Present:  Bronisláva, Kudrun, Gavin, Maewyn, Alois, Kat.

Called to order by Bronisláva, 45-minute deputy herald.

Officers Reports

(While we waited for marshals we discussed a snowball fight. We couldn’t have one – no marshals!)

Chirurgeon

things are quiet.

Web Minister

(in absentia) – emailed that the domain name and web site are good for 2009, but we need a new Web Minister.  No hands went up.

Chronicler

sent out an invitation to renew the White Birch to current subscribers.  A donation is requested for mail version.

Chatelaine??

On hold.

Exchequer

arrived a bit late, but welcome.  He brought the Domesday for the seneschal to sign (and some delicious mushrooms).  We’re solvent.

Youth Minister

chatted.  He’ll be six months old pretty soon.  Translation of his report was not made, but everything seems to be satisfactory, now that he has his noogie.

A&S
  • We need an officer.
  • Gavin has a new kumihimo stitch and helped with soup shopping.
  • Kudrun’s been working on learning her ABGs.
  • Bronisláva made soup.
  • Maewyn made mushrooms.
Seneschal
  • A couple events have been looking for a venue. We talked about the virtue of a spring event. Taylor is ok for snits, but larger events would be better in LaCrosse.  Gavin will investigate some hotels with conference facilities. We probably can’t get anything for this spring, but the research will be done for next spring.
  • PO Box will come due in April.

Autumn Rose

  • Needs to get on the event calendar.
  • This is a demo – not just an event.  We want to get the public there and provide an educationalexperience. This will be emphasized in our publicity to SCA.
  • Bronisláva has asked marshals to email her. No results yet.
  • Theme will be the Crusades.
  • Rokeclif will offer the Fairgrounds a contribution toward replacing the air conditioner in the chirurgeon’s building.  Kudrun will contact Fair Board, offering to go halvsies with them, up to $500.
  • Charges were set:  $10 for the weekend, $8 for day-tripping, $10 for feast.
  • We need staff:  A&S interpreter, youth coordinator, Pyxis contact, performers.

Bronisláva’s 45 minutes of Heraldry were up before we finished the meeting.  There being no herald to oyez us
out, we recessed to eat soup, but the meeting is still going on.
