[Ravensfort] Long April Populace minutes!

[Gary and Carolyn Pace]

Greetings to all,
   Last nights Populace was attended by approximately 35 people. The news is
as follows-
Mistress Shanahan- stressed the need for people to bring a project to the
demo meeting at the end of this month. She also would like artisans to show
their crafts. An English dance class is in the beginning plannings by
Jaycinth. More info to follow. Giovanna will do a beginning sewing class in
the fall for the Raven's Guild and other interested populace members. Don
Charles and Taco won several awards in a mundane contest called the Brew
Off. Don Charles won a silver and Taco won a silver and a bronze. Vivat to
them!
Aiden the Apothecary is in the beginning stages of a guild called Raven's
Apothecary. And Keely is doing research and possibly starting a Bardic
Guild.  Go Guilds!!

Rosalia of Raven's Fort- the student guild has been very busy. They had a
second archery day. They are participating in a Lion's Club day where they
will dress in garb as a fundraiser. Rosalia will step down as President of
the Raven's Guild this May. She has done a wonderful job even though she
went to school, held a job, worked events, held guild meetings and got
married during it all. Vivat to Rosalia!

Don Charles-rapier practice continues to be held every Monday night at 6 pm.
They had 3 last month. They are thinking of bumping the time up and will
discuss this at a later date.

Two officer positions are now declared open and will be advertised in the
Quoth. Our Reeve position and our A&S position will be taking applications
until May  31. The position will be warranted at this summer's Round Table.
Please send your app to the Coastal Regional officer of that position, the
Seneschal, the current officer and one copy to the B&B.

Lord Devin- the demo was discussed.
We need help in all areas and many people to do them. We need villagers to
walk around the area as well as fighters, artisans, musicians etc. We will
set up on Thursday, April 28. The demo will run Friday 9-5, Saturday 9-5,
and Sunday 12-5.Gavin Rede will take pictures of the demo for us.  Take down
help will be needed as well. This demo is important for our Barony so please
come and help.

B&B- site maintenance was discussed. A workday of Saturday May 21 was set.
Lunch to be provided by Their Excellencies. Sir Kief has taken on the
responsibility of being curator of our dear Stones.  HE DSD also spoke of
the need and desire to do this important project. We are sure work will get
started on this soon. The workday will also be a day of cutting the deadfall
around the site and  the planning  of a new metal stand for the kitchen
water. Berengaria's husband, Billy, attended the meeting and he will help us
in these projects.We will need all hands that day to chain saw, haul off the
wood with tractor and truck. The weather will be milder than in August and
will leave less to do then which is the reason for an early May workday.
Mirabellis will take on the equestrian area cleaning and redoing whatever
needs to be done there. We will be building the gallery again with treated
wood and Brian will be the go to person for this.  All the people who have
volunteered to do a project will need our help so keep posted as info will
come from them.

 We need an Autocrat for Defender. It will be set at May Populace so we can
begin planning. All of our champions will run their list so it is an easy
event to run etc.
 I may have forgotten something as it was a lot to digest but I know the
officers will correct me if need be.


Your In Service,
Giovanna Baroness of Raven's Fort

PS- The Quoth has a great drawing on the front done by Cindy of our Raven's
Guild. Vivat to Cindy!
