*Archery Report – Tymme* (Tim Geyer)
*** Office seeking applicants for Chief Archer*
 Archery is still happening.  Expenses have been low lately, trying to keep
them that way.  I'm starting to use the 100 target faces I bought at the
end of the year, not sure how long they will last.



Irene MacKenny is running Cupid Gets the Shaft, which will be this weekend
(weather permitting) or next weekend (also weather permitting).



Reminder that top 10 medallions will be announced in court at Feast of St.
Bubba, and handed out to those who are present.  For any who are not
present, I will work with Their Excellencies to distribute appropriately.



*Thrown weapons* – Geoffrey (Jeff Reeds)
Targets are needed.  We received a few rounds/logs but need a chainsaw.
Also need new frames and stands replaced.  Some may need minor repair work.

Updates to website & check to mailing list.

No reports of hack attempts.



*Chronicler Report – Emma* (Jennifer Usher)
We have a new Kingdom Chronicler HL Tachibana Tsukime at 12th Night and we
have been in communication.



Jamesredbeard is working on our Newsletters now.  His goal is to have a
Newsletter every 2 months. As you know, he captures amazing moments at
events but will need your assistance on missives or stories to put into our
Newsletter.    My belief, having our Newsletter be on-line and having it so
visual pleasing – will inspire so many that are new to come our way.



Every meeting … I know I keep talking about the Library.  Our Library is
designed to hold our history, I believe it had books to loan out and
reference shelf for events, etc.  I know it is in safe hands with Meryld
and once we finally connect so I can evaluate, I will give a full update.

*Baronage – Baron Evrard *(David Keil) *and Baroness Alessandra *(Denise
Garlington)
