Start time: 7:25pm
End time: 8:10
Eighteen Members in attendance!

February Meeting will be on 2/26/13 @ Hugh & Muireann’s
March Meeting will be on 3/26/13 @ Rob & Marnita’s

Last meeting’s minutes (Nov) read and accepted.

No reports were filed for December from officers as there was no meeting.

Exchequer (outgoing) Muireann will be meeting with Dani (incoming) to open our new bank account soon. Possibly US Bank.

Members agreed to open and fill the officer position of Chatelaine. Ered has graciously offered his services in this position and will be officially known as Chatelaine of Kaldorness at our next meeting in February.

Appoline has offered to step up into an acting Herald position. At this time we are undecided if a permanent office of Herald for Kaldorness is warranted.

Discussion was made regarding our event for the year. It has been agreed that we will have a Multi-Cultural Accademia, preferably at the same site. Muireann has been in contact with the school in the past and would be the best idea to discuss with them another event at their site. Seneschal will be filling out an EIF to reserve a date shortly. Mariotta has agreed to be the Site Coordinator under the supervision of Muireann, Event Coordinator.

Rob has requested that we make a proposal for a “South vs. North Baronial War”, to be announced at an event this season, ie.. Tryggvy’s. A lot of ideas were discussed and the consensus was that this was a good idea.

We would also like to possibly try and make an appearance at the Baroness’s War as listed in the Kingdom Calendar on 4/12 – 4/14 2013.

Other upcoming events discussed:

Carnivale (with Accademia classes!)- hosted by Dragon’s Mist on 2/16/13
3M Baronial Welcoming Court – at the Milwaukie Presbyterian Church on 3/9/13
Culinary Symposium (for foodies) – in Sandy, OR on 3/29/13
Grand Thing (Stromgard) – first major camping event of the season – on 5/24 – 5/27 2013.

Seneschal has agreed to make arrangements for the last 6 years of paperwork, to be scanned and arranged for storage online; and will discuss plans for making them secure, yet readily available to the group by next meeting. The plan is for Jacinda to be the new paperwork deputy to relieve that responsibility from Baroness Alexandria.

Forever grateful to be in service,

Jacinda of Kaldorness

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, 
Jacinda of KaldorNess, Seneschal

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
classes for you to pick from.

Our balance remains the same and in the able hands of the Master Malcom
with 3M.

IS, Muireann & Hugh

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
