[Steppes] Re: We are near a cross-road

[Steppes Seneschal]

I have received several requests on "how do I apply", or "what is required",
or "what are the duties", ect.

First, find the person who has the office and act as their depuity.  This
will allow you time to see how the office is run and who does what in the
group.  There are general guide lines for each office, but they are just
general things.  The best way to learn the office is to help run it.

So, find the officer who is looking for a replacement, and offer to help.
That's it.  You will need to be a member and for some offices have phone
access.

I also suggest that you come to business meeting and see how the business
side of things are run.


If you want to be hospitaler -- email juliecunningham65 at yahoo.com

If you want to be the A&S minister -- email Ciard49 at aol.com

if you want to be Chroniciler  -- email crystal.lemming at prudential.com

if you want to be treasured -- email elinthetimid at hotmail.com

And if you want to be Seneschal -- email Steppes.seneschal at gmail.com


I hope to see you all at business meeting on April 4th.
