New Business

	Lord Marius from Raven's Fort came to the Business meeting to propose Gates
Edge running Black White and Sort of Grey in January/February 2002.  Black
White is an assassins guild event not a group event. Stargate did the first
couple recently Raven's Fort has done the last two.  It looks like the event
would take place at the stones but a set date is need for confirmation.
Each year this event is a different theme, Lord Marius would co-autocrat
this event with someone from Gates Edge.   Current ideas for themes which he
presented include Richard the 3rd Quest, Vlad the Impaler with a torch light
tourney, and the Spanish Inquisition.  This event usually brings in a
$600-$700 profit.  Lord Marius will attend populace on Oct 9th to answer
questions.
