Event updates
Athenaeum
contract signed, insurance paid. First draft of catalogue finished. Site map is ready for printing. Finalizing laurel signups. More volunteers are needed. Setup window 1:30-3:30PM on Friday. Need help with Gate. Will be able to take cards at Gate. 125 people have pre-paid. Schedule note: artisians can show up at 8, laurel meeting is 9. Opening court at 10am, so awards being handed out can be displayed by their artists. 4PM: pack down and royal court.
Peasant’s revel
At the usual place, usual time. Seems to have a lot of interest. Bring cups,
bowels, spoons, sunscreen.
Ice cream social for august?
Gera suggests for the social for end of summer. 12th of August.
Seems like a good thing to direct newcomers from peasant’s to. Donations of ice
cream and tables would be helpful.
Emprise
STILL going to flying horseshoe! Have a gate head now. A few staff positions
still need filling.
Northwest Scarcoma foundation fundraiser.
Looking for participation for a feast fundraiser. Would like “colorful”
participants to join in. Downtown Seattle. October 19th. No-one is available to spearhead this project
though several would be willing to “show up & look pretty” on the day of…
12th night 2021.
Might be thinking about putting together a bid, looking for hotel options.
Might be able to partner with Wyewood and provide leadership. Would need an event steward. Wywood needs to
discuss more details. Contact Gera if interested in helping out.

Etoile- spelling question. Which one is correct?

Approved by kingdom!
Pulling together a bid for baronial banquet, A&S. how do
we want to break out the possibly two events?
Currently on an 18 month cycle, okay with keeping champions for that long.
Gathering judges and competitors is challenging. Making it more accessible
would be helpful. Idea: championships held as part of the day of banquet. More
casual and open, lower requirements from judges.
Do we need to have the competitors sitting with their display? (makes it
difficult for people who are working in the kitchen to compete)
