Canton Meeting Minutes

Wednesday May 25, 2005

Present: Lord William Graham, Lady Eleanora the Tilemaker, Lord Corwyn, Lord Bilgisayar, Lord Deiniol, Lady Suba.

Finance Committee

The finance committe met before the meeting and approved reimbursing expenses incurred by Elenora on behalf of the Canton and the Brew U event. The reimbursements were approved.

Canton Meeting

Meeting called to order at 7:46 pm

Officer’s reports:

Seneschal

The Exchequer position is open and Bilgisayar is unable to serve at this time. Bilgisayar nominated Suba, Deiniol second. There were no additional nominations at this time. This closes the 30 days of nominations, and since there are no other candidates the candidate has been accepted. Immediate warranting is ESSENTIAL. Our previous exchequer steps down in 7 days.

Brew U. was a nice laid-back event that went smoothly. Congratulations and thank you! (this was more eloquent in person).

The Middletown Pride Day Demo went well and we made some contacts.

Discussion - one event per year and our assorted demos is probably sufficient for our resources at the moment.

Got the current list of members from the Southern Region Seneschal. We have approximately 24 members who reside within our borders. We have about 12 active members, and we need a 50% vote to approve the request to graduate from incipiency. The Southern Region Deputy has a concern about one of our zipcodes disconnected, but our original documents should show that this is not the case. Possibly we had an old map and a zipcode may have split without our knowledge.

Make sure we support local events: Alles Faire, Quest, Fishy, Barren Sands War, Landsknecht.

Exchequer

Current Balance is $995.32 according to the records within our possession.

Poles/ropes/stakes are $12.
