Lady Eibhilin brought up the possibility of us having someone from the
group go to some of the Tarleton student clubs’ meetings and speak to them
about the SCA.  This conversation lead into a discussion about exploring
what we would need to do to start a college group on campus. Korbinian

to start a college group and then will report back to the Canton.

Lady Eibhilin asked if the group was going to participate in Tarleton
University’s Homecoming Parade again this year. It was mentioned that this
gives us exposure to the students on campus. Lady Eibhilin agreed to look
into planning and composing a budget so that members who wish to
participate may be in Tarleton’s parade.

Lady Eibhilin suggested that there are a number of spots on Tarleton’s
Campus where we could put up posters about our group and the SCA. The
Hospitaler, Her Excellency Lauretta and Lady Eibhilin will work together to
make and put up posters or flyers on campus.

Joseph asked if the group was interested in a scribal night. It was
discussed to start the Scribal Guild back up. The A&S Minister Lady
Eibhilin selected Joseph as the new Scribal Guild leader.

Lord Arthur reminded everyone that we should start thinking about putting
people in for awards.

Everyone was reminded that next Sunday, the 21st, Elfsea will be coming
down to DFT for a fighter practice. Garb should be worn at this practice.

coordinate with members who want to car pool to events.

Lord Franklin mentioned to the group with the 25th Yule (2015) and 25th
Guardian (2016) coming up to start thinking about things we could do to
make them special.

It was announced that a financial committee meeting would follow the
populace meeting.
