Reign 39 went into the year wanting to strengthen several things:

-The relationship with in town Bars, Businesses and Organizations

-The relationship with our Daughter Court, the United Court of the Pikes Peak Empire, Colorado Springs, CO; and -The relationship with our Granddaughter Court, The United Court of the Sandias, Albuquerque, NM.

We believe that we were able to do just that!!

With the closing of one of Denver’s longest running GLBT Bars, BJ’s Carousel, it was a challenge to find a show venue.  The Reign began to think outside the box to do fundraisers.  By working with the Red Dolly Casino in Blackhawk, CO we were able to bring something new on a few occasions.  

As a Board of Directors we were able to successful vote in the new Bylaws, bringing the Imperial Court of the Rocky Mountain Empire in full compliance with the Nonprofit Law in the State of Colorado.  

Some of the charities we raised money for were: The White Rose Scholarship Foundation, Children’s Hospital Immunodeficiency Program, Denver Children’s Advocacy Center, Urban Peak, National Gay and Lesbian Task Force and several others.  This Reign, Ken and Martini asked the Board to venture out on a new fundraising idea-BINGO.  With the support of the 39th Family and a small list of other volunteers we were able to that about one year. This money was used to pay for court expenses incurred for various events.

Early in the Reign we were able to secure and confirm that Queen Mother of the Americas, Nicole the Great and the International Court Council would hold the ICC meeting in Denver at Coronation 40.  ‘Coronation: A Mile High Affair- The Making of a Monarchy’ was held on April 20, 2013 at the Renaissance Denver.  Guests came down the escalator to a fanfare of the Reign Banners hanging from the ceiling and entered a regal display for a 40th Anniversary Celebration.  It was an honor to have 41 members of the College of Monarchs present and the 40th Anniversary College of Monarch photo turned out amazingly beautiful.  As part of the ‘Making of a Monarchy’ costumes and clothing from past reigns were repurposed to outfit the Emperor, Empress, Prince and Princess for the evening.

The 39th Imperial Family were:

Empress’ Line of succession: Princess Melissa Roberts, Queen Mother Kandi Montana, Grand Duchess choc-Latini, Czar “ina” Kody Kay, Marquessa Kenadi, Reina Starr Kirkland, Baroness Sierra Sunset-Bordeaux, and Countess Savanna Sunset-Bordeaux.
