Meeting Minutes: 5-Oct-51

Events

  • Regular Event registration begins at the 10/26 Dessert Revel.
  • Fighters and fencers can register in advance for a $5 box lunch delivered to the list fields to ensure you get lunch when the fighting allows. This lunch must be paid for in advance.
  • The theme of the event is “Love vs Death.” Many areas are looking for volunteers and help including:
    • Jolicia – Hall Decorations
    • Sorcha – Classes
    • Claricia – help before and during feast, servers
    • Brendan – Dishwashers
  • For the 26-Oct Dessert Revel Cook’s Challenge, the theme is Food in Costumes – Subtleties and Surprises.” The idea is food trying to look like something it’s not: meat that looks like apples, chicken that looks like knights, sugar that looks like a crown.

Officers

  • Robert: Accounts for Standard Bearers are finally reconciled. We lost $647 on the event primarily due to increased insurance costs and low attendance.
