Present (at varying times):  Bronisláva, Kudrun, Maewyn, Amata, Gavin, Bob, Mike, Patty, Jim.

Bronisláva, as acting Herald oyezed the meeting to order about two seconds before Amata, the real herald, showed
up. Amata was appointed acting chronicler so Kudrun could act as seneschal. Luckily, there were new people present, so the meeting didn’t have to degenerate into an explanation of who was acting what.  Instead, we degenerated into explanations of the period titles of our officers.

OFFICER REPORTS

Exchequer
  • Maewyn needs to be reimbursed for some expenses, but we need another check signer to make it legal.He’s not in a rush.
  • While he had the floor, Maewyn reported that he had updated our contact information with the LaCrosse Public Library.
Chronicler

Kudrun gave Maewyn a $12 contribution (from Pierre) to the White Birch fund.

Chirurgeon

Gavin may not be able to continue in the role, since his knee is giving him a bad time. The chirurgeon’s office was explained to the newcomers.

Autumn Rose

  • The Autocrat/Event Steward (more discussion of funny titles) reports that the feast will be more”Middle Eastern” than “Persian” so the theme is still Crusades.
  • Bronisláva is seeking marshals.
  • Suggestions for site tokens were invited, and the possibility of a work day was introduced.
  • “Events” were explained to the newcomers with an assortment of pictures from events.  These were also illustrative of garb, particularly the ubiquitous t-tunic.

Around 2:50 the meeting turned into general discussion about SCA, so we adjourned to a magnificent spread – two soups, salad, several breads… be jealous, all ye who were not in attendance!

In an afterthought Kudrun asked if there were any A&S projects to report.  Amata wrote a book review. Gavin is still doing kumihimo, and is beginning herbal research.  We tried to elect Gavin Minister of Arts & Sciences, but he flatly refused to leave the room so we could do so.

As the meeting moved into the kitchen, Amata wrote her check and official membership form, making this the second month in a row that a membership check has been written in Bronisláva’s apartment. What a Chatelaine!
