<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Everything possible was done considering the circumstances concerning the canceling of populace. The fireman were setting up their ER command center to deal with the ice and snow storm. As soon as I found out I notified the seneschal. The seneschal, other members of the barony, and myself began calling everyone we possibly could and as fast as possible. There were also messages posted on facebook, ravensfort email list, phone text, and college guild list. It is possible that some members did not get the messages for those who didn't a note was left on the door. I am sorry that some members of the barony did not get notified until they saw the note on the door, but everything humanly possible was done to notify the populace. Sometimes SCA activities have to deal with mundane circumstances especially the weather and devastating consequences that come with it. Considering the special circumstances I think everyone did a fantastic job.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>In Service,</DIV>

<DIV>P.S. It was nice seeing you and the other members of the barony at the restaurant. I think great fun was had by all. Take care.</DIV>

I was not phoned at all! What we need is a phone tree that would inform people two or more hours before the event. <BR><BR>My second suggestion goes toward the fire-station wanting to use the meeting hall and leaving us without a meeting place for that night for populace. Or if we can't meet at the fire-station. Let's take a page from a Sci-fi TV show, Stargate SG-1. If our meeting
place isn't available, then we need a "Beta Site." And the ability for those who don't have limited to no transportation to get there. <BR><BR>I hope that last night could be different and done in a more positive manner. <BR><BR>Lord GAVIN REDE<BR><BR></DIV></DIV></div><br>
