March Seneschal’s Report for the Canton of KaldorNess

Our regular monthly business meeting was held at Hugh and Murna’s house on 2/24 with 12 members including four new visitors in attendance.   Our next meeting will be on 3/23 at 7pm, at Jacinda’s home, weather permitting. Please watch the email lists.

We currently have $1256.52 being held for us by the Barony of 3M.  This includes the tithe donation made last month of $293.02 that was previously voted upon and a change of $70 as a reimbursement  to Carith for the largesse parties at the Odd Fellow’s Hall rental.

Discussions were made regarding sending letters to the local schools in our area that we are available for classroom style mini-demos on request.

Considering having a semi-regular thrown weapons practice – Jacinda is finding out how to get Marshaled for thrown weapons.

We did attend the customary meeting on 2/26, learned a lot and spoke our minds respectfully.

In service,

February Seneschal’s Report for the Canton of KaldorNess

Our regular monthly business meeting was held at Appoline’s house on 1/27 with 5 members and two new visitors in attendance.   Our next meeting will be on 2/24 at 7pm, at the same Hugh & Murna’s home.

We currently have $1326.52 being held for us by the Barony of 3M. The Canton members did converge for a vote on 2/7 and 2/8 and unanimously agreed to volunteer a percentage payment to The Barony of Three Mountains for what we feel is our share of the lawsuit settlement as put in place by the Kingdom. The amount that we would donate would be $293.02

Kaldorness had a wonderful event last weekend! We are pleased that we had a great turn-out and we certainly feel we want to do it again. We freely admit there were some issues with registration and we feel that it’s a “lesson learned” and that all future Accademia events will be handled more smoothly.

In service,

Greetings to All

The Embellishers Grand Accademia is on line and open! Please come it’s
February 18-19th At Scappoose High School. We have an awesome list of

Greetings Your Excellencies, Council Members and Guests:

Please accept this report in my absence – I am not seasoned enough to be comfortable driving in this unpredictable weather and for the safety of myself and others, I will remain at my residence until the rains settle in.

There was no business meeting in the month of December due to the holidays. We did meet in November and incorporated our Quarterly Social gathering into it as previously reported at the last council meeting.

There have been no changes to our funds being held by 3M since the last report.

Accademia:

The focus of our group and many other recent gatherings have been in preparation for the Accademia event on February 18-19, 2012.  All classes & schedules and other good stuff is posted on our website: http://www.kaldorness.org and the event is by pre-registration only so if you wish to attend, please make sure your completed form and payment are mailed soon!  The registration must be postmarked by February 4, 2012.

We are still in need of folks to help out at the event –

·         helping teachers bring in  and take out their fabulous class gear,

·         helping set up and staff the snack table,

·         helping check folks in at the gate table (no money here, just registration packets and blue cards),

·         helping folks to classes,

·         and of course cleaning up afterward.

Please consider volunteering an hour or even 15 minutes here and there to make this classroom-focused event happen.

We look forward to seeing you all there.

Sincerely,

Jacinda of Kaldorness

Greetings unto All on this fine summer evening. 
     At the last Kaldor Ness meeting we discussed the making of small cloth bags for largesse.  A variety of period-appropriate-ish looking materials have been donated and are being cut out with the intention of having bags available for Sport of Kings in August.
