Musings and Meeting Minutes for December 1, 2008
For those who couldn’t make it to the business meeting last night, I wanted to post what we talked about. But
first, I wanted to say Thanks for all that came out last night. We had 20 people and it was great! It is nice to
have a good consensus of the populace when making group decisions. We had a couple of new people as well as some
returning members so it was a well balanced group.
We had the final wrap up of our two events this year. For the KCoA event we made a total profit from the event
and the Inn of $473.51 and for the Charlemagne event we had a profit of $341.46. Good job everyone for your hard
work!
I am in the process of updating the Shire's Phone Directory. I'm hoping to make the changes and upload it to the
list today. Please take a look and let me know of any changes that need to be made.
Unfortunately, we were too late to get funding for Trowbridge this winter, so it looks like we will have to continue
either visiting our friends from Wyvern Cliffe's fighter practice (who have acquired the church again) or Lord
Thaddeus has graciously offered his office in JC for fp should it become a necessity.
Our traditional Christmas Revel will be held on Dec. 20th at HL Rhodri's house starting at 5:00 pm. We will have a
potluck dinner with the shire providing a bounty of yummy meat to partake of. After the dinner, we will have our
shire auction so start thinking about what you want to donate for this good cause! Let's see how crazy this revel
will be. Hopefully, this one will be one of those that we look back and say "Remember that revel back in 2008
where that crazy Ilaria jumped on the table and did...?" :)
We had quite the extensive discussion about what event we would like to put on for this upcoming year. First, it
was decided that we would be interested in having the MRS host a symposium. We decided that we would get a list of
possible speakers and vote at the next business meeting on who we would like to have speak for us. So, if you have
someone in mind please email me their name and their area of interest. Secondly, it was decided that we wanted to
have in late summer or early fall another event. We are looking at either putting in a bid for Crown Tourney or
possibly having another high persona event. Rhodri has suggested possibly doing a Russian themed event which would
generate a lot of interest especially with our friends from the north.
We have volunteered to run the inn on Saturday for the Marshall-Flower of Chivalry event in B3R. If you are
interested in heading up this task or willing to help with it, please contact me.
That's all for now, I'm really looking forward to our next meeting on the 15th where we learn about all of the
different traditions of the holidays based on your personas!
HoHoHo,
Caillin
