Highlights from the Sept 26 Commons
Whyt Whey: Tomas will be new Exchequer.
Viceroy: We're doing Spring Crown in Westchester, 5/2/98; Andrea will run the event, with Gideanus as chef.  Sean is stepping down as Seneschal in January; would-be suckers successors should contact the Viceroy in writing.
Lions End: Lion in Winter will be 12/13 at St. Thomas Episcopal in Farmingdale.  There's room for 96 onboard, none offboard.  Absolutely no flames.  Debbie Globus autocrat, Igraine and Brekke cooks, Susan Walters reservations, and Eleanor the Fair in charge of merchants.
Seneschal: Sean is running Brewers' Collegium 12/5-7.
Broken Bridge: First issue of newsletter about to be printed and mailed.  Brewing class 10/3, spinning workshop 10/6, garb-fitting 10/13, fighting practice in Prospect Park 10/19, heraldry class 10/20, garb construction 10/27.
Chronicler & Webmaster: as usual, please send us stuff: articles, artwork, photos, etc.
Vicereine: The Queens County Farm Fair demo went OK, but we'd like more people and better planning next year; the Farm is enthusiastic about educational events like EKU and demos, so let's keep them happy.  Since Aethelmearc's secession, there are weird politics going on; keep ears open for rumors, but check them with Katherine & Ian before repeating or acting on them.
Mouche: St. Valentine's will be on St. Valentine's day at the Masonic Lodge in Hicksville.  Mouche & Sean will run it, with Mark & Nicole cooking.  This year's geographic theme is Florence.
Cai: Usual first-Monday dance class cancelled for 10/6.  Usual last-Thursday heraldry class will occur 10/30 but not in Nov. or Dec.  Seahorse Ball will be 1/17 at Ft. Hamilton: teaching dance during day, potluck dessert revel & dance in eve.
