<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Greetings from Mistress Stella-</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> As a long time member of Elfsea
and having held a number of offices, including Seneschal, I would like to clear
up a misconception about Business Meetings that has surfaced in the B&B
discussions. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> Our Business meeting is called
"Business Meeting" because it is open to the populace, not just officers, and
anyone who is interested may come and discuss things to their heart's content
and let everyone know what their opinion is on Baronial decisions. We have a
separate Business meeting because often the discussions are long and drawn out
and we wouldn's have time to let everyone give their opinion at Moot where we
have to be out by 9 PM. That is why we try to limit discussions at Moot. So
if you want to be part of the decision process, please, by all means, come to
Business Meeting. The officers would love to have everyone's input!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2> In service, HE
Stella</FONT></DIV>
