Meeting began at 7:40pm</p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>B
& B: </b>Did
everyone have fun this weekend? I think that the Medfair really
went well.<span style=""> </span>We had quite a few newcomers
come to the
Embassy.<span style=""> </span>Tonight we have a few
newcomers: Cynthia Teague from Norman who is interested in
needlework and has a
9 year old son that is interested in youth boffer, and a 7 year
old daughter
that is interested also and a husband that is on the fence. We
also have
Matthew Walker and Belinda Walker from OKC that have been coming
to the open A
& S nights at the Hidden Castle.<span style="">
</span>Welcome newcomers. HE Kathryn will be putting together food
for lunch
for newcomers at the Wiesenfeuer Baronial any donations are
welcome. Also on
Sunday (4-10-11) after the event, we will be having the siege
weapons available
for anyone that might be interested in practicing. We had a great
Gulf Wars,
the land situation was questionable, but we are already working on
it for next
year. We really had no control over where we were put; we just had
to make the
best of what we had. I wanted to let everyone know that I will be
being
deployed July 28<sup>th</sup> to Kuwait. I know that I don’t need
to ask this,
I know that Namron will be there for HE Caterina.<span style="">
</span>We are not planning on stepping down, we are continuing to
stay
on.<span style=""> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Hospitaler:
</b>We had a really successful Medfair.<span style="">
</span>Thank you to everyone that helped and participated.<span
style=""> </span>It takes a whole Barony to make it
happen.<span style=""> </span>We have the newcomers meeting
scheduled for Thursday April 14<sup>th</sup> at 6pm here at the UU
Church.<span style=""> </span>Please I am asking that each of
you come out
in force and show what you are able to do.<span style="">
</span>I need docents to answer questions and also to demonstrate
and explain
exactly what we do. We also have Beltane coming up, also we have
Wiesenfeuer
Baronial this weekend and we will have a Namron camp with food and
drinks for
all newcomers, so they will feel welcome.<span style="">
</span>I will be needing some help serving throughout the day, I
myself will be
unable during Saturday evening for the feast, so will definitely
need help at
that time.<span style=""> </span>Please let me know if you
are interested in helping.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Seneschal:
</b>Will
be working on things for Beltane, which is coming up.<span
style=""> </span>I also need the officers to get their reports
into me today; they
are due on the 5<sup>th</sup> of each month. The Chronicler is not
present, but
she does have the newsletter uploaded to the Baronial website, HE
Orlando and I
have copies if you would like to have a paper copy.<span style="">
</span>The web minister is also not here due to illness. My name
is
Margherita de Mantua, my position is the seneschal, which is the
legal
representative of the Barony, keeping things in order, and keeping
things
running smoothly is one of the things that I do.<span style=""> </span>Making
sure all the reporting is done and turned in on time, is
another thing that I do. Some have said herding cats is part of it
also.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 10pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Medfair
Coordinator:
</b>It has been a most successful Medfair, I say Job Well Done to
everyone.<span style=""> </span>The Embassy was very
impressive, the living history with the games was great, the
A&S tent will
all our creations was enjoyed by all, the trebuchet’s and ballista
were
wonderful. Thank you Baron Donnchadh for making it possible to see
it in Visio
all laid out.<span style=""> </span>I had the final
debriefing with Ann Marie, she loved all that the SCA had and did,
the only
problem she had was that we need to keep a presence until 7pm and
no driving
onto site until after 7pm.<span style=""> </span>Ann Marie
stated that the fair easily broke 300,000, on Saturday alone it
was about
200,000.<span style=""> </span>Ann Marie has not done the
inventory on the t-shirts so there may still be some available for
a $2
discount. Also if we can make a list of things that went well at
the fair and
things that did not go well and get them to me so that we can do a
better job
next year it would be greatly appreciated.</p>
