Old Business

• Silver Anniversary Event has been moved to September. We are still looking for a site. There are two possibilities, but they are dry. Maybe they can be used for other events.
• Spotswood Demo on March 16th. By the middle of February, Toby should have all the information on what they are looking for in the way of demonstrations.
• Summer University 2000. Anne is still looking for a site. She has tentative reservations, since no one will give definite reservations until March or April.

New Business

• Pennsic. Pennsic Books will be coming out in February. Debbie Jo is tentatively acting as land agent. Will there be anyone from Isenfir camping with Isenfir the first week?
• Rena has volunteered to be our ride coordinator for on-campus people. If you need a ride, please let her know, and she will help.
• Caer Gelin will be holding Kingdom War Practice in the spring and would like our help. since we’re not having an event. They want to have dancing, and A&S things going on.
