<div dir="ltr">Aline,<br><div><br></div><div>I made the changes to the Elfsea Public Calendar. Those changes should be reflected on the website in a few hours. I added you as a guest with editing privileges. THis will allow you to make changes to the Scribal Guild monthly appointment as needed. Those changes will automatically update the website, with a little delay. I changed the address to your house and added some of the text from your email to the event. Please feel free to change the wording, or request that I make some changes. Please let me know how this works and if anything needs fixing.</div><div><br></div><div>Thomas Grey</div><div>Webminister for Elfsea</div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Fri, Aug 25, 2023 at 8:59 PM Marisa Burbidge via Elfsea <<a href="mailto:elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org">elfsea@lists.ansteorra.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">Hello all, <div><br></div><div>I'm Aline Hopton and I'm the interim Principal Scribe for the Barony of Elfsea. I wanted to explain some changes that are going to be happening with the guild.</div><div>First off, because the three most prolific calligraphers are either going to be moving in a year (me) or are taking on more massive responsibilities (Absolon and Silvana) their "nex(t)"cellencies have asked that <b>charters</b> be made available for baronial awards. <u>This does not mean we will not accept originals.</u> WE LOVE ORIGINALS! But we want to make sure that we have multiple ways to provide awards to our populace. I am designing three in a 14th Century style as that matches Absolon and Silvana's personas. I'm hoping the Portcullis design will be done in September, and the Western and Eastern Tower designs by November. </div><div><b>Schedule changes to guild meetings:</b> The September meeting will be on Saturday, Sept 16 as planned. However I am going to have my house open from 12pm-4pm. We can snack and chat and paint and write. It isn't necessary to be there the entire time. If you're really only available from 2-4 as was the old meeting time, then please join us for that time!</div><div><b>Due to conflicts, October and November guild meetings will be combined into a single meeting on Saturday November 4, 2023</b>. It will also be at my home and also run from 12-4 (maybe later if we want to really marathon it). I wanted to make sure we meet at least one time after the investiture but before Elfsea Yule and my goal is that we will have the new charter designs fully available if people would like to paint them. </div><div>Right now I plan to hold December and January's monthly meetings on their respective days, 12/16 and 1/20. I am aware that 1/20 is listed in the Calendar as Winter Roundtable, but we have wireless internet and people are welcome to come and paint and do meetings from my house if they like.</div><div><br></div><div>My address is 3328 Meadow Wood Ln, Bedford TX 76021. Please be aware that I have two dogs and four (not a typo) cats. The dogs can be...loud sometimes. We will do our best to keep them from getting into people's business. I have children and game consoles but my youngest is 11 and the house is in no way babyproofed anymore. </div><div><br></div><div>Upcoming, I will be teaching a gilding workshop sometime in 2024 before I'm set to move. I will let everyone know a month or two in advance. </div><div><br></div><div>Please please feel free to email me if you have any questions! I will also send out a reminder the week before each meeting.</div><div><br></div><div>In Service,</div><div>Aline Hopton</div></div>
