Baronage:

• Fina needs help with children's activities at Lilies. Specifically she needs someone to be in charge of the promotion, management and judge wrangling for the Children's A&S competition. If interested, please contact Vasilla for details.
• We are putting together the Champions standards over the next 2 months. If anyone wants to help, please let Vasilla know. We are accepting financial help as well as labor help. We'll have 2 sets of standards: 1 for the baronial regalia box for display during court and 1 for the champions to use for their personal display during their terms.
• We'll be having an All Thing sometime between Estrella and Gulf War. If you have something you'd like to have on the agenda, please let us know. We want to make sure we cover everything that's on your mind. We will open the floor during the All Thing for additional topics, but if you already have something in mind, we can put it on the agenda.
• Pre-register for Estrella if you're going!
• Boris & Kyrstin leave for England on Jan. 8. They are renting their house out. If you or someone you know is looking for a nice 2 bedroom house with lots of yard space for a year, let Vasilla, Mikhail or Kyrstin know. They need a good renter.
