No council meeting is scheduled for December.
Yule: will be at the same site (Lutheran Church of the Masters). we have the site from 4 to 10 but the event will be 5-9. No site fee, requesting donations. (according the Drew, we gave the church approximately $105 last year). It will be a potluck, bring your bocce, games, chess, backgammon. (Cera volunteered to bring her bocce set. Asked Colyn if Barony still has the games she made years ago.)
Memorial Event: Baron Colyn’s comments: we want to host one this April, need to get on the calendar. In 2011 we want to switch time slots with Anniversary. October would be a more fitting date for the Memorial Event (2010 - Memorial Event in April & Anniversary in October, 2011 - Anniversary in April & Memorial in October). Also, would like to consider combining Anniversary and Darkwell.
Khalida’s comments: what do we ant to do with this, do we only want to do a tournament or something more, do we want to do it as a charity? How do we want to run a charity? do we want a raffle? After an informal vote the general conscensus was we want a Tournament and Charity with a raffle. colyn siad we want to have the memorial tent set up again. Khalida will look to see how the Pink Ribbon Tourney was run and gather ideas from that. Suggestion was to speak to Agytha regarding trim for a raffle item, also, beadwork and something weapon related such as a rapier buckler and a a centerround for heavies, possibly painted orange and decorated with Kolfinna’s device (not her arms!). Bjorn volunteered to try to make a Viking style centerround. Khalida volunteered to autocrat the event. Since there will not be a December meeting, she will work out the details of the event via email correspondence.
A&S Report (Bjorn in attendance): He is attempting to contact Robyn the Grey to set up dancing lessons possibly for January or February.
Will set us an A&S Beautification Day (projects to fix up Baronial equipment or flags, etc. - one necesary repair - the Baronial pavillion needs a small patch of canvas to repair a grommet - does anyone have canvas to donate?) aiming for March or April.
Chronicler (reporting by proxy): waiting on server before we can begin publishing electronically. Hope to have the first electronic publication in January.
Exchequer report (Drew in attendance): We have $6780. Outgoing will be insurance and site fee for Yule. Incoming $150 from the County of Kern. Deputy is THL Ciar ingen Daire. Ciar will be assuming the office at Yule but Drew will finish off the Doomsday report.
Newcomers report (reported by proxy): next meeting will be in January.
Seneschal report: Get your doomsday report in as soon as possible.
Webwright report (Cera in attendance): I will publish the Yule event notice in the next few days. Will send my doomsday report after I finish my finals (sometime aroung the end of the month). Volunteered to submit event notices to the Caid website at the same time I publish the Dun Or event notice. (Update as of Nov 16 - the Caid website says that only the seneshal or event autocrat can submit event notices). I asked if any guilds are active. The answer was no, so I will remove that page. Colyn and Muiriath will be submitting a article regarding receiving letters of intent. I made him sign a permission form and warned everyone that I’m going to be collecting permission forms for everything on the site and my intent is to treat the website like a newspaper, there will be bylines for every article and captions for every photograph.
