>>VIRTUAL HOSPITALER’S REPORT FOR THE MONTH OF JANUARY.
>>                          BARONY OF THE STEPPES
>>(normally given at the business meeting, but due to snow and ice...)
>>
>>JANUARY STATS -- We had 15 newcomers total contact and/or join up with our
>>Barony in January: of those 15, 12 were online contacts, 3 from fighter
>>practices, and 5 were transfers from other kingdoms.
>>
>>TWELFTH NIGHT -- We had 7 newcomers at our Newcomer’s Table at 12th Night
>>in
>>January!  Mischele & little Malayna, Jenna, Diana, Patty, Brendan (Noble)
>>and Anne (Donna).  All of our newcomers wore wonderful late period
>>garments
>>and adornments that were worthy of Laurels!  Vivat to newcomer Mischele,
>>who
>>won the Late Period Women’s garb competition!!  She designed her costume
>>from pictures she found on the internet and constructed them in less than
>>two weeks!!  Anne had also constructed some beautiful garments for her and
>>her husband, Brendan, which we all ooooh’d and ahhhhh’d over!  She had
>>designed her costumes from the internet as well.  Please note that Noble
>>and
>>Donna Field are now Brendan and Anne.  During Court and Feast, we were
>>close
>>to all of the action (sweating it just a bit during the heavy weapons
>>competition that took place a stone’s throw from us, though the Marshalls
>>took good care that we didn’t end up with a fighter across our table), as
>>well as able to hear the comments made by Their Majesties, Their
>>Highnesses,
>>and Their Excellencies heaping glories upon those who deserved them.
>>Remember, we always need “mentors” (those who sit with our newcomers to
>>help
>>explain the awards and structure during Court), so please donate your time
>>to sit with us and help us out at future Steppes indoor Courts.
>>
>>JANUARY STEPPES’ SINGALONG -- The Steppes’ Singalong went well.  Though we
>>opened up the Steppes’ Singalong to everyone who was interested in
>>relearning the old songs and reminiscing back to the days of olde, it was
>>originally created for newcomers who had never been exposed to those songs
>>so often heard around the bardic fires at events.  We had 16 people in
>>attendance!!  Several who were new to these songs (I hesitate to call them
>>newcomers as they have been around for awhile, now) were:  Brendan and
>>Anne,
>>Andrew and Stellaluna, Lord Iames and Liadan, and, our more recent
>>newcomer,
>>Patty Healey.  Others in attendance were Clare, Doña Antonia, Rosemunde,
>>HL
>>Averial, Ghiselaine and Colin, HE Fritz (who brought our guest from the
>>Principality of Lochach), and, of course, myself.  Vivats go to Clare for
>>organizing the song materials and songbooks (and generally running the
>>show), and to Brendan and Anne for the use of their home.  All attendees
>>receive a songbook in which to add songs during future monthly singalongs.
>>We are in need of more bards and people who know the tunes to these songs!
>>I am familiar with some of the melodies, but not all, as was witnessed, so
>>others are especially needed to help out!  Won’t you please join us?  It
>>was
>>a lot of fun!!  My personal thanks go to His Excellency Fritz, Rosemunde,
>>Colin and Andrew when they were able to help in those areas where melodies
>>failed me.   The next gathering will be Wednesday, February 13th, at the
>>home of Lord Iames and Liadan in Richardson.
>>
>>DEPUTIES -- Please note that the following are my current Deputy
>>Hospitalers:  HL Chiara is my Virtual Deputy to help me with online
>>contacts; Milady Clare is my Primary Contact Deputy and protégée who helps
>>with her presence at the practices and welcoming newcomers online; and
>>Lady
>>Morgan Cain is my Printed Materials Deputy.  I want to publicly recognize
>>them for all of their help since I stepped into this office 9 months ago –
>>I
>>couldn’t do it without them!
>>
>>DEMO COORDINATOR -- Hooray!  We have a Steppes’ Demo Coordinator!  Vivat
>>Laird Iames!!  He has started off with a bang as witnessed by many at last
>>month’s Populace!!  Please volunteer in helping out at the many upcoming
>>demos – especially at Irish Fest!!   Fighters are needed, dancers are
>>needed
>>and, otherwise, all any other volunteers need do is wear garb, work on a
>>project, or display some of your A&S items.    Please contact Laird Iames
>>for further information.
>>
>>IN FEBRUARY -- Newcomer Orientation to Heraldry / Heraldic Consultation
>>Worknight. This will take place soon after Border Wars at Lady Margarite’s
>>home in Carrollton. This will be a quick orientation on naming practices
>>(locative vs. descriptive, patronymic, etc.) and heraldic device work-up
>>(charges, rules of tincture, submission, etc.), followed by a consultation
>>/
>>research session with available heralds and the books available in the
>>heraldic library.  All local members of the College of Heralds are
>>encouraged to attend and help out with the consultations.  I will post the
>>finalized date of the special heraldic worknight on the list as soon as it
>>is definite.  Otherwise, please contact me.
>>
>>That’s it!  Have fun in the snow and stay warm!
