MoAS:

• Check out the Kingdom Arts and Sciences website for the new criteria. There's lots of good information on the site and the criteria has changed dramatically.

• We received $500 as a donation from Jim Ballard for last year's JAV demo.

Marshal:

• The Lilies shower benches have been cut and transferred to Volkmar for assembly.
• Contacted Parks and Rec about permission to have fighter practice in Bethany Park. The person in charge mentioned charging a fee. Callaghan has written back to him to negotiate about this fee. There will be no practice at Bethany Park until this is settled. In the meantime, practice will continue at the park at Easterday Rec Center (no access to the building, however). Practices will change to Wednesday evenings 6:30 as of May 19th.

Demo Coordinator:

• Boy Scout Jamboree, Aug. 21: polled the fighters present and they will do the demo.

Largesse Coordinator:

• Last week 42 neck coolers were worked on with a large portion completed. This evening we will be working on them again. The Baroness has asked for 100 neck coolers. Yellow fabric has been provided to finish out the request and Jane has created a bull head stamp to stamp each neck cooler. We will have one more Moot night to work on these after tonight. (This will be on May 25th).
• Katalina and Vasilla have been working on an idea for largesse. HE Vasilla is issuing a challenge to all individuals of the barony and canton to provide as many of whatever you would like to make for largesse. This items will be displayed at Coronation (or Cattle Raids, depending on whether we get the Coronation bid or not). Vasilla will be providing a prize for the the winner. Terms of the competition will be stated at the next Moot (May 25th).

Baronage:
