Very good days:
My name is Violeta Jaunez Rojas and I am the International Relations member of the Spanish Tolkien Society STE is a 30-year-old non-profit literary society that currently has about 800 members. Our objective is the promotion, dissemination and study of the work of J.R.R. Tolkien. For this we hold events such as readings and meetings, organize workshops and activities and use our social network y dissemination channels.
Our partners include experts in various Tolkien-related fields and published writers. At the same time, STE is part of the largest podcast about Tolkien in Spanish in the world, Regreso a Hobbiton (10,000 downloads / episode); and the biggest YouTuber on fantasy in Spanish, Kai47/Bernard Torelló(780,000 subscribers) is an active member of our society.
I would like to be in contact with you so that you can create new alliances and strengthen our connection through the work of the Professor. We are very excited to create new work links and be more connected by our societies. Any topic or idea is welcome and I will be happy to meet you.
And now I will share some interesting news with you:
We already have the 2021 Annual Memorandum and State of the Spanish Tolkien Society to share it with you:

«Ælfwine» Essay Awards 2022. We would love for you to be a part of our open contest. Our goal is to encourage and promote the knowledge and study of the life and work of J.R.R. Tolkien.
I share the bases of the contest:

Also let you know our Scribd, with different files, such as the Gandalf or Ælfwine Awards, and especially the free volumes of our Estel Magazine

The date of our beloved EstelCon, the annual meeting of members and non-members of the STE, is approaching and I wanted to share with you the website of the event:

Finally, we invite you to participate in our new Telegram group, called "Tolkien Societies of the World" in which if you are not yet participating in it, we want you to be a part right now. Up to two ambassadors from each Society in the world can participate. I share the link below:

Thank you very much and I remain attentive to the comments.
Best regards,
Tenna rato.
And again my (this time only late) reply:

Good evening, Violeta and thank you for reaching out!
I am not going to apologize (again) for late reply as you have already read my apologies yesterday. O:)
But I must say that the list of the activities of your society is impressive.
Our society exists only for 20 years, but in the last few years we are in the "Gondor of the late 3rd Age" state - we are only a shadow of our past. This is mostly because of work- and family-duties of our members which have no time and energy for other activities.
But nevertheless we are still alive and eager to connect with Tolkien enthusiasts from around the world.
As I wrote yesterday to Carlos, our Ambassadors will join your Telegram group soon and I am looking forward to the times where there will be more opportunities to connect and cooperate.
Have a nice evening.
