[Elfsea] Seminary South Demo?

[baron at elfsea.ansteorra.org]

So very much of what gets done in the SCA (and, indeed,
in life) happens because someone sees a need and steps
in to fill it.

Lady Madelina, thanks so much for being the one to do
that in this case.

One of our topics for next business meeting will be how
we can avoid missed dates and calendar conflicts in the
future.  I have an idea or two about this.
