From their Excellencies:

Thank you everyone for all of your help and assistance over the last month.  Your efforts are what make the dream work.  It was incredible to see so many things come together. Big thank you to the populace who organized and participated in each of these events.

Updates from the Seneschal:

We have new Kingdom, Seneschal! Our Barony is now looking for a new Seneschal.  Lady Jenefyr’s warrant will expire and we will need a replacement.

Officer Reports:

Exchequer:  

131 People were on site for Coronation.  We did have a few people who did pre-register that did not attend.  Everyone who has been contacted so far has indicated that they would like to donate to the Barony.  We are waiting for receipts for the costs of food for the event. 

Knights Marshall:  Absent. No report.

Minister of the list: Absent. No report.

MOAS:  

The Crafters Green was a great success at Coronation.  

Events for the next few weeks include:

  • A tentative in-person jewelry class on April 24th 
  • A tentative on-line bardic on May 7th

All in person classes are held at Bethel Lutheran Church (room B7)

8712 Plantation Ln, Manassas, VA 20110

Herald:  All of our court reports are in!  They should be updated in the OP.  The Quarterly report is due at the end of the month and then a *little break*

Chronicler: The blog continues.  Newsletters are being sent to Kingdom as they are published 🙂  Send Genefe content for the blog please. (chronicler@stierbach.atlantia.sca.org)  

Chatelaine:  We had a demo scheduled for this past Friday – we did not have a ton of people committed to the demo and Lady Runa ended up cancelling because of a family emergency.  In regards to our Gold Key – our current collection has served the barony well. Lady Runa proposed commissioning some new garments and/or purchasing trim to clean up what we have.  Lady Runa requested $300 to update our Gold Key and $40 for a banner.  There was some question about using the St. Anne’s Guild Fund for dressing up our Gold Key.  Lady Runa offered to head up this project. Concerns were also brought up regarding the storage of our Gold Key.  Lady Runa hopes to get the number of totes down from 10 to 4.

A motion was put forth to set aside $500 for the Chataline to update Gold Key.  The motion passed with 9 yays and no nays.

WebMinister:  Gaius reported that the website is still up.  Master Richard resubmitted a warrant request for himself, Gaius, and Genefe.

QuarterMaster:  Magnus reports no changes since our last meeting.

Old Business:

Updates on equestrian insurance:  The cost of insurance has increased.  Arielle has put in a request to the Equestrian Insurance Fundraiser for additional funds. 

New Business: A bid for Baronial Birthday is coming.  We should expect to see a proposed budget at our next business meeting.

Lord Edward Perry proposed a budget for our next Holiday Faire.  A lively discussion followed.  It was agreed that the budget would be reviewed and edited again to bring down the cost of the event for the barony. 

Populace Comments:

None submitted.

Closing Remarks from their Excellencies 

Their Excellencies are heading to Revenge of the Stich this weekend and hope to see you there.  Stovik Novice is also coming!  Their Excellencies will be there with a day shade.  This will be the first Storvik Novic since the passing of Baroness Gracie. 

Their Excellencies will also be at Pennsic this year for War weekend.  Baronial Court will also be on that Monday.

 We appreciate everything that you do – you make it so easy to represent our Barony 🙂

PLEASE SUBMIT REWARD RECOMMENDATIONS! We accept emails, messages, and award recommendations through the esp.  The esp is really the best way to get us info but we will take what we can get!  Send us stuff and tell us all the great things that are going on!  Thank you to those who are sending us messages 🙂

Meeting adjourned at 8:45 pm
