Moot Minutes

19 October 2003

Officers:

Treasurer: Quarterly report copies available for anyone who wants to look at them. Revised and submitted Pytt's quarterly report. Financial Committee met last week and approved $250 tithe to Kingdom (delivered to His Majesty at Conquistador's Folly). Cattle Raids waivers have been sent to the waiver secretary twice now and will probably be sent a 3rd time to make sure she gets them this time. Non-member surcharge funds have been sent to appropriate office.

Chronicler: October 22 (Wednesday) is the next deadline for articles, artwork and letters.

MoAS: Classes were taught at Conquistador's Folly. There was a lot of scroll painting. Reminder that Yule Court is coming up and with that is the Bardic Championship for the barony.

Pursuivant: Congratulations to the folks at the Pytt on their baronial and kingdom awards. Rosa heralded baronial court. (editor's note: Morag heralded Kingdom court). We have 2 new field heralds.

Campi: Campi will be having a Halloween party on Oct. 30 in the Union. Join them for fun and a movie. They will be picking apart "Once Upon A Time". Campi will be hosting the annual Trick or Treating for the Lincoln Food Bank again this year on Oct 31. Starting point is Volkmar and Isadora's house.

Demo Coordinator: There is going to be a spinning only demo on Nov 4 for a 4H club. Katalina is working on this with the known spinners in the group.

Baronage:

• Have received word of one volunteer to help assemble padded bags for new thrones. Vasilla will be putting a bid together for the financial committee for the cost of this project. Additional help is welcome!
• Gave out 8 baronial awards at Conquistador's Folly. 2 were for Mag Morons: Sashatec - Acair, Caylee - Golden Apple.
• Discussed having Campi consider hosting Yule Court on Jan. 24th. Having regional fighter practice probably not a great idea since rumor is that WWM will be in Topeka, KS the prior weekend AND having an event on the kingdom calendar for the 24th would be bad form since Their Majesties really want that weekend open for the Board of Directors meeting in KS. Jane will relay the idea to Campi this week. Isadora will check on availability of St. Mark's, Mikhail will check on the Scottish Rite Temple and Leofwyna will check on the Women's Center for that date.
  

Guilds

Music: Rehearsals weekly on Thursdays until Kris Kinder (except for Nov 20 and Thanksgiving Day).

Scribes: Oct 19 (tonight) at Easterday Rec Center after Moot. We have more Kingdom preprints. Will have Scribes again with Campi on Nov. 6 and at Moot on Nov. 16.

Miscellaneous

Academy of Ancient Music performing in Cedar Falls, IA this next weekend. Angelo and Jane are planning on attending (contact them for details).

RUSH is next weekend in 3 Rivers.

Ideas for things we could do after Moot while we have the facility:

• sewing nights
• dancing
• largesse assembly
• potluck (with crockpots, etc.....no on site cooking)
• philosophy night (Natalya offered to moderate the first one on Nov. 9, subject is What is the focus of A&S in the SCA?)
