Highlights from the May 16 Commons

Seneschal: Broken Bridge and Whyt Whey have new Seneschals.  Northpass
and Lions End will have new Seneschals within a few months, and
Ostgardr will have a new Seneschal in January; we'll need an Officers'
Meeting in autumn to elect Sean's replacement.  There have been
conflicts over one Canton sponsoring events in another Canton's
territory; we expect people on all sides to use common courtesy and
work these things out like civilized adults.  Creating office of
Provincial Bard; probably chosen at Agincourt.  Brew U. is probably
Dec. 6.

Whyt Whey: Guy is Deputy Seneschal.  We're restarting archery practice
some time.  Most Canton meetings are at Belvedere Castle in Central
Park unless it's raining, in which case they're at Ana's or Branwen's.
Banner-making workshop at Kamilah's, 11 AM June 7.  Hosting Useful
University on Oct. 18.  Chatelaine got a call from CBS about fighter
practice as a "sport in NYC"; Sean reminds everyone to contact him
immediately if contacted by the press.

Northpass: We held a successful demo for 6-year-olds at Mahopac Library
on 5/14; a demo for 6th-graders will be at Pleasantvill Middle School
on 5/30.  Barleycorn will be the weekend of Sept. 6-7; considering
equestrian demo there.  Chris Peters will be Webmaster.  Rick's posters
impressed Pace University; trying for an official student organization
and an official meeting place.  Archery practice at Blue Mountain has
been poorly attended, and Ro will run it only if people tell her in
advance that they're coming.

Broken Bridge: planning regular fighter practice.  Considering event in
Prospect Park next year.

Lions End: Jessica will become Seneschal in July; Mouche will switch to
Chatelaine until she leaves.  Lion in Winter will be December 13.

Herald: Kingdom herald was very happy we enclosed SASP with recent
submissions; recommend this to all heralds.  People, please make &
display banners.  Best contact for Provincial herald is email (see
Regnum).

Exchequer: we filed a balanced report, unlike 1/3 of the groups in the
East....

Viceroy: Draft bylaws have been printed and await only address lists
from all Canton chroniclers; please comment in writing (not email!).
Speaking of which, the Viceroy has a new email address:
ostgardr@hotmail.com.  (No, it's not spelled "hotmale"....)  When you
go to a demo, remember that it's not an event: if you're there in
costume, you're "on", and representing the SCA to the public.

Kingdom Bard: remember bardic circles 1st Thursdays at Belvedere (or
Ana's or Branwen's if raining).  Considering recording tape for Kingdom
fundraising.
