<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Tomas repeated his request that
items of importance to the branch be brought to the attention of officers BEFORE
being put to the populace for their approval.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It is embarrassing to have a superior
officer to ask about a plan and not have any awareness of what the plan
entails.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Old Business:</P>

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Alianora is still researching the
possibility of getting “Bubba Gear” made, to be an ongoing fund-raiser.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Profits could add to the regalia sinking
fund, which currently has about $700 in it.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>The money could go to adding to or
replacing Champions’ regalia, or purchasing items that would be needed when
Wyewood votes in favor of change of branch status.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Beleg still gets all updates for
the Wyewood web site.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>He requested
that information from Wenyeva, who will be replacing Countess Elisabeth as Arts
and Sciences Minister for the balance of that term.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Ulrich reported (e-mail report)

<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Alianora is in the process of
looking into the possibility of submitting a bid for either May Crown or July
Coronation in 2011.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There was a
discussion as to site availability and requirements in the South King County
area, and also about other possible sites in close-by areas.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>It was brought up that perhaps one of
the neighboring branches would be interested in co-hosting such an activity with
Wyewood.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Tomas was asked if he
would contact the Seneschal of Blatha an Oir about this idea.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>A reminder was given that, since
the Emprise of the Black Lion will have Her Majesty in attendance, that this
would be an ideal time to submit names for Kingdom awards.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>There is a place on the An Tir website
to do this. http://www.antir.sca.org/recommendations.php</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Budget for the food for two meals
that Wyewood is serving at the Emprise was approved for $500, although Chris and
Elin doubt that they will need that much (in 2007 the budget for the same two
meals was $400, of which less than half was spent).</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>There will be a poll of the
Wyewood populace on whether to renew our commitment to NHCC for another year of
meetings at the current location.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>(Tomas spoke with the president of the club on 9/14, and there will be no
change in our rental rates for 2011, as long as the date request is made by a
member of that organization.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>Currently, Wyewood has three people that are members)<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN>Should this poll include the question as
to frequency of FCS (stay with two times a month or go back to 4), or to have
additional small group functions at other (free) locations on “off” weeks.</P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>Katarina said that she has gotten
budget requests from most of the officers.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes">
</SPAN>She will verify what positions are currently vacant and not requesting
funds.<SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </SPAN></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt" class=MsoNormal>It was moved and seconded that
the 9/24 Business meeting should be postponed, as quite a few people will be
assisting with set-up at the Emprise location.<SPAN
