Sacrificial Request: Sapphire Blade OT Prajna Berkana (3883)

The recipient of a Sapphire Blade is a member whom has displayed an extraordinary amount of activity, service or dedication to a position or a task within the Brotherhood. Generally, I have seen such awards bestowed upon members whom participated, and won, a major Brotherhood-wide competition. However, today I request it be awarded for being a driving force behind the scenes of a major Brotherhood-wide competition.

Without the assistance of Prajna, the 2008 Independence Games could not have happened. That is a simple truth. Prajna assisted me at every stage/level of this competition from fine-tuning the actual proposal and the events to coding the entire site (the entire thing) and showing maturity to outsource the layout/graphics to provide the best possible presentation for our entire club. He dug through records to provide depth (such as the original grievances) and functionality (date and timestamp features, database, etc). Additionally, once the events started coming in, PJ was the guy making sure they were appropriately getting to the right places. And once we closed the event, he zipped up all the packages, created a gmail account, uploaded the entries, organized them by file, created a googledocument (tracking participation and placement points), compiled all of the gaming statistics (and uploaded them) and stayed on top of it to ensure the grading was completed. He spent nearly three months involved in this project... from beginning to end. Well done.

His level of maturity and dedication truly stand out in my eyes. His role was nothing short of critical and he performed the tasks that we expect of our highest echelon of members. Great work, Prajna. You are truly deserving of this award.
