[Steppes] We are near a cross-road

[Steppes Seneschal]

As a Barony, the Steppes must maintain a certain number of officers.  As I
have observed over the past few years, this has become more and more
difficult to do.

If you have server as an officer during the past 3 years or are currently
serving, this letter is not directed to you.  It is directed to those who
have not taken the opportunity to serve the Barony.

I know all the reasons used to not become an officer:

   I'm shy and can't talk in public...
   I'm too new...
   I'll just mess it up...
   There are others that will do a better job...
   It looks to hard to do...

You get the idea.  The problem with this is the those who choose to serve,
wear out.  As each person 'wears out'  they take longer and longer before
deciding  to serve  again.  Right now  we have  5 offices that need
applicants as soon as possible ( Hospitaler, Chronicler, Treasurer, A&S
minister and Seneschal ).  Several of these offices are required for us to
remaining a Barony.

We are near a cross-road.  If we are to remain a Barony, we must have new
bodies in these offices, not the same serving few as has been the case.  The
choice is yours.  No one is perfect in an office, so don't let that stop you
from making the attempt.

Please, it is time to get off of the fence and join the parade.
