The Fabrege Empress

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 Fourteenth Reign dedicated itself to re-affirming 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 organization, which happened to be the Colorado AIDS Project. In addition to the myriad of activities as Emperor and Empress XIV, both Monarchs found themselves also elected to serve on the Board of Directors for CASA.  While there, they managed to help that organization raise and donate over $7000 to the Carousel Ball, 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 Rossis; Snowball, hosted at the Downtown Radisson; and The King of Hearts Ball placed at the Denver Turnverein.

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, Hank, 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 Fourteenth Reign is one which was truly recognized citywide.  Robin further enhanced her reign by presenting her permanent title to the owner of B.J.s Carousel, Mr. Bob Engels:  Father of the Realm. Hank, as Emperor XIV was supported throughout his entire year by his life partner, Gary Allsupp, and in return awarded him the title, Imperial Prime Minister for Life.

At the Downtown Radisson, the Fourteenth Reign hosted The Turn of A Century and closed out their year by leaping through time and welcoming the future, which was to be the Fifteenth Reign.
