky Mountain Empire (ICRME) and we have heard just about all of them. But
out of all of the things you might have heard, is your perception an accurate
one. Is it one of grandeur and parades, of performances and entertainment or is
one of philanthropic work, continued education based programs and community
involvement. Well, all of these things are correct and are part of ICRME's rich
history. For Thirty-four years, ICRME has been actively involved in the
communities of Northern Colorado through fund raising, education, raising
awareness to social and political issues and performing noble deeds. Hundreds
and Thousands of dollars are raised by members of ICRME along with members of
our communities every year to assist those in need and most of that is done
under the leadership of two individuals you, the community elects every April;
one week before ICRME's Coronation Ball.
Being elected Emperor or Empress of the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain
Empire provided us with some amazing opportunities to serve you during our year
as well as provided some unprecedented moments and memories for a lifetime.
During our year, we saw Monarchs on the covers of publications, announced
Denver's 2006 Gay Pride Parade and Family Day and volunteered with C.A.P.'s Art
for Life. Thousands of Dollars of product was donated to Urban Peak for direct
use in their facility and its clients and ICRME contributed a successful team to
AIDS Walk Colorado. Through the White Rose Scholarship Fund, a branch of this
organization, $13,000 in Continued Education Scholarships will be awarded. We
traveled to over 14 cities and networked and with others in charitable based
fields and learned from each other. ICRME was recognized at the Gender Identity
Center's annual convention "Gold Rush" as the Friend to the G.I.C.'s
Organization of the Year.
Snowball 2006, “Wishes of a Celtic Winter, A Force of Nature”, actively though
out the community raised approximately $16,000 in funds and products donated to
its charities; Urban Peak and the Colorado AIDS Project.
King of Hearts 2007, “GOTHAM, A Force of the Mind” brought creativity and whimsy
to an entertaining evening introducing three candidates for the offices of
Emperor and Empress XXXIV.
Coronation 34, “HEAVEN, A Force To Be Reckoned With”, brought in over 400
participants, including the presence of the new titular head of the
International Court System, Empress Nicole the Great, Queen Mother of the
Americas. Two Heirs Apparent to Empress Nicole were named from Denver that
evening; Empress XXIII – Sydney Andrews and Emperor XXXIII – Michael Vrooman.
We have forged and continued many relationships with those in our community and
are extremely proud of the accomplishments of the Organization as a whole with
our communities. It is important to remember that you elect the position of
Emperor and Empress. We took that seriously as community servants. We worked
with you and for you and it was an honor and a privilege. Thank you for the
opportunity.
