April+2016+Business+Meeting

Hy-Vee West Meeting Room 6 April 2016 Attending: Jutte, Anna, Johan, William, Juliana, Sofya, Gobban, Gwenhwyvar, Sifrid

__Seneschal__: It's a $5 Member Discount, not a Non-Member Surcharge. It's an Event Registration (?) not an Event Fee. Or something.

__Chatelaine__: Hampton demo for Monday, May 23rd, starting 1 pm-ish. Jeromiah, the new teacher, is very excited about this. Will try to get some fighters. Charles City doesn't want a demo. We have plenty of books to donate.

__ Exchequer: __ We have money - no outstanding checks and no outstanding bills. She hasn't looked at the new Event Fee verbiage or the new forms, yet.

__ Fighter Marshal: __ Hoping to start practices.

__ Archery Marshal: __ The winter shoot scores were sent in. We have bows. We have arrows. We have backstops. Plumbata - period lawn darts.

__ Chronicler __ : I need your articles ASAP. The Parade will come out this weekend, if people get their stuff to me.

__ A&S: __ not present, apparently completed the "25 Hour Scholar" project at Gulf Wars already by Tuesday or Wednesday!

__ Herald __ : We have names. We have Heraldry. I'm going to start a series of educational articles for non-heralds to answer FAQs. If you have suggestions for topics you'd like covered, let me know. "Ask a Herald..."

__Web Minister__: We have a website and a Facebook presence. Shire Google calendar ID: lhncpfl1s606bs52qhn22pgbt4@group.calendar.google.com Unofficial Calontir Google calendar ID: Calendar ID: 58kvund2c5kj43duhkh2hlf948@group.calendar.google.com
