Old Business:

Fall Crown 2022 Bid: Working on putting the bid together. Got prices for 2022 from Armond and Sofonisba. Reached out to St Johns Military Academy and Kushing Elementary as backup locations (in case of weather). Kushing is not available, St Johns is working on their calendar and will get back to us in a week or so.

New Business:

Border Skirmish: We have a possible site, they have a possible site, meeting on the 28th. We also need an autocrat on our side.

Viking Hiking: Looking for holding it Sunday March 20. Trying to finalize where.

Geek Week Demo: They have been talking to UWM Event Services. March 2. From 12-3, with an hour to set up and an hour to take down. They will provide 3 10 foot tables and barriers. They want to have people fighting, but also people demonstrating arts and crafts. Laptops showing videos, such as The Dream and Off the Cuff. We need to know who can come. (Need people who can stand around to show things off, people to fight, and people to just hang out.)

Turn an dem See: We have been contacted by the seneschal of TADS to tell us that their group is dissolving. They would like to know if we want to absorb some of their zip codes. We should take back Washington County and Jefferson County. Should check Kingdom Law. Should check what zip codes we want, work with Windhaven, then bring it back to a vote. Historically this should be a thing for the baron and baroness to decide.

Experimental Arts and Sciences: Geoffrey and Tatiana invite everyone to an event in Mare Amethystinum. (http://northshield.org/Events/EventAd.aspx?ID=4565)
